[DF] Cat Folk Martial Artist

Nakomus · 09-05-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm working on getting a Dungeon Fantasy campaign together and one of my players is interested in playing a Cat Folk martial artist. The Cat Folk template has the Claws (Sharp) advantage which should give him cutting damage on his unarmed attacks. However, the Karate skill specifically states that it cannot be used to attack with claws. On the other hand DF3 specifically suggests Martial Artists with the Druid lens could use Partial Shapeshifting to use Tiger Paws with Karate, which seems to contradict this.

So I'm wondering what the community thinks; should I let him get the cutting damage for his Karate punches? Or rule that Karate punches do crushing damage even if you have the Claws (sharp) advantage?

I don't have access to Martial Arts, if that has further rules for this.
