Weretiger + Monk: How does attacking work?

Halivar

First Post
I'm using the WT progression from Dragon #313 and building a monk on it.

At level 1, the WT gets an "attack routine" of 2 claws and a bite. The MM states that characters with "manufactured" weapons may follow up their normal attacks with "one or more" of their natural attacks, but with the standard -5 for being a secondary attack.

Question #1: Does a monk's unarmed attack count as a manufactured weapon?
Question #2: If it does, does that mean I can make all monk attacks (including flurry of blows) and then make all natural attacks at a -5?
Question #3: If it does not, or if I cannot get umpteen-million attacks, how many do I get? If an 8th level monk get a +6/+1 BAB +4 from the weretiger, does this mean I get 1 extra claw attack, or 2? Or, do I get 2 extra claw attacks and and extra bite?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I can't believe I posted this to House Rules. I meant to post in D&D Rules. Doh!

Question #1: Answer is yes, according to definition of unarmed strike.

Does that mean I get 2 punches (unarmed strike is specified to be a punch), then 2 claws then a bite?

The way I'd handle it is surprisingly logical. If the appendage making the attack has already attacked (a claw holding a sword, say), then it is done for the round. It's been busy attacking with the sword, so it doesn't get the claw. You could use the other claw and the bite, though.
 

IIRC, you have the choice of going claw/claw/bite, or taking your iterative attacks. In the second case, you can flurry, and potentially sub in claw damage for normal unarmed damage. Not sure about the first case.
