SPECIAL ABILITIES

Death Claw (Su)

An iron claw can wrap its craws around its target squeezing the life from them. The iron claw must make a melee touch attack (+23), if it hits, 14d6 points of non-elemental damage and must make a Fortitude save (DC 21) or be inflicted with the Paralysis status for 1d4+1 rounds. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th level spell (Knowledge: Arcana DC 27).

Improved Rend (Ex)

When an iron claw hits with its claws in 1 round, depending on the number of claw strikes that hit the target improves the damage of the latching onto the opponent’s body and tearing flesh. If two claws hit, the damage will be 2d6+12, if four claws hit, the damage will be 2d8+12, or if six claws hit, the damage will be 4d6+12.
