Hmm... the ELDRITCH POWER!

[Amechra]

So... the Eldritch Claws feat...

Throw some Rapidstrike and Improved Rapidstrike on that puppy for some clawing action, check with your DM to see if they'll let you apply Blast Essences to your claws, also check for whether or not Mortalbane applies; my DM said yes the one time I used the feat.

That's all we can do, right?

Wrong.

Go buy an Amulet of Natural Attacks. I daresay there is at least one decent weapon enhancement for your claws...

Superior Unarmed Strike + Natural Attack + other things that increase your Unarmed Strike damage

Beast Strike

[KellKheraptis]

Amechra, integrate that onto one of our 36d6 Hellfire Blast Theurges along with Beast Strike, Giant Size, and Greater Mighty Wallop.  Just might surpass the Tashlatoran God of Smack (or more like add to him, as all of that can be integrated by altering the basis of his power).

Hell, why not go for a Warlock 6/ Barbarian 1/ Warshaper 2/ Hellfire Warlock 3/ Black Blood Cultist 8...

Use Warshaper to get one of every natural attack, +11d6 per natural attack...

Builds will be forthcoming...gotta clean up from a party last night

Eldritch Grapple?

[Amechra]

Hmm...

I wish that Grappling Blast wasn't incompatible with Eldritch Claws; otherwise...

Grappling Blast might be better just because of the bonus to grapple checks, though; one of those 36d6 theurges deals, on average, 126 damage, for a +63 untyped bonus to grapple checks.

Nice.

Notice that while you can't blast shape, you can add essences.

Makes me want to make a Warlock Assassin who uses a Garrote Ring and Grappling Blast; he strangles you, and you have to avoid catching on fire, or gaining a negative level, or the funniest...

I want a Grappling Blast with the Beguiling Blast Eldritch Essence applied (Well, it does Charm your target for a round.)...
