09-24-06, 08:16 PM WTF? Why the hell does it need a "manufactured weapon"?

09-24-06, 08:19 PM With a level 12 master and the familiar using the BAB of the master, I would think it could get multiple attacks in a round using its natural weapons and a full attack action.

09-24-06, 10:56 PM Why, in the Monster Manual, of all places! In the Glossary section, under Natural Weapons page 312:

Creatures do not recieve additional attacks from a high base attack when using natural weapons.

Just imagine, the rules regarding natural weapons being exactly where they should be!
