Tooth & Claw Maneuvers


Tooth and Claw Maneuvers are those maneuvers used by beings with claws, fangs, and similar natural weaponry.
Garou is Crinos, Hispo and Lupus forms and vampires using the Protean Discipline to grow claws are some of the most common World of Darkness beings deemed to "possess claws". Typically, vampire claws (created with the Protean Discipline) do Strength +1 damage, and Garou claws, do Strength +2 damage; the maneuvers listed below add to that total. The base difficulty for a claw-based attack is 6. Damage from claws is Kill damage.
Don't forget that the claws of supernatural creatures such as vampires and Garou usually cause aggravated damage to other supernatural creatures.
Brawl Power Points are used to purchase all Tooth and Claw Maneuvers, except for Pounce, which is purchased with Athletics Power Points.
