Feats

 * Autogranted Feat: Dismiss Rage
 * Autogranted Feat: Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Handwraps
 * Autogranted Feat: Razorclaw Shifter: Passive: +1 STR. Active: Activate this Shifter ability to shift your form, granting you a +4 Rage bonus to Strength and Dexterity, a +2 Morale bonus to Fortitude saves, and a -2 penalty to Wisdom. When the form ends, however, you will become fatigued. Your form will last for 30 seconds plus an additional amount of time based on your Constitution. You can prematurely end your form by using the Dismiss Rage feat. This shares charges with Barbarian's Rage feat, and anything that grants bonuses while Raging will grant bonuses with this. Shifting your form in this way prevents Spellcasting.

Shifting is very similar to Barbarian Rage. Its duration uses the same calculation as for a barbarian's Rage ability, and all bonuses gained that apply to rage will apply to shifting, even if this may not be intuitive - for example, a Razorclaw Shifter with at least 11 levels of Barbarian will gain an additional +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, +1 Will, and +10 Melee Power while shifting, thanks to the increases provided by Greater Rage. Bonuses from racial enhancements and barbarian enhancement trees also appear to fully stack, including those to duration (Extend Shifting and Extend Rage) and to ability scores (Hardy Shifting and Hardy Rage).

Iconic Past Life Feats
Stance: +1 to Attack and Damage with Melee Weapons per stack of this past life. Passive Bonus: +1 Will Saving Throw per stack of this past life.

PnP information and traits
Razorclaw shifters are more independent, self-reliant and adaptable than their longtooth cousins. They're just as loyal to their group as longtooth shifters however, they expect their companions to be just as self-reliant and capable as they are. Razorclaw shifters strive to carry their own weight within their groups.
