I have a question about the natural weapons a dragon has.


Rules Questions


So an adult white dragon has a bite and 2 claws, both of which are listed as primary attacks, 2 wings and a tail slap, both of which are listed as a secondary attack. If I give the critter mutiattack. How does this work? In a Full attack do I get to use all of them or is it still in piecemeal? Also is is there a way to attack lots of people at once?

This matters because this dragon is not going to be able to fly very much.

Thank you in advance

the dragon when doing a standard attack with or without multiattack you pick one weapon to attack with.

without multiattack your full attacks look like bite (full bab and str damage), 2 claws (full bab and str damage), 2 wings (-5 bab and half str damage), tail (-5 bab and half str damage)

With multiattack your full attacks look like bite (full bab and str damage), 2 claws (full bab and str damage), 2 wings (-2 bab and half str damage), tail (-2 bab and half str damage)

each attack can be made at anyone in range, so with your 6 attacks you could attack 6 different people with one attack each.

^this^ mostly however since we are talking about a dragon, dragons always get 1.5x str to damage on bite and tail attacks regardless of them being primary or secondary attacks


Brilliant! I thought it worked like that but I wanted to be sure.

Thank you both!
