I AM the CLAW!
1 lineman equivalent (player that you can take 0-12/ 0-16) gets a free claw skill. This skill is in addition to the base skill package, i.e. Dark Elves will have 5 primary skills + a lineelf with claw. The player receiving the claw can take no other additional skill. This bonus is available to all teams, the player does not need to have access to mutations to use it. They are the CLAW.
Note: do not add this skill on tourplay as most races won’t have access to it.
