What is the point of Nails?


Witch Playtest


Aside from scratchimg your hindside.

In all seriousness, though, the fourth level witch Feat reads:

"You can etch your claws with runes with the same cost and restrictions as etching runes onto handwraps of mighty blows; runes etched onto your claws apply to both hands but not to other unarmed attacks."

My question is, what is the point?

As far as I understood Handwraps of Mighty Blows, runes scratched into them affect any unarmed attack, including the Goblin Bite, Feral Claws, Lizard's Tail and any roundhouse kick a monk might do, so it would stand to reason they would also affect the witches claws.

I do get the flavor choice of etching runes on your Nails, but I have a hard time understanding Why it won't be allowed to transfer to a Dragon kick for a Witch/Monk multiclass?

... or maybe I misunderstood Handwraps in the first place, in which case I would love to be corrected.
