Claws

[matrim1985]

I was wondering if short sword length was allowed for claws? Monsters use that length (which I know doesn't mean anything for PCs) so was wondering.

Claw is same as dagger:
Head: min 18", max 24".
Length: min 20", max 25".

Actually claws are short sword length, you have the dimensions correct though, Sean.
Per page 59 ARB:
"All claws must be short sword length and
must abide by all weapon construction rules.
They must be covered with red colored tape."

Then it's a discrepancy between dimensions on the chart & claw description which makes claws a hybrid of the 2 in reality.

Claw 18" min head, 24" max head, 20" min length, 25" max length, 8" max grip, 2" min head, 1 dmg.
Dagger 12" min head, 18" max head, 20" min length, 25" max length, 8" max grip, 2" min head, 1 dmg.
Short Sword 18" min head, 24" max head, 25" min length, 33" max length, 14" max grip, 2" min head, 2 dmg.

The weapon chart is the one that is incorrect. Standard PC claws are short sword length.

This. Build your claws using the chart specs for short swords.
