Thanks for your help!

So, Furious Focus means on a power attack, the text reads:

Furious Focus (Combat)

Even in the midst of fierce and furious blows, you can find focus in the carnage and your seemingly wild blows strike home.

Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack's penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity.

Thus, if I give my Eidolon 2 sets of arms, and then 2 slam attacks, and then the Power Attack feat, do I suffer the -2 for PA on the second Slam?

Both Slam attacks are "Primary Attacks".

(Can sub in "bite" or other Primary Attack forms, too).

Thanks!


It doesn´t matter how Primary Attacks are classified for the purposes of Power Attack damage bonus,
the Feat´s benefit only applies to weapons wielded with two hands, i.e. manufactured weapons.
Your Eidolon can wield a weapon with 2 hands if you want them to, though.

If you attack more than once, you take the power attack penalty. Any attacks after the first is a additional attack.
