Xanesha Attacks


Rules Questions


Hi, I wanted to know if Xanesha (Lamia Matriarch) has multiple attacks without weapons (unarmed). I have read that with the weapon she have 3 attacks, or a touch attack. If you disarm her, could you only make a single touch attack? Thank you.


A Lamia Matriarch has +12 BAB, meaning when attacking with weapons or unarmed strikes she gets one attack at +12, one at +7, and one at +2 for three attacks total. Unarmed strikes are not natural attacks and do not use the rules for that.

However, her touch attack is not an unarmed strike, but a specific type of attack that is an alternative to her normal attacks. An unarmed strike would not gain the benefits of this, and would simply deal 1 point of wisdom drain on the first hit of any round as her regular attacks do.
