So, I'm making a half-dragon character that gets 2 claw attacks and a bite attack and I'm wondering how those attacks interact with BAB high enough to grant multiple attacks. If I had 15 BAB and did a full attack, would I attack with all of my Natural attacks 3 times?

EDIT:
Just realized I should totally have put this in the RAW questions thread :facepalm:

No. You'd attack with your primary weapon thrice (at +15, +10, and +5), then attack once with each of your other weapons.

You'd get one bite and one attack with each of your claws, regardless of your BAB (though some feats, class features and magic can give you more).

Depends on what weapon you're using. If you have a longsword, you can go sword/sword/sword/claw/bite. If you've got a bootknife you can go sword/sword/sword/claw/claw/bite.

I never claimed you can't get iterative attacks with manufactured weapons. :smallconfused:

You can't use the claws of whatever hand held the sword. Assuming the claws are on the hands and not like talons on the feet.

Oh right, I see now that he only put one claw in the first example. My bad.

Since you are a dragon you can take the rapid strike and imp rapid strike feats which will give you iteratives with your claws.

If you don't want to bother carrying around weapons, you can take your iteratives with unarmed strikes, and then attack with natural weapons as secondary attacks.
