TWF with Quarterstaff + non-hand natural weapons


Rules Questions


If I'm playing a PC with natural weapons that don't rely on hands (such as hooves, or a tail slap), how does this interact with the Two-Weapon Fighting line of feats on a full attack?

Say I have a quarterstaff and Greater Two Weapon Fighting, and 2 wing buffet attacks at full BAB. Would I be able to utilize the quarterstaff for the 7 attacks (4 BAB + 3 offhand), followed up with 2 wing attacks at (BAB - 5)?

I recall this being true, but then again last I saw Paizo fiddled and retooled TWF rules a LOT with errata and FAQs. Searched both google and the forums themselves, didn't find anything. Perhaps my google-fu is weak.

Thanks for your time.


Yes, it still works that way.

Natural Attacks: ...

You can make attacks with natural weapons in combination with attacks made with a melee weapon and unarmed strikes, so long as a different limb is used for each attack. For example, you cannot make a claw attack and also use that hand to make attacks with a longsword. When you make additional attacks in this way, all of your natural attacks are treated as secondary natural attacks, using your base attack bonus minus 5 and adding only 1/2 of your Strength modifier on damage rolls. Feats such as Two-Weapon Fighting and Multiattack can reduce these penalties.


natural weapons don't care about what sort of armed full attack you use your hands for.

Unless you use the same hand for the weapon.

You can't make a claw attack and use a weapon with the same hand, but you can bite, use talons, tail, wings, horns and whatever other attack you can get.
