Claw (attack)
Claws are a form of attack employed by some animals, monsters and humanoids to cause damage. They consist of curved, hard material capable of slashing open skin or disemboweling an enemy, if enough damage is done. Claws are favoured among carnivores, particularly felines and mammal-like beasts, along with some reptiles and amphibians. The list of creatures that employ claws for attack include supernatural creatures.
Clawed creatures usually have two claws. Creatures with an intelligence of 2 or less will always use both claws to attack the same target, along with what other attacks they have. Creatures with an intelligence of 3 to 4 will coordinate one claw with their attacks against a single target, while slashing with their other claw to drive back other enemies.
- For example, a leopard with a 3 intelligence, attacking with two claws and fangs, faces Sareth, Tabor and Urgot. The leopard's first attack, with claw and fang, rolled randomly, falls on Urgot. The other claw then randomly attacks either Sareth or Tabor.
Humanoids
Some humanoids have long hooked nails on the ends of their fingers that aren't retractable like a mammal's claw.
