Awful Archetype Combinations

[ATHATH]

So alter selfed into a Tabaxi you have…..
Claw claw bite attack routine (all appear to be primary)

Okay, I've recently learned that most of the benefits of the Alter Self spell in PF come from it being a spell from the Polymorph subschool. The reason I rated Metamorph so poorly was because I had incorrectly assumed that Alter Self (and the Monstrous Physique line) only applied the effects listed in its description: a different appearance, a +2 to either STR or DEX, and possibly darkvision, low-light vision, scent, and/or a swim speed. The stuff about adding natural attacks (like it did in 3.5) is tucked away in the description of the polymorph subschool.

Well, that's a bit of egg on my face.
