[QUOTE="eamon, post: 3784977, member: 51942"] I would not allow it. A slam attack uses a free appendage, and the warforged only has two of those: his arms. All monster entries I know do not slam attacks when your hands are occupied with normal weapons. Further the section on natural attacks sugggests [i]"The number of attacks a creature can make with its natural weapons depends on the type of the attack—generally, a creature can make one bite attack, one attack per claw or tentacle, one gore attack, one sting attack, or one slam attack (although [b]Large creatures with arms or arm-like limbs can make a slam attack with each arm[/b])."[/i] Which can really only be interpreted to mean that large creatures can "slam" with [b]both arms[/b], and medium or smaller with [b]one arm[/b] per round. Unless the creature description explicitly says it slams with something other than its arms and can wield weapons, it can't. There isn't a counterexample I'm aware of, it's common sense, and it matches the description of natural attacks: [i]You can't slam without a free arm.[/i] [/QUOTE]
