-- It's unnecessary to give it to them though. Actual wild animals would certainly get more use of their natural weapons. And as you say, they are not going to be using their claws unless they are somehow disarmed of their more effective constructed weapons.Zaster said:But the Rakasta are specialists with one particular, non-natural weapon (the kasa). I think the bonus feat makes sense because it reflects that trained weapon specialization.
-- Except at this point the CC Rakasta bears little to no resemblence to the original source material. They happen to be cat-looking humanoids with high Dex and low Wis in the source material. Heck going by the original material they have a much greater claim to getting Pounce then weapon finesse.I agree the Dex should be toned down to 15. But I like Boz's current stats for Strength and Wisdom. Cats are pretty strong and muscular for thier size (which you can really see in a human-size cat like a cougar, for example). And the 12 Wisdom is pretty standard for predatory animals (to reflect thier superior senses).
-- I'm not going to argue fantasy biomechanics, but it's probably unwise to give PCs all the good parts of a wild animal they resemble and zero of the drawbacks. Especially when it really should be a race directed towards being PCs from the start (preferablly with a sane LA).
