Hey guys!

When I was looking at natural attacks for creatures with multiple primary attacks, I couldn't tell how many of these they received at a time.

Do you need to make a full attack to receive multiple primary attacks, or do you receive multiple primaries on any attack? Or is there some other way you receive multiple attacks?

Example, a bear has a bite and two claws. When does it receive them all?

Whenever you decide to make a full round attacks you get all the attacks listed. The bear as an example would give you a bite and 2 claws. If you have already moved, and only have a standard action to use then you get one claw or one bite.
