Hello, I'm trying to make a natural attack based character and I've come to a few snags, as I am not clear on whether or not some abilities will work as I intend them to.
Race
Skinwalker: Witchwolf
Classes
level 1 Witch: White-Haired Archetype
level 14 Fighter: Savage Warrior Archetype
level 5 Duelist: Prestige Class
Question 1: When doing a full round attack, can I use Precise Strike from the Duelist prestige class on all of my attacks that deal piercing damage?
Question 2: With Feral Combat Training and Hamatulatsu, can I make my claw attacks from my racial Change Shape ability deal piercing damage for the purpose of Precise Strike from the Duelist prestige class?
Question 3: What type of damage does the White Hair ability from the Witch archetype: White-Haired Witch deal?
1) I think the intent is not, and the rules refer to 'a' light or one-handed piercing weapon. That said there's enough wiggle room that you might get your GM to agree.
2) Yes.
3) Unclear, but usually assumed to be bludgeoning as it constricts in a grapple.
On top of piercing, I think you would need to get your natural weapon to be treated as a manufactured weapon for precise strike to work.
Well, in the rules it does say that Natural Weapons are treated as Light Weapons, so as long as the Natural Weapon deals piercing damage, I would assume it would work for Precise Strike.
Also, I wasn't sure if by having Claw attacks, if it would deny Precise Strike in a full round attack because "a duelist cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand"
As for the White Hair attack, in Natural Attacks rules, it says that others have B, P or S. Does that mean it should be specified in the attack or that it can deal either one?
