Claw of Baeast A mythical relic, given by Baeast to his Druids to aid in their tasks. It is
a powerful and mysterious weapon and tool. The claw often appears by
mysterious circumstance, recognizable on touch by any of the faith of
Baeast. It resembles a bears paw with ruddy brown fur and strong black
claws. The claw must be attached to a Druids severed wrist and it remains
there permanently until the priests death at which time it vanishes and is
teleported to circumstances near the most powerful priest of Baeast, where
it may again be found. The claw instantly attaches itself to the wearers
body and may not be remove short of any means then killing its wearer.
Upon wearing the claw the alignment of its wearer instantly changes to
Chaotic Neutral, his eyes become yellow, and his body becomes noticeably
hairier. Anyone not of the faith of Baeast who voluntarily attempts to
attach his wrist to the claw is instantly struck dead and turned to ashes
without a save. Priests wearing the claw may present it as their holy symbol.
Should the wearer be slain, the claw disappears teleported to the most
powerful Druid and the slayer of the wearer is cursed so that all malevolent
creatures big and small know his location if within 10 miles, and they will
seek him out and attack him. A limited wish will remove this curse,
but a remove curse spell is not powerful enough.
The claw grants the wearer the Improved Unarmed
Strike feat, allowing them to attack with the claw for 1d6+5 damage. The
priest gains the spell-like powers of camouflage, pass without
trace, tree stride, speak with animals, and animal
friendship. Most animals will recognize the claw and obey the user without
need of a charm spell. The wearer may move silently with 100% skill in any
sylvan setting. The Claw bestows a +2 deflection and resistance bonus to the
wearer. The wearer also gains a climb movement of 20 feet. Once per month,
the bearer may use the Claw as a Rod of Rulership on all beasts,
animals, and vermin within the area of effect. The rulership effect lasts
for 4d4 hours. Last, the wearer never has need for nourishment when in sylvan
environments.
