Can Tail Combat be used without the Tail Attack combat option?
Yes it can, these are two different thing. Tail Combat lets you use tail to fight (if your legs/arms are bonded for example), it's just there so players know they can use tail to attack.
Tail Attack Combat Option gives you another attack (with use of Unarmed skill or talent, that means you can use 2 times skill/talent that has Standard action - first for first attack and second time for second attack - thanks to Tail Attack combat option, but you suffer -2 penalty to all test that round).
If the player attacks with his tail using Tail Combat,
1 Does that take his standard action?
2 Does he suffer the penalties associated with Tail Attack?
3 Can two separate attacks be made with the same tail in the same round? One for Tail Combat and an additional one for using the Tail Attack Option?
4 The penalty says it applies to all tests that round.
Does this apply to the Unarmed Combat test itself?
5 Does the penalty apply to the damage test for the Tail Combat / Attack?
1 Yes, you must use Unarmed skill/talent (standard action).
2 If you use Tail Attack Combat Option (it applies to all tests that round).
3 Yes. Just like using same arm to attack twice.
4 & 5 It applies to all tests that round. All means all.
