Tengu Claws and Beast Totem chain.


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

The ARG allows a Tengu character to constantly wield two natural claw attacks that deal 1d4 points of damage.
The Barbarian rage power 'Lesser Beast Totem' gives a barbarian two 1d6 claw attacks (On the understanding that they are a core race with no natural claw attacks while they are raging). The Barbarian rage power 'Greater Beast Totem' increases this damage to 1d8 and a higher critical hit damage multiplier.
Does a Tengu barbarian with normal 1d4 damage claws upgrade their claw damage from 1d4, to 1d6 (with lesser) and then 1d8 X3 (with greater) as a constant effect? Or does the damage die for their claws only increase if the Tengu character is raging?

Would like some guidance. Or I'll claw yer eyes out.

Beast Totem Chain:
Beast Totem (Su): While raging, the barbarian gains a +1 natural armor bonus. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the barbarian has attained. A barbarian must have the lesser beast totem rage power to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at least 6th level to select this rage power.

Beast Totem, Greater (Su): While raging, the barbarian gains the pounce special ability, allowing her to make a full attack at the end of a charge. In addition, the damage from her claws increases to 1d8 (1d6 if Small) and the claws deal ×3 damage on a critical hit. A barbarian must have the beast totem rage power to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at least 10th level to select this rage power.

Beast Totem, Lesser (Su): While raging, the barbarian gains two claw attacks. These attacks are considered primary attacks and are made at the barbarian's full base attack bonus. The claws deal 1d6 points of slashing damage (1d4 if Small) plus the barbarian's Strength modifier.


Only while raging is the upgrade in effect. I have been looking at Tengus myself latly. I think they are the easiest race to put three natural attacks on and I am contemplating a natural weapon ninja.
