I'm relatively new to Pathfinder, so please forgive any wrong names or terms I may use when asking this question. Hopefully my intent is clear :^) We had a disagreement during our session last weekend. One of us is running a new half-orc barbarian with animal instinct / bestial rage ability. This is the first time any of us has played a barbarian, including the GM. The PC's contention was that when in bestial rage, his claw/bite attacks should occur one right after the other *in the same action* -- and that the second attack should NOT get the -5 penalty that you typically get with a second attack in a separate action. He also pointed out that many monsters get multiple claw/bite attacks in the same action, with no penalties. The GM contended that any attack, regardless of what you're using to attack with, always follows the two attacks, two actions, with a -5 for attack #2. Our counter-argument was, if that's the case, why bother? Bestial rage seems nerfed otherwise. If the second attack gets a -5, aren't you better off, in most cases, using weapons that do greater damage? Thanks in advance -- both for your help and your forebearance with my noobosity! -OFD |
