natural attacks questions

[zainale]

so my PC is a level 3 natural attacker and it has 2 claw attacks and 1 bite attack. its my turn to attack am i allowed to attack with all my natural attacks?

if i use disarm with my natural attacks i am armed yet not can i still "automatically pick up the item dropped."? and what kind of action would it be to throw that item/weapon away?

i am still reading the "combat" section of the d20pfsrd site. it is slow going.

If you use a full round attack you get to use all 3 attack. If you disarm someone with a claw the weapon just transfers to your claw(hand).

There is no rule that I know of for throwing an item away, but I would make it into a standard action. What you can do is drop the item behind you(away from the opponent) as a free action.

power attack works with natural attacks? same question with cleave but only with the claws, cleaving with a bite makes no sense?

[wraithstrike]

Yes power attack works. It is described in the feat.

Cleave works with bite and claw attacks. Rules are based on mechanics not flavor. Mechanically you get to make the 2nd attack if the first attack hits.

From a flavor point of view you swing so hard that the attack goes into two people.

so i can replace one of my natural attacks with a combat maneuver? got to make sure this is legal by RAW.

It depends on the combat manuever. Trips, disarms, and sunders can be used in place of a normal melee attack. Grapple takes a standard action so you can't use that one.

sounds all good to me. any advice for a natural attacker?

[Natural 1s]

Cleave uses standard action, so you cannot combine it with fullround attack of 3 natural attacks or pounce.
I have chosen to take arcane strike instead. All feats for my dragon build are here.

i know i just wanted to know if natural attacks can use it

[zainale]

is the arcane strike so you can overcome DR?

[Natural 1s]

it will overcome DR magic
