I'm making a Tengu Vivisectionist+Beastmorph Alchemist and I have run into quite a few questions along the way.
First of all, I'm taking the claws alt racial trait for the Tengu. I have STR 17 - does this mean that my combat routine as claw-claw-bite results in +3 to hit and D3+3 damage for each of the three attacks (so no halving of the strength bonus to damage on any of them and no negative modifiers to hit on any of them)?

Second, what happens if I cast Enlanrge Person on myself? Tengu, though medium sized, have atypical damage for their natural attacks (D3 for both bite and claw). Does Enlarge Person upgrade the dice to D4 or do I go by the Natural Attacks table giving D8 bite and D6 claws?

On second level, I plan to take the Feral Mutagen Discovery which gives me (while the Mutagen is in effect) D8 bite and D6 claws - how does Enlarge Person affect these?

Finally, as a Beastmorph, on third level, I will get the a single Alter Self effect from the Mutagen for free. One possibility is a size bonus of +2 to Strength or a size bonus of +2 to Dexterity. How does Enlarge Person affect these?

At sixth level, I get two choices from the Beast Shape I to add as bonuses for the Mutagen use. Among these are "Small animal: If the form you take is that of a Small animal, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Dexterity and a +1 natural armor bonus." and "Medium animal: If the form you take is that of a Medium animal, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength and a +2 natural armor bonus."
Since I'm not actually changing shape (if I understood correctly, I just gain beastly traits), can I choose either (or even both?)? And how do they work with the Alter Self and Enlarge Person?
Whew. That's quite a bit. I'm pretty much a complete Pathfinder beginner (this is my second char and my previous one died level 2), so some of that stuff might be entirely obvious - sorry about that.
