What class is "War"? Is that warrior, or warblade, or maybe even warlock or warmage?

In any event, the order you take the levels in doesn't matter for the total. Just take the total number of levels in each class, look up the BAB and save bonuses for each of them, and add them up. Then, if your BAB is over 5 (it will be), you calculate your iterative attacks.

War - Warrior
BAR - Barbarian
CLR - Cleric
Bon - Bone Knight

OK, sorry, looking over it more closely, it looks like you're using "war" as an abbreviation for "fighter", somehow. So you have 6 levels of Fighter, 1 level of Barbarian, 1 level of Cleric, and 10 levels of Bone Knight.

Fighter 6 has BAB of 6, barbarian 1 has 1, cleric 1 has 0, and bone knight 10 has 7. So your total BAB is 6+1+0+7, or 14. This gives you iteratives at +9 and +4.

Now we do the same thing for saves. Fighter 6 is +5 Fort, barbarian 1 is +2 Fort, cleric 1 is +2 Fort, and bone knight 10 is +7 fort. Base fort save bonus is 5+2+2+7, or +16.

Similarly, Reflex is 2+0+0+3, or +5, and Will is +2+0+2+3, or +7.

A variant I've often used that all my DMs allow (and that you should ask about) is that BAB does still progress. I think this is what you were thinking by "add up zeros to get something"

Normally, A Sorcerer 1/Wizard 1/Cleric 1/Druid 1/Monk 1/Rogue 1 (I know it's absurd) would have a BAB of +0, because level 1 of all 6 classes is 0. However, Wiz/Sor have BAB progression of .5, while the others have a progression of .75.

With the variant I've used, the Wiz/Sor would each add .5, for a total of +1, then the other 4 classes would each add their .75, which would add another +3.

Also, you always round down. So if this guy took another level in rogue, he would have a BAB of 4.75, but it would only function as +4

So instead of having a level 6 character with a +0 BAB, you have a total of +4 BAB. If your DM allows this, then your BAB is:
6 Fighter : +6
1 Barbarian : +1
1 Cleric : +0.75
10 Bone Knight : +7.5
Total: +15.25

So, only a net gain of +1 BAB, but if you level up, any level in a not-bad BAB class (WIZ/SOR) will net you a +16 BAB, giving you attacks at +16/+11/+6/+1.

There's a fractional BAB/Save variant in Unearthed Arcana, but before using it check with the DM to see if he wants you to use it just stick with normal advancement.
