Tengu Monk of the Empty Hand...racial trait


Advice

Grand Lodge

If I create a Tengu Monk of the empty hand, exchanging swordtrained for claw attack (2d3) primary natural attacks, does this mean at level first his attack at full bab with flurry of blows is.........................

claw attack (1d3) (1d3) new racial primary attack replacing swordtrained

bite attack 1d3( original primary nat attack)

Attack empty handed-1 (1d6)

flurry of blows-1 1d6

looking at the alchemist prestige Master Chymist
Feral Mutagen: Benefit: Whenever the alchemist imbibes a mutagen, he gains two claw attacks and a bite attack. These are primary attacks and are made using the alchemist’s full base attack bonus. The claw attacks deal 1d6 points of damage (1d4 if the alchemist is Small) and the bite attack deals 1d8 points of damage (1d6 if the alchemist is Small). While the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist gains a +2 competence bonus on Intimidate skill checks.


Unfortunately you can't combine natural weapon attacks with Unarmed Strikes as part of a flurry of blows. This is stated at the very end of the description of Flurry of Blows. There is, however, the Feral Combat Training feat (Ultimate Combat) that lets you use a natural weapon as part of a flurry of blows. Still, this just means that you can make the natural weapon one of the attacks you are entitled to as part of a flurry of blows NOT in addition to those attacks. Basically, it makes a natural attack a 'monk' weapon in that it can be used as part of a flurry


you can't combine flurry with natural attacks.

But if you had the tengu and had TWF then yes, you can claw, claw, bite, kick, kick as a full round action.

Am i correct to assume the meager 1d3 damages are free weapon choices as piercing, slashing damage which can be upgraded later using KI to imbue lawful silver to bypass DR?

No, they are natural weapons, which are not affected by ki strike or by the monk's unarmed damage progression.

The claws do Bludgeoning & Slashing, and the bite Bludgeoning & Slashing & Piercing.

1 or 3 levels in Unchained Monk make t-rex wildshaping druids very happy.

Not as happy as carnivorous crystal ooze cave druids. :)
