[QUOTE="keeper216, post: 6370637, member: 6777522"] I made this because when I made a warlock claw build and some issues came up. I want everyone's opinion. Ok so here is what Eldritch Claws says "As a free action, you can form the energy of your eldritch blast into a set of claws extending almost an entire foot from your hands. While your eldritch claws exist you may make up to two claw attacks as natural weapons. You are automatically proficient with your eldritch claws. On a successful attack with an eldritch claw, you deal your normal amount of unarmed strike damage plus your eldritch blast damage. Once you form your eldritch claws they remain until just before the beginning of your next turn. You cannot use your normal eldritch blast ability while your eldritch claws exist. A monk may not use eldritch claws as part of her flurry of blows." (Bolding=Highlighting) One discussion is whether you actually use your Eldritch Blast. Those who say yes quote this "As a free action, [B]you can form the energy of your eldritch blast[/B] into a set of claws extending almost an entire foot from your hands." Those who say no quote this "On a successful attack with an eldritch claw, you deal your normal amount of unarmed strike damage plus your [B]eldritch blast damage[/B]." Another issue is how many natural attack you can have. "While your eldritch claws exist [B]you may make up to two claw attacks[/B] as natural weapons." Could you have more attacks if you had rapid strike? Is the bold just outlining what the feat can do by itself unaltered by feats? Another issue is how many claws can you have. Say you have four arms can you have four claws? The creation of the claws is a free action and there is no limit on the amount of free actions. So you would use this feat twice to make 2 pairs of claws. This discussion is tied to the first. Simply because if you can't have more then two attacks then the extra claws are worthless no matter how many there are. Another discussion is whether hellfire blast works with this. This discussion is tied to the first discussion. [/QUOTE]
