Grayclaws (weapon)

Grayclaws were a set of claw-like weapons favored by the Grayclaws thieves' guild of Tantras, who took their name from these blades.

Description
Grayclaws consisted of a set of leather gauntlets that strapped to the hand fitted with brass knuckles, from which projected razor-sharp blades. They were similar to the bagh nakh wielded in some eastern lands.

Abilities
Grayclaws were a slashing weapon, lightly damaging but fast. A trained user could be dangerous in battle, and Grayclaws thieves, specialized in their use, could deliver a devastating sneak attack on their targets.

The claws had another use, in gripping surfaces while climbing, enabling to climb faster and more surely. A Grayclaws thief could use them to scale a wall with ease. However, they tended to hamper the wearer's hand movements in other areas, and they could not be donned or doffed quickly.

Availability
A set of grayclaws typically cost 3 gold pieces, though they were rarely available on the open market.
