Ok I know these are easy questions for many playgrounders, but I never played with natural attacks and so I have a few of them and didnt want to clutter up the simple qna thread, so here you go.
I have a lizardman character coming up, he has two primary claw attacks and a bite attack at 1d4 each, with reach of 5 ft. I know from basic rules that both of the claws are primary and hit at full BaB and the bite hits at -5 (no multiattack). I am of the understanding that I cannot power attack with any of them as they are considered light weapons.
So what happens when I combine with weapons? For starters, say Im wielding a 1h club in my primary weapon hand, no shield. Do I club and do one claw at full BaB, then the bite at -5? What if I had power attacked the round before? Do I take the hit on aB with no damage bonus, even tho the feat isnt applicable to natural attacks? (im assuming it goes that way.) Also, are any of the natural attacks then considered offhanded weapons and then only get half my str bonus to damage? (I wouldnt think so).
If I am wielding say a 2h longspear, and an enemy slips in past my threat range... perhaps right next to me so I cannot five ft step away on my next round and use the spear again.. I can let the spear go with one hand as a free action and make one claw attack at full BaB, and then bite at -5, right? Or just drop the spear and claw claw bite as normal?
Thanks for the help..
