Then you can let them gain a second claw as a feat, and then Rake as a second tier feat. Should get clawed gauntlet as a bonus proficiency. Note that in their original presentation, they did very low damage with their natural claws and hence would probably either do less damage than most creatures, or would have some ability that simply converts their unarmed strike damage into lethal damage without taking a -4 to hit. I generally avoid passing out feats as racial features. Just as an example, if you give them Improved Initiative, what do you do for a Rakasta that is particularly quick-witted? My usual approach is to find a similar feat or monster ability to what you want, cut the bonus in half, and make it a racial bonus. For instance, +1 or +2 to Reflexes or +2 to Initiative, rather than Lightning Reflexes or Improved Initiative. If you cut Blind-fight and the multiple natural weapons, there may be room for both.Definitely low-light vision rather than darkvision; they are not monstrous humanoids, nor are they subterranean.What would really say Rakasta to me is a Mounted Pounce ability that let them leap from their mount, make multiple attacks, and then make an Acrobatics check to avoid falling prone.</blockquote>
