Eidolon and 2 slam attacks


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Can an eidolon with 4 limbs use 2 slam attack as primary for both and use Full BaB for both, Since some monster do like Scarecrows.


Pretty sure, a slam attack takes up two pairs of limbs (i may be wrong) however to answer the over all question. Slams are natural attacks. if the eidolons strength is 20 and he has a bab of +6 all primary natural attacks will be done at +11 if he had 4 slams they would be all at +11.

At starting Lvl a summoner can have his eidolon to do 2d6+str slam damage and with enlarge person casted on the eidolon that makes it 2d8+str don't you think that's bit over power?


Not really, no.

A Barbarian, Fighter, Ranger, etc. can do the same thing with a Greatsword with one hit.

What about this
Slam +4 [2d6+3], 2 claws +4 [1d4+3] each

enlarged
I don't under stand it yet, it says +2 to str -2 to dex which mean +1 to attack roll and damage and -1 to reflex and Ac then it says -1 to attack roll and -1 to Ac.

So the total that I will get is +1 damage roll, no change on attack roll, -2 ac and -1 reflex.

I'm i right?


Yes. And an increase in Reach.

And no, about 4 extra damage is not overpowered at 1st level either. Mostly because it requires 3 consecutive hits to deal an average of 14 damage...when the previously mentioned anything with a Greatsword and 18 Str with Power Attack is clocking in at 2d6+9 (average 16 damage).

Damage numbers are very swingy at low levels. Low levels (1-3) are almost as much rocket tag as high levels (13+).

It evens out very quickly.
