OK, I'm trying to create a way to have claws "charge up"(think the assassin in diablo 2), and deal damage that way, but thus far, I have nothing.
I looked back to something like page 5 of the forum and found nothing so yeah. Anyone have any ideas?

And for the claws(punching daggers), are there any other ones which do more than 1d4 damage?

The Spell Storing melee weapon ability might help you. Store an Inflict Serious Wounds spell.

Or get a ring of Spell Storing and store a Buff/charge up spell on the ring such as Greater Magic Weapon.

I was looking at a magic card i have-
Blademane Baku and thought to myself "Hmm, maybe this could be of some help"

and so here's what I have for the charging:

Wenever the assassin successfully deals damage with a weapon of the claw class choose one:
1)The weapon gets a charge of either physical, or an elemental type.
2)Take off all charges: Add the effect according to the amount of charges (must take the most possible, upto 3 of each type).

thank you:), and I'll have to take a look at the spell storing thing

Make it a wounding weapon... Kind of gives that charged-up feel. Spell storing is a good idea... Or you could get a copy of the Diablo source books. There might be something in there :)

What do you mean wounding?

and should I have higher-class claws(which deal more damage, kinda like dagger<sword<Bastard sword, and have a percentage of the damage get added(ie +150%), or just have punching dagger, and maybe go upto a claw doing 2d4 dmg, but it gets +1d4 dmg)?
