So, I think your riding dog would not gain additional attacks. However there is still the issue of awakened animals. If the above is true, then I would say that it could choose each round whether to attack with its normal attack routine or just its primary attack a number of times based on its BAB.  Personally, I think an awakened animal should be re-written from the ground up. Just re-write it as if it were an intelligent magical beast with the appropriate number of HD. Its not like a creature adding a class, it is a complete magical redefinement of what the creature is.Anyway, I hope 3.5 will clear this up. It sounds like Savage Species and MM 3.5 are supposed to be a lot clearer on things like this. Heck, maybe the awaken spell will get a more detailed treatment in PHB 3.5.I guess we'll see...</blockquote>
