Hmm... I think the Cha score should be around 14ish on both types of deathclaw, they're pretty intimidating

Go for the Eyes!!!!

DeathClaws ... coooooool

I was thinking more con, DR (ala barbarian 5/-), Nat armor, fast healing, or regen ... something to make they extremely tough to kill.

stats: yeah I agree with the " cha" comment, they definitely had a force of personality.

would you consider doing different sizes/HD? (just thinking with my fingers over here ... the baby deathclaws?)

If claws are going to be the sole attk, give the dmg +1.5 str bonus.

Intelligent Death Claw: (had a thought, but human avg is probably fine ...)

Minor Changes

I made some minor changes to the deathclaw (Beast). I gave it fast healing for now. Also, I've upped the Cha to 14.

I've been thinking (not always a good thing) about the deathclaws and how to toughen them up. I don't think too many additional HD is the answer becuase it would increase the attack abilities. DR is real powerful as is Fast healing. But, Fast Healing isn't as powerful and would keep the deathclaws an interesting low to mid-level encounter, especailly in bigger numbers.

Thanks for the comments and keep them coming.
