Question about Eidolons

[Zeromage]

I have eidolon that looks like a bone devil. I'm a level 1 summoner and I'm building him. It says a biped starts with 2 claw attacks. For my evolutions I want to take:

Tail, Sting, and Tail slap. How many attacks does the Eidolon get?

Can it attack each round with both claws and the tail sting? And then slap?

Or can it just do the claws and then EITHER the swing or the slap.

Or can it just do either claws or tail?

Also, can it move and do any of these combinations, or do the multiple attacks count as full round actions?

Thanks, guys.

multipe attacks count as full round actions. Also, at level 1 you can have a maximum of 3 attacks. If you go to the eidolon page Here you can see everything about them. Which attacks you take is up to you as long as you dont go over the maximum # per level (which at level 1 is 3)

So i can still take those 3 evolutions, but can only use the 2 Claws and one of the two tail attacks each round?

Or can I not even take those three evolutions because it would put me over 3 attacks?

3 attacks. If you want to use claws, tail, slap...doesn't matter. You only get to use 3 attacks per round. If you're rolling that d20 when attacking and you're rolling more than 3 times (other than crit confirmations) in a round something's off.

Go ahead and take those evolutions if you like. You just won't be able to use all of them in a round until later.

Ok, that helps a lot, thanks. For the future, could the one tail do two things, like sting, and then swipe in the same round?

Nope. Unless specified othwerwise (which I don't think it is here), the same appendage only gets one natural attack per turn.

I suppose you could take a second tail evolution and so split the slap and sting attacks between the two of them. Then, for the sake of aesthetics, you could simply describe the eidolon as having a single tail if desired. As long as the rules are adhered to and you've used the right number of evolution points to cover what you want to do, who cares how many tails he's described as having?
