What is the best class/combo for a natural attacker?

The primary race that I have in mind are Skinwalkers, given the different variants we should be able to come up with just about any class as a possibility but I want to figure out whats best.

The top 3 in my option are
Invulnerable Rager Barbarian
Mutagenic Mauler Brawler 1/ Feral Hunter X (this give insane bonuses)
Natural Attack Combat Style Rangers.


Are you looking for "always on" natural attacks, or would Bloodragers and the like count?


Nimble Guardian Monk 7+. Hard to argue with 4x 6d8 damage claws on a charge.

Alchemist Beastmorph/Vivisectionist of boar skinwalker race. See N Jolly's guide as this is one of his builds

Bloodragers and Barbarian's definitely should be taken into account due to how effective they are but I would prefer something that doesnt invalidate a race's "always on" natural attacks

Do you think that the Mutagenic Mauler approaches this? Sure it lacks SA but it has Full BAB.


No; alchemist gets pounce, sneak attack, 4 primary natural attacks with feral mutagen and 2 secondary natural attacks. And the ability to polymorph (monstrous physique II) into a 4 armed gargoyle which has 6 primary natural attacks.

Hard to compete with that... outside of a Beast Totem Ragebred Invulnerable rager I guess. :-(


Are we talking Paizo only, or can 3rd party be included? Because there are some 3rd party classes geared towards, or at least have builds geared towards natural attacks as well. Don't know if they'd be better than an Alchemist though.

Paizo wise, never played one but I'd think a Synthesist Summoner would have some legs to it.

The Synth summoner has my vote, you can take limbs arms and the two weapon fighting feat and then when the eidolon gains multi attack as an ability you can add all your natural attacks into your attack line as secondary attacks. With a full feat line at 16th level that's 6 two weapon fighting attacks + 6 natural attacks if you bought the evo's.


I love me some Feral hunters. of course if yo uwanna go some old school Barbarian with the right choices into Dragon Disciple you can eventually get insane stuff going. That build's been banned a few times in more than a few games haha.
