Animal Companion full attack


Rules Questions


I'm currently playing a level two druid with a tiger companion. I'm a little confused as to how to calculate attack bonus when making a full attack. The animal companion stat blocks don't indicate which of the claw and bite attacks are primary or secondary. Do they all have the same bonus or are the claws treated as secondary and take a minus if they attack the same turn as the bite. Thx.


The Bestiary lists what attacks are primary and secondary. Bites and Claws are always primary attacks. (The Glossary in the back of the book, under Natural Attacks. Specifically, page 302. Or here in the PRD.)

(And the stat blocks do indicate what attacks are secondary - check the Horse. That is the only companion in the core rulebook that has secondary natural attacks.)


Thx that answers my question perfectly...I was looking in the wrong place


Pathfinder changed a lot about how natural attacks work, making them a bit more powerful.
