I've been working on a Mr. Hyde (http://pathfinder.ogrehut.com/2010/07/alchemists-guide-mr-hyde/) Alchemist build for a Pathfinder game I'm about to join, and I had a couple of questions and misconceptions that I needed cleared up before I'm done.
Namely, I need to better understand how the Feral Mutagen (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/feral-mutagen), Tentacle (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/tentacle-ex), and Vestigal Arm (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/alchemist/discoveries/paizo---alchemist-discoveries/vestigial-arm-ex) discoveries interact with wielding a manufactured weapon. The errata'd rules (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/pathfinder-faq#TOC-Natural-Attacks-and-Weapon-Attacks-) state that mixing natural and manufactured attacks works like how it did in 3.5 - with all of the natural attacks becoming secondary attacks and thus attacking at BAB-5.
Here's the question I have, though. The Vestigal Arm and Tentacle Discoveries state that they DO NOT give the alchemist any extra attacks or actions, but they CAN wield a weapon.
So, is it possible for a level 20 Alchemist with one Vestigial Arm or Tentacle and the Multiattack (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/monster-feats/multiattack-combat) feat wielding a Longsword in the Arm or Tentacle to make a full attack including +15/+10/+5 Longsword, +13 Bite, & 2 +13 Claw attacks?
