Argh Multiple Attacks for Monsters Question

[Maitre Du Donjon]

A skeleton has this attack entry: "2 claws +0 melee"

Am I correct in assuming that if the skeleton moves, he can only attack with 1 claw?

I checked the FAQ and couldn't find an appropriate answer. Thanks in advance.

That is correct. If you move, you only get one attack no matter what. Exceptions being Cleave and Attacks of Opportunity.

Thanks. Is there an official writing on this?

We had a discussion regarding this, and the opposite point of view was that the skeleton's claw attacks were simultaneous and thus could be both made during a standard action.

MM 3.0 p. 7, under Attacks, clearly states that a creature which uses an attack action rather than a full attack action gets only one attack.
