Any way for a PC to get Rake?

[claudekennilol]

I'm wondering if it's possible to get Rake for my Primalist Bloodrager with the beast totems, is it?

4 levels of druid with shaping focus. Turn into a leopard, tiger, lion, dire tiger, or allosaurus.

I think it's possible through synthesist summoner as well, but I never bothered to familiarize myself with summoners enough to know how many levels it would take.

Cast Beast Form III or IV. Turn into a leopard, tiger, lion, dire tiger, allosaurus, or any number of magical beasts I'm not familiar with because I've always been looking for polymorph forms from the druid angle.

I don't think there are any other ways to get rake.

the synthesist rake is a slightly different form and is IMO superior (two claw attacks when you make grapple check, so can rake when don't start the round grappled).

If you want the monster ability rake, 1) somehow change into a beast with rake (levels in druid, beast form scrolls, lycanthropy, etc) or 2) talk your GM into letting you use the 3.5 Boots of the Raptor.

That said, what you really want is the final embrace feat line for a constrict attack, constrict can be obtained by the anaconda's coils belt.

If my memory serves, Rake is a level 5 evolution. Maybe 5. I could be mixing it up with Rend. I would suggest abandoning Bloodrager if you did this, since the Eidolon's BAB (including yourself in Synthesist) is based entirely on Summoner level.

But others above gave pretty good advice.
