So I never noticed this guy until I saw it in the archetype hall of fame. I started thinkin, is this guy really that bad?
Grab Ghoul Bloodline, get Eldritch heritage abyssal for str buff, then stack on some polymorph spells and I cam see this getting nasty. Since eldritch scrapper lets to regrab the 1st level ghoul power for claws with Paralysis it could get mean. Turn into an Tiger (early level) with paralysis claws? Or later on, an elemental or dragon with paralysis claws and stupid high Str? You can actually have pretty decent AC with high dex and Spells and Nat Armor from things like Dragon Shape. You can skimp a little on str by depending on Items, polymorphing, and abyssal inherent bonus and get dex high and grab weapon finesse to keep to hit decent and AC better.
