Synthesist Summoner and Attacks

[Mark Montgomery 980]

Ok so I made a 2nd level half elf synthesist summoner.

I have 2 claw attacks, 1 bite as a Quadreped. I have pounce.

I gave it Limbs (arms) then armed the Elven Curved blade.

So in a pounce do I get to claw, claw, bite and then swing the sword?

What are the negatives?

Thanks for any info!

Yes, you do blade, then claw/claw/bite

The sword hits at your normal attack bonus and strength x1.5. The natural attacks hit at bonus-5 and strength x.5

Is there a way/feat/ability that would reduce those penalties for my natural attacks?

The Multiattack feat will knock it down to a -2. There's no way to remove the Strength loss short of not using the sword.

Not using your sword would go a long way.

I wanted a cat centaur hybrid kinda creature that I would wrap myself in. But at 2nd level I dont get more attacks, so my hands would be kinda dangling as I bit and clawed.

Thanks for all the information.

Just to be clear, you have 6 limbs; 2 arms and 4 legs.

With that assumption you get your curve blade attacks at regular BAB, including iteratives. You then get your claw/claw/bite at -5 and .5 Str on damage.

Yes! According to the description of the Quadraped I have 4 legs right off the bat (Limbs Legs, Limbs Legs). I then took an evolution to give me two arms. Since Im INSIDE and melded with my Eidelon I can use my proficiencies in weapons with its strength.

And Eidelons get multiattack, so all my natural attacks will be at -2 and my main blade will be at BAB.

The Eidolon doesn't get Multiattack until 9th. At 2nd level, the naturals are all at -5.

And as a Synthesist, you actually don't get Multiattack:

Quote:

The eidolon has no skills or feats of its own

Eidolons get it as a bonus feat.
