The claw is a leather glove fitted with metal points on the fingertips, replicating the natural weapons of beasts. The glove is usually reinforced with hard leather, studs, or metal plates. Benefit: While wearing a claw, you are considered armed and your unarmed attacks deal normal damage. If you are proficient with a claw, you may treat your attacks as being unarmed or with natural weapons (for the benefits of feats, class abilities, etc). Monks are proficient with the claw. Drawback: When using a claw, your fingers retain most of their flexibility, allowing you to wield or carry items in that hand, but the metal points at your fingertips gives you a –4 penalty on all precision-based tasks involving that hand (such as opening locks). Weapon Feature(s): monk
