Making the most of Natural Attacks


Advice

Grand Lodge

Hi, i'm currently working on a lizardfolk fighter of the savage warrior archetype. I'd like some help on what feats I should take to maximize my usefulness to my party.

I've already acquired multi-attack and am looking at eldritch claws. I know i'll be getting an Amulet of Mighty Fists also.

Links to suggested feats would be much appreciated so I could get them all written down in one place. Thanks ahead for the help.


Well, there is dangerous tail for a tail slap. It is a secondary natural attack, but it is another natural attack for you to get the static bonuses to your attacks.

Except the charge thing, I am not sure if that archetype has much to actually offer you. So keep the possibility of other archetypes in mind. The substitute for weapon training does not look like it counts for items like gloves of dueling (which would be an extra +2 to attack/damage on all your attacks)

I particularly like the eldritch guardian archetype- since the familiar gets your combat feats, you can abuse the few teamwork feats that apply, which includes a pseudo pounce with coordinated charge, allowing you to charge with your familiar as an immediate action (which means you end up next to the enemy when your next turn starts- ergo pseudo pounce). But that is just me.


I really like the combination of Feral Combat Training, Improved Natural Attack, and Snake Fang. Take 3 levels in Monk and take Monastic Legacy so your Unarmed Strike Damage will keep increasing even if you multiclass. Then you get to use your claws as an Attack of Opportunity whenever someone attacks and misses you, which will have a base damage of 2d6 by level 6 if you work in FCT and INA. Also, take your Unarmed Strike in addition, why not?

Get Hamatula Strike, and wear armor spikes and every claw or bite attack will do an extra 1d6 + bonuses.

Polymorph into a Giant Octopus, and take FCT and INA for your tentacles. Wear Octupus-shaped armor with armor spikes. Giant octopi have both Grab and Constrict. Behold, the Monktopus!

Collect magic items that give you more natural attacks. Take a level in White Haired Witch, Helm of the Mammoth Lord gives you a Gore Attack. There is a Tentacle Cloak. Anaconda Coils give you Constrict.

Polymorph into a 4-armed sahaugin and make 4 claw attacks.
