[3.5] Iterative + natural weapons
So you've got some decent unarmed strike damage. You're big. You're tough. You've got Improved Unarmed Strike. You've also got natural attacks.
What are the rules on combining unarmed strike with natural attacks? Since unarmed strikes can be with any part of your body (headbutt, elbow, knee, etc), you don't actually have to give up one of your natural attacks (usually a claw) since you're not using it to hold a weapon. You'd get all of your normal unarmed iteratives, then all of your natural attacks as secondary attacks (at 1/2 str bonus for damage, and at -5 to hit penalty as normal) correct?
So like, if you've got a BaB of +7 and, 2 Claws and a bite, you'd get your two headbutts at the +7/+2, then the 2 Claws and a Bite all at +2 right?
If you wanted to really screw your attack bonuses, you can even add in TWF for a third unarmed attack?
Even if you're a monk you probably can't flurry though unless you somehow get natural weapons as monk weapons.

Also here is part one.
Edit: Forgot that one.

Re: [3.5] Iterative + natural weapons
See, I wish these were clarified in the actual books. Between reading the Rules Compendium, the PHB, the MM1, and the DMG, I was still a bit confused.
Thanks.

Re: [3.5] Iterative + natural weapons
It was clarified in Dragon 320, in the Sage Advice article starting on page 108. It basically explained that you could do anything you want as long as you take the proper penalties in doing so. It was also addressed in a 3-part Rules of the Game article (part one, part two, part three).
