• Prereq: ; Edeinos; Spirit 10+
When the black stone of the great volcanoes turns to liquid, the bravest of edeinos may undergo the ritual of the death claw.
They do this only under the supervision of their optant, who prays to Lanala for life while the warrior attacks the molten stone with his claws, dipping, slashing, and punching until his hands burn brilliant orange. If he survives this ritual, his talons are forever after black as night and harder than steel.
Edeinos with the Death Claw Perk cause Strength +3 damage, Armor Piercing 2 when attacking with their claws.
Natives of the Living Land, edeinos are lizardlike humanoids who venerate a Goddess of Life and celebrate survival against all odds. After the invasion of Core Earth by the Reality Raiders, many edeinos have journeyed beyond their cosm and joined the fight against the High Lords. Most are eager for new experiences, seeing each day as another test of survival.
