Temporal Raider

Unread post by LostOne »

The description makes a big deal about them having metal claws. No bonus damage for the claws or a claw attack?

Also do they get a HTH?

WB4 uses the word claws once, and later describes the raider as having sharp nails which resemble brushed metal. I'd just go with using SN PS punch damage but flavor it as claw swipes, when they'd even bother to attack in that way in the first place. This sort of fits in with their inability to take Boxing. In lieu of a standardized H2H they just use the species' description: 3APM@1, +1@4,7,11,15; half bonuses until 6th level.

Ok, I guess the claws are only mentioned once, but then you have the full page artwork by kevin himself that makes it look like some pretty wicked claws.

-ahem- The Temporal Raider is located in WB3: Rifts England.
WB4 is Rifts Africa.
The bolding is my doing.

How useful of you to 11 months after the fact correct a transposition error which anyone interested in the material could easily determine for themselves!
