[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 2972482, member: 11586"] That is why it is much better with Power Attack + Leap Attack... I did a little research, and I agree with you regarding the Girallon Arms and them being secondary attacks at -5. But I don't think this is true with the Chimera Mask. For example, the Threefold Mask of the Chimera (when bound to the totem chakra) has the following attack options: 1) As a Standard Action, you may attack with any ONE of the heads, add full Str damage. 2) As a Full-Attack Action, you may attack with all three heads and apply full Str damage to all of the attacks. 3) As part of Full-Attack, you can make a secondary attack with one head at -5 to hit, and dealing half Str damage. (Note that #2 does not state any of the attacks are "secondary" and they all grant full Str damage w/ further suggest that none of them are "secondary"). Now combine this with Sphinx Claws, which states: [i]When you use the charge action, at the end of your charge you can make a full attack using any natural weapons you possess.[/i] I guess the question is, if you attack with the Chimera Mask, are you using it as a full-attack action, or part of a full-attack action (ie part of the charge). I can see it both ways, only because charge doesn't normally allow a full-attack action at the end, and it is it's own full-round action to begin with. Also, you aren't just attacking with only 1 head (option 3 above), you are attacking with all 3 of them (option 2 above). Oh well, a few levels of Sorcerer and some Wraithstrike, and we'll be fine ;) [/QUOTE]
