Kruthik Claws

Kruthik Claws

Descriptors: Acid
Classes: Totemist
Chakra: Hands, shoulders (totem)
Saving Throw: None

Incarnum forms chitinous plates that hover over your shoulders and down your arms to your hands. At the backs of your hands, these plates take on long, triangular shapes like the scythe-claws of a kruthik, though these blades extend only barely beyond your fingertips.

With kruthik claws shaped, you gain a +4 competence bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks.

Essentia: For every point of essentia you invest in your kruthik claws, your competence bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks increases by 2.

Chakra Bind (Hands)

The chitinous blades merge into the backs of your hands and sprout numerous sharp spines near your wrists. A sense of quickness dances in your fingers.

You gain the benefit of the Weapon Finesse feat when attacking with natural weapons.

Chakra Bind (Shoulders)

Chitin plates fuse to your shoulders and grow thick and hard. Additional plates spread across your back, rising in a crest over your shoulders.

You gain resistance to acid 10. Every point of essentia invested in your kruthik claws increases this resistance by 5 points.

Chakra Bind (Totem)

Enormous, serrated, scythelike claws extend from your wrists to cover your hands. Vicious spikes emerge from the base of these blades, and a bright blue acidic secretion lines the cutting edge.

You can use your two claws as natural weapons that deal 1d6 points of damage plus your Strength modifier. For every point of essentia you invest in your kruthik claws, you deal an additional 1d4 points of acid damage with each claw attack.
