Dragon Style / Fecority and Natural Attacks.

[SorrySleeping]

Both are assuming to have Feral Weapon Training.

1) As a catfolk, using only claws in a full attack action, one claw gains 2x str and the other gains 1.5x str, right?
2) a war cat animal companion (I believe is paizo content ) the bite gets 2x, but do the 2 claws get 1.5x or 1x str?
3) what happens with the two rake attacks? 1.5x or 1x str?

Feral Combat Training allows you to select one of your natural weapons. That does not allow you to select »claws« but a single claw in particular.

No, because only one claw gains the benefit of Feral Combat Training and thus benefits from Dragon Style and Dragon Ferocity. One claw gains 2x Str, the other is still 1x Str.

I don't know how you get all these feats to your animal companion (and yes, the Warcat appears to be from a Paizo splat book) but if you did, the bite would be 2x and the claws 1x Str (assuming you apply Feral Combat Training to the bite).

Since the claws are unaffected by all these feats, the rake attacks are too. If you applied Feral Combat Training to one of the claws I suppose something could happen with the rake too, but I don't know.

depends on what your trying to do if its in a flurry i would rule 1st attack at x2 and rest at x1.5 but for normal attacks it would only be with the natural attack you have weapon focus with so if you choose bite, your bite would be at x2 but none of your other attacks are at 1.5, however if you chose claws and you had more than one claw attack i would rule x2 for each claw as each natural attack is the 1st attack it gets in a round each round

[SorrySleeping]

I missed that heavily choose one natural attack.

Also making a 9th level character, animal companion has 5 feats. Weapon focus, feral weapon training, improved unarmed strike, dragon style, stunning fist, with dragon ferocity to come later.

Wanted to know how well this would work before going through with it.

By that reading Weapon Focus (longsword) would only apply to a single longsword, not to all longswords. The language is identical. So, I doubt that your interpretation is the correct one.

The Feral Combat Training FAQ uses natural weapon and natural attack interchangeably. Selecting claws should affect both sets of claws.
