Description
Razorclaw Shifter is an Eberron Iconic (starting in Sharn) that represents a third Subrace of Shifter, one focused on attacking things with claws. They get a unique set of attack animations when using Handwraps. This animation set is timed similar to Monk Handwrap animations.
- Starts with 1 level of: Barbarian
- Stats: +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence
- Autogranted Feat: Dismiss Rage
- Autogranted Feat: Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Handwraps
- Autogranted Feat: Razorclaw Shifter: Passive: +1 STR. Active: Activate this Shifter ability to shift your form, granting you a +4 Rage bonus to Strength and Dexterity, a +2 Morale bonus to Fortitude saves, and a -2 penalty to Wisdom. When the form ends, however, you will become fatigued. Your form will last for 30 seconds plus an additional amount of time based on your Strength. You can prematurely end your form by using the Dismiss Rage feat. This shares charges with Barbarian's Rage feat, and anything that grants bonuses while Raging will grant bonuses with this. Shifting your form in this way prevents Spellcasting.
- Past Life: Not featured in this preview.

Currently Known Bugs
- Neither male nor female shifters have had an animation polish past yet. There are numerous small animation issues. Let us know what you find, though, as a list of individual issues is helpful.
- Character Generation text is all currently placeholder (copied from Tiefling Scoundrel)
- Clicking get now on the Iconic Race selection screen will not find Razorclaw Shifters in the store, however, clicking Get Now on the final screen of character creation will. Alternatively, if you search the store manually you can find the Razorclaw Shifter Iconic Race.
- Razorclaw Shifters don't currently have their iconic cosmetic armor.
- Shifters don't yet correctly count as Humanoid Animals and so certain effects that only apply to humanoids will not apply to them in this preview. (Such as Hold Person)
- Stronger Howl currently is the Beasthide version in this tree and thus can not be taken at all.
