One of my players, for background resons, wanted a character with a clawed, metal, mechinical type arm. So I'm proposing this;

Removed Cold Seizeing

Pros
Natural claw doing 1d6 slashing/piercing
+2 to Intimidate checks
+1 natural armor

Cons
-4 to Diplomacy, Bluff, and Gather Information checks
1.5x electricity damage

Any suggestions?
