Q129
I'm having trouble with the feat Improved Rapidstrike. It's from the Draconomicon. The problem is the feat says:
"If you have a PAIR of natural weapons such as TWO claws, TWO wings or TWO slams, you can make two or more attacks with one of those weapons...."
But then it goes on to say:
"Creatures with multiple limbs qualify for this feat as well, so a creature with THREE arms and THREE claws attacks qualify for this feat as well."
So... First question: When you get the feat you have to choose if you're going to apply it to your bite attacks, claw attacks, etc... But do you have to choose it once for every pair you have? What if i gave these two feats to a 10-headed Hydra? Would the benefit be extended for all the heads?
The only example they give is a dragon, which only has a pair of claws/wings. But it says more limbs can qualify too.
I have to take this feat 4 times? Or i get it only once and the benefit extends to all my claws?
Secondly, it says "you can make two or more attacks with one of those weapons", so the iteratives only get applied to one of the claw attacks? You gain iteratives, anyway? Is this based off BAB? You gain more attacks based on the number of limbs? The feat is too poorly worded and i can't seem to find a consensus on the net. I thought the feat would grant you iteratives for both claws, like TWF does. It seems odd to have a routine that goes:
+15/10/5
+10
Especially when you have mirror feats for negating the penalties for fighting with more than one natural weapon on a full attack. (Multiattack, Improved Multiattack).
So, how to clarify this?
