Natural Weapons and Gloves


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Ok, I play a character who uses natural weapons for claw attacks, Can I wear magical gloves, particularly gloves of arrow snatching? Now typically I would ask this question to my GM. Due to the nature of PFS I know GM's think differently about such things, so what I seek is a definitive answer to this question for PFS. I think I have hand slots and should be able to wear them, and I do not see any RAW that forbids claw attacks while wearing gloves. In a home campaign most GMs would say not a pair I found but a pair that has been custom made to allow for my claws would be acceptable. But with RAW nothing states that I can find that you cannot do this. I just don't want to get to gen con and have someone make my character gimped because of this issue.

Assuming, they are Still hands, and you don't get you claw hands from changing into an animal that does not have Humanoid hands, I don't see a problem with it.

Yeah, I see no reason they shouldn't still function with tiny holes in the fingertips.

wouldn't be a problem for me... but I am more of a pessimist than Jiggy & Dragnmoon.

That said - mention it to your Judge before the session starts (if you can) and I'd suggest putting it on your table tent too...something like "white sequined gloves with slits for my claws" on your character discription.

maybe even talk to the arcane caster at the table (where everyone can hear) to see if he has Prestidigitation "to remove the blood stains from my magic gloves after a fight". Build it into the Fluff of your character and everyone will "know" it and not be surprised"

Oh! and good luck!
