Martial Arts: Claws

The clawed hero is one of the more popular yet grim hero stereotypes that you will find in comics and even their on screen renditions.   It made perfect sense for Champions Online to have a unique power set specifically for the clawed hero.  While the claws themselves do not look exactly like those found on the fan favorite, Wolverine, they are quite functional and are capable of creating long lasting wounds to their victims (Dot/bleed  effects basically)

All powers and power sets are considered unfinished and are subject to change at any time.
