Hey there all, I'm going to be running my first campaign as a DM and I have a question about the listings of monster's attacks. Here's what I'm troubled about, multiple attacks and such.
Take the Gargoyle for instance (MM1 page 94)
It's attacks are listed as: 2 claws +6 melee, bite +4 melee, gore +4 melee.
So it's first attack is 2 claws at +6 melee? So it can move it's movement and make it's first attack of "2 claws". If it did a full attack it would have 2 claws +6 melee, then it's remaining attacks are at -5, UNLESS it has Multi-attack feat, which the Gargoyle does so that lowers the penalty to -2, so I take it that is already represented by "bite +4 melee, gore +4 melee", those attacks are -2 from the primary.
So I understand that correctly, yes?
Here's the MAIN question I have, it's first attack. It's first attack says "2 claws +6 melee". Do I make ONE roll that represents it making an attack that comprises of 2 claws, and will only do a claw 1d4 dmg. OR, do I make TWO different claw attack rolls for it's "one primary attack" that if BOTH hit would do 2d4 dmg....?
Help!
