Does my races bite count as a primary or secondary natural attack?


Rules Questions


Okay, so quick question. The race my character is has a bite attack (obvious natural weapon) but I don't know if it should be counted as primary or a secondary attack since I also have my sword. By primary does it just mean main natural attack or main attack in general? And thanks and I will be very happy.


A primary natural attack is an attack that uses your full BAB, and adds your full Strength bonus to damage.
A secondary natural attack is an attack that uses BAB-5, and adds half your Strength bonus to damage.

A bite normally counts as a primary natural attack (when used alone or with other natural attacks). However, if you attack with a manufactured weapon (like the sword) alongside the bite, then the bite will count as a secondary weapon instead.


Okay, thanks for the help.
