Ok right now I'm playing a weird Synthesist 5/Rogue 3/Arcane Trickster 2, and I just levelled so I'm throwing another level into Arcane trickster.
Since BAB comes up later in my post that's +4 for the eidolon, +2 for rogue, and +1(+2 after i level) for arcane trickster, for a total of +7(+8)
I've been a bit confused about how many attacks I get though,
It appears based on looking at monster entries that you're only allowed to attack once with a natural attack regardless of your BAB (2 bites means 2 heads etc.) So I think I've been doing it right so far (limited to 4 natural attacks) but Eidolons are also allowed to use manufactured weapons.
-If I were to pick up some manufactured weapons, would I be able to wield one in each hand? (or each hand up to a limit?)
-The Eidolon BAB is listed assuming natural attacks, so at 6 it doesn't become +6/+1, using manufactured weapons can I attack a second time with each at -5? since my BAB is over 5? or do I need my non-Eidolon BAB to be that high?
-When using manufactured weapons my bite becomes secondary but I can still use it right?
If I'm understanding things, if I take multiweapon fighting, I can get a 1 attack per arm at -2, bite at -5 and another attack from only my main hand at -7 (since using manufactured weapons would free up evolution points I could take 2 more pairs of arms as well for a total of 8 hands)
so If above is correct, instead of 4 attacks at full BAB (average 5d6 per attack with energy evolution) I will have 8 attacks at -2 (average 4d6) 1 at -5 (1d4+3d6) and another at -7 (4d6) (I just assumed 1d6 for weapon damage at the moment because I haven't looked up what weapons I'd use, and included my sneak attack die because I generally use greater invis so I get to sneak attack the crap out of things)
