Eidolon and Rend


Rules Questions


So the eidolon can take this evolution. It states that when you hit with two claws you get to do extra damage equal to a claw's worth plus 1.5 strength mod.

My question is does this ability only apply to the first two claws to hit or does it apply to ever pair of claws that hits in a single attack?

Say I have an eidolon that has 4 claws, and all 4 claws hit. Do I get two rend bonuses or just one?

I tend to lean towards getting just one bonus per attack action. However, I can see the other side of it too.

EDIT: Posting this again because the first time I made the thread the board malfunctioned or something and it didn't post the thread correctly as you can't see my post.

That's was my conclusion as well.


If the creature is hasted (and thus making multiple claw attacks with a single claw), do you have to specify which attacks are from which claw?

I would think not, partly due to simplicity and partly because you can declare your haste attack so that it always qualifies. If the first claw hits, you make the haste attack with your second claw. If the first claw misses, you make the haste attack with that claw. The haste spells says that "a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding". (My emphasis).
