Because the question arose for a buddy of mine.
Climbing Claws? If it's one claw per hand/foot giving +2 dice for climbing, that's a +8 Bonus to climbing.
But on the other Hand(*snickers*) Hand-Razors cost more essence and come only as one set per hand.
But they have the same Damage Code. So if it's really one Set of climbing Claws for both hands for half the essence, you now have 2 sets of Hand-Razors if you use them for close combat for less essence . .
Also, they will help you with climbing, something the usual Hand-Razors seem to be unable to do . . What am i missing here?

Just for the Record
Handrazors and Climbing Claws cost the same Essence.
Climbing Claws do 1 Pt less Damage ,cost about 150 % of Handrazors (and give +2 Climbing Bonus)

The rules are a bit of a mess there. I'd say you need 2 claws for the bonus, and I'm not even sure you can get them in feet.

I did once have a character who 'cheated' and got just one hand with the claws (for the +2 bonus) to save on capacity. smile.gif

What if you use hands in the place of your feet? A la "Aeon Flux"? cyber.gif

This is more or less because of the debacle you are going through with your GM ^^

No more Debate with my GM ,I got Rid of 1 Set of Climbing Claws and got me a Nanohive instead
Now my Char has only 16 Dice in Climbing but he's got Narcoject and Neurostun Nantidotes,Oxyrush and Nanotattoos (for Fluff grinbig.gif )
He says 1 Set of Climbing Claws is for both Feet.... ohplease.gif
If my GM wants it like that he'll get it likewise

with an even better Dance

I feel like the climbing claw bonus maxes out at +2, however many you get. It's not like you can't get a crazy Climbing DP anyway. smile.gif
Stahlseele
you can get a climbing DP of 40, just like you can get a soak DP of 40 or a shmoozing DP of 40 or a shooty DP of 40 and so on . .
