Yes it has, and no they don't.

08-15-07, 04:36 PM In a few more words, the use of your EB is a standard action.

Even though a single attack is also a standard action, a high BAB lets lets you make additional attacks as part of a full-round action. But those iterative attacks are not themselves standard actions. A high BAB doesnt allow you to make additional standard actions.

So, no. No extra EBs.

I assume you are refering to the Arcane Fist ability which allows you to use touch spells as part of your unarmed attacks. Well even if that would allow you to cast multiple SPELLS per round (and I'm not entirely convinved that it does), EB is a spell-like ability, and not a spell. as such it is completely incompatable with the Arcane Fist ability (and all other abilities of the Enlighted Fist)

the only way to gain additional attacks with EB is to take Quicken Spell-like ability, and that only lets you use a quickened version 3 times per day. but various Blast Shapes can allow you to hit multiple targets at least.
