Lesser King of Smack

[keeper2161]

I have been trying to make a lesser version of the King of Smack (from now on referred as KoS). The KoS is too powerful for my party but I like the idea of using magical claws. From what I have seen the only lesser version is a clawlock. This is the only definitive build that I have found. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?221944-Warforged-quot-Clawlock-!-quot
The Totemist seems like a good class to base a claw build off of but I have never made anything like this. Any help would appreciated.

A fun way to do it would be Elan Totemist 6/ Warblade 14. Focus on the tiger claw maneuvers that grant extra attacks and that one soulmeld that gives pounce as well as taking the rapidstrike line.

That is the beauty of psionics, you can forgo to augment the Claws of the beast/vampire powers and tone down the power of the KoS till it matches your desired power level.

Honestly, if you don't (ab)use the Rapidstrike feat chain you've already toned it down a ton. Just go Human or something instead of Elan/Synad.
