[3rd Party] Tooth and Veil

[Val666]

Hey folks! I was building some Akashic monsters the other day and stumbled upon the feat Tooth and Veil. You can look it up in LoM. For those who know the feat or want to share, which are good suggestions for weapon-like veils + natural attacks that you like? Just opening this thread so people can share their favorites.

Well I can't think of any specific combos that rely on using a specific natural attack offhand, although I'm sure one can do that.

But off hand, I have a fondness in my heart for-

Hardlight Axe (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Hardlight_Axe) would allow you to say claw people at a distance. Cool.

Aldain's Alchemical Armory (https://libraryofmetzofitz.fandom.com/wiki/Aldain%27s_Alchemical_Armory) allows you to turn your natural attacks into energy attacks- fiery claws, ice claws, lightning claws, or bind it and you can do force claws, negative energy claws.

I love this feat.
Some ideas i had:

crimson totem on a bite to have a vampire, healing by biting thing going

vael shardstorm and claw would have you shatter a claw to turn it into a pseudo swarm attack , imagine a cloud of countless nails dancing and shredding people inside

bands of the asura on claw turns you into a blender and a creep if you use it with tentacles

I once used machinist pile bunker on a stinger, i said that it got covered in metal parts, tensing, then releasing with a burst of light and heat like a high pressure lance through enemies.

I absolutly adore the bloodburst blade veil from the tome of veils and i want to use it on everything. It is not yet on the library or any wiki so basically it lets you stack charge on enemies by strinking then and once at a certain amount you can burst them for loads of damage. It is basically the bleed mechanic from the dark souls game but not % based.
On claw, you would lash until the target is eviscerate, on a slam you would smash until they burst and so on but what i like to do is to use a prosthetic weapon or a weapon graft (weapon graft is 3.5, but my games allow both content if approved by dm) to recreate the malenia boss from elden ring xp

Staff of the evoker (again, from tome of veils) on a horn lets you use said horn as a blasting tool, shooting blast of energy at foe.

Fury of the earth queen on a slam can let you hulk smash the ground to great effect but i think the best use of it is on a hoove thematically cause you can just stomp the ground to shake the earth.

Im not sure how the feat works on veil that give you distinct weapons, such as mark of the wounded beast, but it is still a great feat to allow customisation. Plus, if you can get a ranged natural attack (like lets say if you play with sphere of power and use the alteration talent morphic weapon to graft a weapon to yourself) it opens up a lot more.
