Monster attacks, archaic?


General Discussion

I sure they are not, but can someone point me as to where this is written? I'm asking because unharmed strike has this property and Vesk and other races have the archaic property removed to their unharmed strikes.


I think it depends on what you are fighting. A lot of stuff in the last adventure path book were things using archaic weaponry. For humanoid type things its pretty easy to tell if they are archaic or not. For monsters I am less sure but I think it is only archaic if it is called out as such.

In general we don't say what things aren't. So the fact we never say "natural attacks are archaic" is the signal that they are not archaic, especially since we define them (along with natural weapons) on page 155 of Alien Archive without mentioning archaic at all.

Thanks I figured as much but since they were really specific with some races I had to ask
