[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6359857, member: 57383"] [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#naturalWeapons"][B]Natural weapons[/B][/URL] like slams are normally incapable of making iterative attacks, so even a high-level vampire fighter can only make 1 slam per attack action. A vampire can usually only make more than one slam per attack if its base creature already had multiple natural weapon slam attacks. A high-level vampire monk can make multiple unarmed attacks per round when full attacking, but these are unarmed strikes, not slam attacks. Vampires can make an energy drain attack with any natural weapon they possess, which includes unarmed strikes, but they can only energy drain once per round. Thus a vampire monk that hits four different targets using flurry of blows can only use energy drain on one of its hits (presumably the first one). A vampire can make its energy draining slam as a secondary attack, so it could make a iterative attack with a weapon as well as an energy draining slam (or another natural weapon if it has one) as a full round action. Note that it needs a free hand to make a secondary slam attack, so the sample Greater Vampire Prince is unable to use this tactic with its spiked chain, as it's a two handed weapon. [/QUOTE]
