Rules Questions

So say an orc monk has the toothy racial trait and gains a bite attack. If he uses his bite with his unarmed iterative attacks, the bite becomes a secondary natural attack (-5 to hit, 1/2 damage from strength).

Now what happens if you happen to have dragon style and you apply the dragon style effect (1.5x str damage) to the bite (as a secondary natural attack) via the feral combat training feat? Does the str to damage on the bite go from .5str to 1.5str?

I'd say yes, Dragon Style puts the damage at an absolute, so the original values don't figure into it anymore.

The real question is though, would you be allowed to take the bite as your first attack? The full attack rules would have you take your attacks in order from highest bonus to lowest bonus, and the bite won't be the highest bonus, at its -5 for being a secondary attack.

Yes.

Also, there is no specified order in which you must attack.

You can Bite first.
