Primary attacks


Round 2: Summoner and Witch


Hi. Just a short question. Jason clarified the two claws attacks for the bidepal eidolon are primary attacks. The "Bite" evolution says that is also a primary attack. Am I correct in assuming that all three attacks are primary then (and not that an obscure rule says if I take a bite attack the claws become secondary)?

Because a bipedal eidolon with a bite, two claws, increased strength and power attack does well at first level then. :)

The only thing is your are getting only x1 damage for the strength on the claws and bite and 1.5x for the power attack. It is the same for Druid animal companions like the ape.

On my Eidolon I did bite, trip and nat ac. with power attack.


I knew that. It is simply that, using power attack, you end up having 3 attacks at +5 that deal 1d4+6/1d4+6/1d6+6. Which is a-ok with me.
