Hey, everyone. I've got a couple questions about Natural Attacks.
Let's say you're using an Awakened Animal that normally gets 2 claw attacks. Let's say you give it a few levels of Fighter, and it takes Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, and Improved Disarm.
Could it, on a Full Attack action, attack with one claw and try to Disarm with the other? Could it Disarm with one and Trip with the other? Do they each count as iterative attacks for purposes of feats and abilities that take up an attack action?
Now for my second question: This one requires a bit of imagination. Let's say a creature somehow has a Ranged Natural Attack. (For example, there's a spell in Savage Species that allows a creature to use one of its natural attacks as a ranged attack up to 30 feat away. Let's say you're playing Troll with that spell permanently on. He'd then have 2 claws, each with a range of 30 feet.) Could you, theoretically, combine these natural attacks with Rapid Shot? I suppose a better comparison would be to ask if a creature with a Claw attack could take Two-Weapon Fighting and get two attacks. Would anything like this be possible?
Basically, here's the deal: I'm playing an Eberron Artificer in a campaign, and I'm working with the DM to make a new type of Nimblewright. (As you know, Nimblewrights have natural weapons- 2 Rapier-Hands. These follow all of the rules of Natural Weapons, as far as I know.) My character uses a Pistol- taken from a recent issue of Dragon- and we got the idea to make a Nimblewright that uses two pistols (or possibly revolvers) instead of two rapiers. Basically, we're re-working the Nimblewright a bit, changing its feats, and so on. So I was wondering what feats to give him. Spring Attack is out, as is Combat Reflexes (as he won't be making any melee attacks, or attacks of opportunity, in the near future). I thought of the Ranged Disarm feat from Complete Warrior, but I wanted to know if he could possibly get some sort of a benefit from Rapid Shot. If not, that's fine, but I just wanted to know if there was anything in the rules saying that it was possible.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
