So, the beastmaster uses unarmed strikes now. This seems a bit odd to me. Especially with the monk still having animal style martial arts.
So I was wondering what was thought of taking Feral Combat Style (calling it Feral Strike) and making it a natural attack instead of an unarmed strike. A sort of, non-specific natural weapon. Similar to how the monk can use any part of his body to make unarmed strikes, the beastmaster would be able to use any part of his body to emulate a natural weapon. Some might even grow natural weapons themselves. Regardless of the method, it would act the same; one feral strike a turn, which would always deal the same damage but the damage type could be chosen at the time of the attack. Add a few Rage Powers that gave animalistic abilities (Grab, Trip, Constrict, Poison, etc) and maybe one to let you use a second Feral Strike and using it as a secondary natural attack. Is this a workable idea?
