Here is the story on Blood Claws and why it's a 100% accuracy skill!
Blood Claws is and always has been a really, really iconic skill of the Pariah. We all loved it. We needed it. However, Blood Claws is pretty clearly a hand to hand combat skill. We really, really didn't want any class to feel like it was forced into ta specific combat tree- especially at the tier 2 level. We ran over a number of options, including simply giving the Pariah an innate weapon based on their tree (Blood Dagger? Blood Pistol? Blood Rock?) But that all just felt awkward and heavy handed.
Instead, we made it a fixed 100% accuracy skill. All Pariahs have the capacity to rip into someone with their claws no matter what weapon they use. So rather than having a 25% chance your attack does nothing, we just reduce the damage by 25%
It's not terribly powerful, but it may find a place as a handy backup weapon for ranged characters, or as a tool to deliver charge attacks.

Started as a placeholder name as a joke, the road to hell is paved with good intentions... We never actually came up with anything else. Instead of complaining, why don't you try suggesting something better? _________________

Trying to find something better is clearly futile.
I actually like that name for it - I chuckled out loud. _________________ |The Devil On Your Shoulder 4407 | Mira Lasan 1724 | Officer Horwood 1763 | A Ghast 5143 | A Velociraptor 3721 | Father Christmas 3115 |
The skill, Good Intentions, is otherwise nice, but seems really, really expensive. If the stygia will be as inviting as it is now >.> 20 cp for guaranteed spawn there? I usually hope I spawn anywhere but there. _________________ "I am your Slave

Remember that spawning with Good Intentions also reduces AP cost for spawn. If your faction lives on Stygia then Good Intent is the best thing ever. It's also great if you're component hunting, since less spawn-AP = more searching. _________________

Quite right. 1/3 is not the same as 2/3. This skill really is a perk.

Not sure if sarcastic or not, but at higher levels it really IS pretty great. I'm going for the skills on my Tier 2's who frequent hell _________________

Well, Sweedee, it looks like you're outvoted. Both Mallich and Kiralio think "Good Intentions" is the best possible name for the skill.
No alternatives, and only three hours? That's just... mean.
Well name it what you want, but I could only suggest:
Highway To Hell
The Low Way
Recurring Nightmare
Escape The Light
Pandemonium
All Demons' Dwell
Extradition of Perdition
Shallow Grave
From The Ashes
Killer's Haunt
Bloodsoaked Grounds
Slap on the Wrist
And Into The Fire
Domus Inferno
