[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 8455199, member: 55816"] If you got 4 attacks, it should say you get two bites and two tail attacks explicitly, or else it is [I]very[/I] poorly written. Further more, making the T-Rex Bite-tail one target, then bite-tail another seems like an odd restriction. If it gets four attacks, there kind of isn't a reason to put restrictions on who it targets. I think its supposed to mean, you bite and tail smack, but can't hit the same person twice. But you are correct in saying it is poorly written for that meaning as well. You can logic that given its size and anatomy a T-rex would have a hard time biting someone the same turn they hit it with its tail, and so I can see why it would be a rule, but the wording sure could be a little tighter. It seems like this is a "teeth and tails are on opposite sides of a T-Rex, so they can't hit the same person in one turn" bit of logic that is absolutely ambiguously written, not at "T-Rex will bite a person, then hit that same person with their tail, then bite a second different person and then hit the second with their tail."
