BAB of monster with class levels.

[TabulaRasa]

I'm confused about how to figure out how many attacks a monster with class levels gets.
The example
A Troll 6HD giant plus 2 levels of barbarian. The Bab from the giant classes is +4 and from two levels of barbarian is +2. Total of +6 granting a extra attack. But the troll already have 2 claw plus 1 bite attack.
How many attacks will the troll have?
Will it be +6/+1 if he use a weapon and +6 claw +1 bite if he use his natural attack?
Can he use the bite attack if he use a weapon?

I have SS but cant find the answer there.

My understanding is, as you mention, that the character either chooses to use his natural attack progression, or his multiple attacks based on BAB.

So he can fight as any troll does (claw, claw, bite), or he can fight at +6/+1 using a weapon of his choice.

Anyone know of any rules on mixing natural attacks with weapons?

Natural weapons do not get iterative attacks (Elementals using Slam attacks, and monks, are an exception).

Otherwise the Tarrasque would have many extra attacks.

Normally, you only get extra iterative attacks if you are using a "manufactured weapon" such as a club or sword.

If your primary natural attack form is replaced with a weapon, you can still use your secondary natural weapon attacks as normal.
