Abyssal Blood,,lesser (New "Blood" rage power) and beast totem, lesser= 4 claw attacks?


Rules Questions


I was wondering if a barbarian took both beast totem lesser and Abysal Blood lesser if they would get 4 claw attacks? I am not sure how multiple sources for natural attacks stack together like that...


No. The creature maxes out at a claw per limb, so you'd need 4 arms to get 4 claws. The next question people ask is "what about feet?" In pathfinder, the general rule is that claws on feet are called talons. You can do 2 claws and 2 talons on a normal, bipedal creature, but the ability needs to say talons for that to work.


Can't do it mainly for balance reasons, which is why. we limit pcs natural attacks by gating polymorph rules and... Oh yeah summoners :( nevermind

What book is that statement from? Last I checked animals had claws on feet (even things like eagles have claw attacks, not talon attacks).


It's from a FAQ. Here's the link. Claws on feet only come into play during a rake, usually.

Cheers for that link. Seems rather silly since I havent seen anything granting "talons" and makes a lot of these "gain X claw attacks" abilities pointless.


If you were somehow playing a Kasatha or Trox then it would work I believe. Or possibly Vestigial Arms, though that's a can of worms on its own.
