Can you use a Lizardfolks Razor Claws with a Monks FoB?


Yes, unless you are using a Stance attack, in which case you use that stances attack. While you can still "use" the razor claws for stance attacks, the stats of the stance attack override the razor claws.

At least that is how I understand it to work.

That could be accurate, depending on the stance.

Some stances, like mountain or crane, only allow you to make the stance attack. In that case, Razor Claws do nothing because they do not affect the stance attack.

Other stances, like dragon or tiger, give you the option of a stance specific attack, but still leave you able to make the other unarmed attacks that you had before entering the stance. Again, your Razor Claws have no effect on the stance attack, but you could flurry with claw strikes instead of using the stance attack, if you want, which could be handy if you're in dragon stance but find that an enemy resists bludgeoning damage, and needs to be slashed, for example.

Also the claw attacks are agile. I do this with my Iruxi monk, Dragon kick and claw attack with FoB and more claw attacks as needed or move\grapple. Gives you all the physical damage types, and keeps your chance to hit successive attacks a bit higher in exchange for damage.
