standard claw length

Post by Zydana »

I know there are player races that are capable of using claws and I'm told that some potions even allow players to use claws but no where do I see a standard length for claws.

Is the PC standard length of claws the same as the NPC standard length for claws?

What is the length?

Can we have it added to the FAQ? (or sometime down the road, the rulebook?)

One of the PC's I know of (me) that uses claws continuously, does so only for effect. I use the standard fist dimentions (tiny weapon) for mine. Other racial disaplines may call for specific sizes for themselves. As for the potions, I suppose that would depend on the potion researched, but they would both (race and potions) still probably follow the standard sizes for the game (tiny, short, long, etc)

Yeah claw length is in the potions or races descriptions. As there is no way to have claws without it being one of those there is really no need for a standard claw size. And for NPC's, whatever size the GM's want for claws is what they are.

I still think that fist and claws were made too long.

The problem is anything below 18" is getting a little damgerous and people start punching instead of hitting with fist. It is a very different style of fighting than using a short sword. A style which i failed when I fist tried short claws.

I've been offering to do a GM approved fighting course for years because people use fists and daggers wrong all the time. I don't think it should go as far as KANAR where you have to test for each fighting style but everyone should have the option to learn how to use weapons correctly. And some people should be made to learn how to use weapons correctly if they are seen using them in a dangerous fashion.
