It deals 4d6+18 damage to the opponent's armor.... etcIt's a extra ordinary ability.The Bebilith has 3 attacks, 2 claws and a bite.* My reasoning is this:If both claws hit (thus roll high enough to hit the opponent) it does normal damage to it's opponent. Both his claws passed by his opponent's armor, when the Bebilith pulls his claws back, it tries to pull off any armor worn by its opponent and thus does damage to the armor. (if the hardness doesn't stop the damage) Extraordinary abilities are usually free actions since they happen in a reactive fashion. (like the uncanny dodge ability)* My player's reasoning is this:The Bebilith's rend armor is a equivalent of a standard action, thus an attack. The same counts for doing damage. It can not do both damage AND try to rip apart the armor. The fact that it is a extraordinary ability is only important for spell resistance and other things like it.</blockquote>
