Natural weapons question


Advice


Can you conceal/hide natural weapons using Sleight of Hand? Even when using the Rogue talent Deft Palm? If it matters referring to catfolk natural weapons.

If neither of these work, does anyone know of a way to do it?

Many thanks in advance.


Natural weapons in general? I would say no, but I don't think the rules cover this. Can you hide a pair of horns capable of a gore attack? No. Could a dragon use sleight of hand to hide its tail/wings/teeth/claws? No. Could a catfolk hide retractable claws in its paw? Maybe. Does the person making the perception check know that cats have claws? Probably.
It's all up to the GM. I would just put some cute mittens on. People will be so busy laughing, they won't notice that you're killing people.


Gloves could do it.

I personally would probably just allow you to make the SoH check, depending on how you fluffed the claws. Back in high school I used to write test answers on my finger tips because I could hide them no matter what side of my hands people were looking at; I don't think hiding some wicked nails would be much different for someone skilled. Circumstance bonus/penalties may apply.

By RAW, I think you need the Deft Palm because SoH has a strong implication that you are stashing hidden items in or beneath something else.


Thank you both for your answers. Some good ideas, and information.
