Venomed Claws (Priest Spell)

By casting this spell, the priest gives himself and up to one additional creature per three levels of experience of the priest (round fractions up) the ability to strike in hand-to-hand combat with ven­omous claw attacks. Any hand like appendage can be used by the affected creature, which has only one poisonous claw attack per round. Damage inflicted by a successful attack with venomed claws is 1d4 points per two levels of experience of the priest (round fractions down), to a maximum of 6d4. In addition, the attack sequence does any damage it would normally cause. A successful saving throw vs. poison halves this damage, or negates it entirely if the basic nonpoisonous damage of the attack is 2d4 hit points or less.
The material component is a snake fang or the poison sac of a venomous spider.
Notes: Granted by Iuz the Evil of the Grey-hawk setting.
