Hey, there is a problem I have discovered while making monster races, there is no way to make a natural attack do half strength damage without making it secondary. There is the Helper.NatTwoHand for x 1.5 Str dam, but nothing for the x .5 version.

There is a need for this, mostly for rake attacks. For example, in the MM it says the Leopard has a rake attack at full attack bonus (+6 to hit) but only 1d3+1 damage (half the +3 Str mod). In HL the wRake is currently incorrectly bootstrapped as a secondary attack, meaning the damage is right but the attack bonus is only +1. See what I mean?

Could you make an appropriate tag for the next release?
 
I think I've been able to make new tags by applying the tag to an object in the past. Have you tried this? Going into one object and assigning a new tag. Then going into the other object after a recompile and reload of the profile, and try to select the new tag?
 
Won't help with the damage tags - those have to be added to a long if...elseif...endif list that tells HL what to do with them.
 
Is there a tag for making a natural weapon get multiple attacks for high BAB? Inevitable, Kolyarut has a slam attack at +11/+6

Are we sure that's not a mistake of some sort? Typically, natural attacks don't get extra attacks for high BAB, so I don't know why the Kolyarut would have a +11/+6 slam attack (2 +11 slam attacks would make more sense).


Edit: Weird

I figured out how to modify the array field to give that natural weapon iterative attacks.

I can't find that in the errata, and as far as I know specific trumps general. The Kolyarut also has multiple attacks with it's Vampiric Touch ability, so I think it might just be a racial thing.
