Monster Attack Question


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

From Stone Giant stat block (Beastiary):
Melee greatclub +16/+11 (2d8+12) or 2 slams +16 (1d8+8)

From Skull Ripper stat block (RotRL Anniversary):
Melee 2 claws +20 (2d6+6/19-20 plus grab), sting +20 (1d10+6
plus poison)

Question is this, if the attack line does NOT contain an "or" does that mean the monster can use all melee attacks as a full round attack?


The slams, claws & sting attacks are Natural Attacks which have special rules outlined in the Combat section of the CRB.

Short answer is Yes, if attacking with Natural Attacks you make them all as a full round action, however you do not get extra attacks for having a high Base Attack Bonus.

The Stone Giant can perform either two slams, or wield his greatclub (which, because of his base attack bonus, happens to also be twice).

The Skull Ripper can perform both claw attacks and a sting as part of a full attack action.
