Flyby Attack and Full Attack


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

I have a hawk animal companion who will be taking the Flyby Attack feat next level. I'd love to find a way (through a feat most likely) for the hawk to use Flyby Attack and still get a full attack (bite and 2 claws)

Any ideas?


Not gonna happen, sorry. Getting pounce is hard enough, but move-full attack-move just doesn't exist outside of very specific builds, and definitely not on an animal companion.

That's what I'm afraid of, but I'm not ready to admit defeat quite yet!


It is not possible, not with flyby attack which specifically calls out a standard action. Outside of classes I don't think it is possible at all, and certain creatures which have pounce.

edit: I just realized that you are trying to move attack and then move. Nope, that wont work with a full attack, not with animal companions anyway.


Mobile Fighter is the only method I can think of to accomplish this. At level 20, it lets you make a Full-Attack as a standard action. That would validly combine with Flyby Attack (which calls out taking a standard action). The problem, naturally, is getting an AC with 20 levels of Fighter.
