Would Furious Focus apply if a monster had only one natural attack?


Rules Questions


So Furious Focus eliminates the penalty for two handed weapons, had there been any rulings as to whether it applies to monsters with one natural attack (which deals1.5xSTR damage)?


I fail to see the correlation here as this feat is applied to 'one and two-handed weapon' attacks.


The wording of the feat makes it fairly clear that it cannot be applied to a single natural attack: "When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands." I cannot off-hand (no pun intended) think of any creature that has a natural attack that it wields with two hands.

The fact that such an attack uses the same 1.5x STR multiplier for damage is irrelevant.

While I agree that Furious Focus doesn't apply to Natural Attacks by Raw, I would allow it in my games - only because the wording for Power Attack grants the Natural Weapon user the 3:1 ratio for damage so long as your Natural Attack gives you the 1.5 x STR mod...

But, yeah, by RAW it doesn't apply.
