A special unarmed base attack bonus (UBAB) replaces the normal BAB for monks (and only monks) who fight unarmed or with a kama (if also not wearing armor nor using a shield). This progression gives extra attacks at -3 off the previous attack, rather than the normal -5, with up to six attacks per round possible from this progression. (While the pattern indicates a seventh attack should be possible, the game does not allow it.) As with the regular BAB, this special UBAB is based upon the base attack achieved at level 20 for epic characters.

There is no level requirement; merely having a single monk level gives a character access to this progression. However, monk levels are listed in the following table as a reference for those playing characters with only monk levels.

Base attacks above 15 (hence also the sixth attack per round) are not possible for a monk without multiclassing.
