It requires a full minute to equip and the Quickdraw feat has no effect. Wearing one covers an entire arm and treats a user as if they had a single Claw attack as a natural weapon. If the wearer possesses proficiency with a Buckler, a Claw Guard is treated as if it were also a buckler though beyond masterwork, the Claw Guard's buckler abilities must be enchanted seperately. A Claw Guard takes up the same space as a Gauntlet and Bracer. A magical Claw Guard gains the ability to absorb part of a paired item that fits those slots if its other is on the other arm or hand. Fine dexterity is impossible when using the hand with a Claw Guard and the wearer suffers a -2 penalty on any check that requires it. One may not wield another weapon in the same hand as the claw guard is on. A Claw Guard cannot be disarmed without an effect that would remove the arm it is attached to.
