Worm that walks and multiple natural attacks.

[clff rice]

So im wondering the worm that walks template states...

"A worm that walks loses any natural attacks the base creature had, but gains a slam attack that deals damage based on its size. This slam has the grab ability and affects creatures up to one size larger than the worm that walks. A worm that walks retains any weapon proficiencies the base creature had."

Does this mean each natural attack is replaced with a different slam? Or do they get just the one slam?

[Cwethan]

Just one. The language would have to be something along the lines of "Loses any natural attacks the base creature had, but replaces each of them with a slam attack..."

thats what i was afraid of. Oh well kinda makes the template worthless for a spellcasting critter that has lots of natural attacks like a dragon.
Thanks Cwethan.

Nah, it's still a great template, it's really trading natural attacks for swarm traits.

[clff rice]

True and nothing stopping him from full attacking with his slam anyway.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Well, you don't get iterative attacks with a natural attack, so while what you say is technically correct, a full attack with a single slam only attacks once.

[Imbicatus]

Besides, dragons are big, and a grapple from a worm that walks is not good. One slam + the grab and most things are done for.

runs off to herolab to start applying template to many critters for his book 6 of Wrath of Righteous game.
