Natural Attacks, Manufactured Weapons


Advice


So planning a Ragebred Mammoth Rider Barbarian, using a RAGELANCEPOUNCE battle style. I'm currently working on the planning stages, but a question concerning natural attacks and manufactured attacks in tandem has arisen.

I know that Primary Attacks are made at full attack bonus with full strength, and Secondary Attacks made at -5 attack and 1/2 strength, and they don't get iterative attacks. I've heard that when a manufactured weapon is mixed with primary attacks, they become secondary.

For example, at level 12 before all magic item bonuses he would have:

Attack Bonus: +22 (When charging)
-Gore, Base Primary*
-Claw, Base Primary*
-Hoof, Base Secondary*
-Hoof, Base Secondary*
-Possible Bite Attack, -5 When used during Full-Attack
-Lance Attack 1
-Lance Attack 2(-5)
-Lance Attack 3(-10)

(*not explicitly mentioned as Primary/Secondary, but hoof attacks are listed as secondary under Universal Monster Rules)

My questions are:

1)Does a secondary natural attack become further reduced?
2)Which attacks from above are at full, and which are at half Str/Reduced Attack?
3)Do you need to have three+ natural attacks continually in order to qualify for MultiAttack, or can you get the feat if you get them from class/race features under certain circumstances (rage/an unlimited duration racial power, respectively)?


1) No
2) All natural attacks are secondary when combined with weapon attacks.
3) Not sure. My opinion is class features qualify.


3. Yes in my opinion unless you can have them almost any time you want, similar to a druid.


Also remember that noly the first attack gets the lance multiplier, but the rest are still considered charge attacks.

Hm, does spirited charge apply to later attacks?
