Feral Mutagen and Animal Fury


Rules Questions


Feral Mutagen and Animal Fury both say that you gain a bite attack. So do you get two bite attacks if you take both. Would the second bite attack be at a -5.

I ask this because it seems similar to how animal companions are treated who have one primary attack. When these animals would gain multiattack, they are given a second attack with their primary weapons at -5.


Nope, you just get one bite attack, as that limb was already used. Just use the best one. The animal companion multiattack rule is specific to the animal companion multiattack rule.


So, I suppose there must be a rule that says you can only have one natural attack per limb.


Sort of.

Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their weapons normally but treat all of their natural attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack's original type.

However, that only talks about creatures using manufactured weapons in place of their natural attacks, so... tough to say.

There's also examples of bite and gore being available in a full attack (Gargoyles, for example, do two claws, a bite, and a gore). That sort of seems as though it would be considered the same limb, but it still works.

And this just made me think about Feral Mutagen plus Beast Totem and Vestigial Arms. That could actually make for 4 arms with 4 claws. Fun.
