Message: <blockquote data-quote="Toptomcat" data-source="post: 4913210" data-attributes="member: 16191">To reassure you, I'm not trying for anything like a traditional Shaolin-inspired, acrobatic, mystical-master monk in *concept*- more of a consummate brawler of astonishing and refined brutality, with some inspiration taken from Thai kickboxing.The line in the rules permitting touch attacks to be delivered via unarmed strikes or natural attacks is gone in Pathfinder, which is dissapointing and not for what I envision for the character. If you would reinstate it, it would be appreciated. Additionally, I'm not a huge fan of the flavor of Claws of the Beast: I want to describe brutal attacks with elbows, knees, headbutts, gouges, not only hand attacks with claws. However, you're right in that it's too good a power to ignore for an unarmed PsyWar: would you object to an alternate version of Claws of the Beast that dealt bludgeoning damage and was treated as an unarmed strike rather than a 'special' natural weapon for purposes of Weapon Focus, feats like Scorpion Style, and the like?If you were flexible in those respects, I think I could just go straight PsyWar, without needing any prestige class at all.</blockquote>
