D&D 3E/3.5 Newbie druid question (3.5)

[0-hr]

If I am a 9th level druid and I wildshape into a brown bear, what is my attack sequence:

A normal bear is claw, claw bite.

A normal druid is attack, iterative attack.

My guess is that I still do attack and iterative, but I use a claw or a bite as the weapons for either - meaning I could "bite, bite" if I wanted (with the second bite at -5 to hit compared to the first).

Is that correct?

You get the brown bear's bite, claw, claw attack routine, but use your own BAB.

 

[Moon-Lancer]

you also loose any ittrative attacks

 

[SteelDraco]

The key to note here is that natural weapons don't get iterative attacks. Thus, regardless of BAB, a druid in bear form is only going to get claw/claw/bite.

Oh ok. Glad I asked.

 

[boolean]

The key to note here is that natural weapons don't get iterative attacks. Thus, regardless of BAB, a druid in bear form is only going to get claw/claw/bite.

Unless the bear is somehow using manufactured weapons.

Unless the bear is somehow using manufactured weapons.

Such as.... uhhh... mouth darts?

I think if you had Improved Unarmed Strike, you could do iterative unarmed attacks followed by your natural attacks. Given a BAB of +6, your sequence would be:
+6 unarmed
+1 unarmed
+1 claw
+1 claw
+1 bite

Hope this helps!

I think if you had Improved Unarmed Strike, you could do iterative unarmed attacks followed by your natural attacks.

Why does IUS make a difference? If you allowed unarmed strikes + natural attacks as a bear, I don't see why it would have to be improved.

I think the only difference having IUS would make is dealing lethal damage and not provoking attacks of opportunity.
