Introduction

Mobile damage dealer. At level 12:

AC 36, BAB +9 +9

Each of 16 (4 + for garillon arms + 8 for speed) claw attacks does d6+d6(vampiric)+1(magic weapon)+2d6(Holy weapon) + 6(STR) + 5 (collision) for 36hp potential per claw

ALL claw attacks add to unarmed damage (Beast Strike) for a total of d8+36*16=584 potential per attack

normal attack sequence is an unarmed and 16 claws for a total of 1160HP dmg potential not including AoOs

<- Backstab creates an AoO and Improved reflexes doubles it for another 400HP potential per round without a normal AoO ->

Game Rule Components

Items
