EDIT: I must be looking in the wrong place, because I can't find it on the SRD. It's on pg. 73 of Unearthed Arcana, though. Basically, it means that multiclass characters don't have crazy high saves and stupidly low BAB. For example, without fractional BAB/saves, a Wizard 1 / Sorcerer 1 (don't ask why you'd take that class combo) would have BAB 0 and Will +4. With them, the same character would have BAB 1 (form having 2 levels in BAB 1/2 classes: 1/2 + 1/2 = 1) and Will 3 (the same as you normally would from having 2 levels in a class with good Will). You only get the +2 from having good saves once, but you add all the fractional pieces of your BAB and your saves together to get a much more reasonable whole.
