Greater Beast Totem to all claws?

Beast Totem, Greater (Su): wrote:
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.

So if I'm an abyssal primalist bloodrager (claws from abyssal) with the beast totem line for pounce, would my abyssal claws get x3 crits?


Maybe, but who cares? You can get identical claws from the required prereqs to greater beast totem, aside from them not being naturally treated as magic, and I'm sure that by 12th level you have an amulet of mighty fists or similar.

I care because I plan on using all of my claws. Also at your-mentioned 12th level the abyssal claws are also flaming (without an amulet) and Rageshaper means the abyssal claws have a larger damage die than the beast shape claws.


what do you mean all of your claws?

That's not the question. The question is if my abyssal claws get the x3 crit.

I mean all of my claws if I rage and grow both of my abyssal claws and my bestial claws. Yes, I'm aware that a standard humanoid form can't do this. I'm also aware that there are many forms that can.


No, the rage power is on a chain so it only effects those claws. If you were somehow playing a four armed character, you only get the x3 crit on those two claws.
