Ok, this came up in <redacted> but I was wondering.

Bearded Devil gives a beard hug on both claws hitting. What about under the effects of haste?

I'm reading it as (for simplicity) right claw, left claw, hasted right claw. So to give a beard hug, you need to hit with attacks 1 & 2 or 2 & 3, not 1 & 3.

Anyone think as I do?

Does it specify "both claws" or "two claw attacks"?


Haste only works with weapons. But in the case of a buff like blessing of fervor, I agree with your interpretation.

@Erikkerik: Haste was errata'd at some point to affect one natural or manufactured weapon, so a Claw attack is fair game.

@Matthew Morris: Since the wording of the ability says "both" claws, I'd say both the right and left claw need to hit. That said, I don't think there's anything to stop you from waiting to choose whether the extra attack from haste is with the right or left Claw until after the normal attacks have been made. In that case, if either Claw missed, you can assume that the extra attack is made with that Claw, effectively making it so that if at least 2 of the 3 Claws hit, you can make use of the Beard ability.
