Claws and Feet

[wolfen]

Ok so I have gone to many of the other threads regarding this question and I have read nothing but speculation. This is not a discussion about if something is broken or not just a yes or no with written rules or proof.

If I take a Tengu Barbarian, with the Claw Attack alternate racial trait and lesser beast totem, could he not use them on his "feet"? It specifically states that he grows a pair of claws. It does not specify where , and I have found no rules in any book stating no.

Again yes or no with written rules or proof (Faqs allowed).

JJacobs stated that claws go on hands; Talons go on feet. The Eidolon is a special exception, where it specifically states the claws can go on feet.

Then what about creatures like the eagle which states that it has claws and not talons? Does flying negate this rule?

Typo?

[wolfen]

Giant eagle. My bad.

[wolfen]

Possibly but then why are there a thousand methods to gaining claws but none for talons. Anatomically speaking they are practically identical (as a talon is defined as a sharp claw of an animal), and the debate of how would you fight with them is no different then how a dinosaur or martial artist with blade boots would.

As a thought, usually if you have claws on your feet that you are attacking with, say like a lion.

You have to pounce and rake.

They don't give you 4 claw attacks.
