Quick fix to claws costume problem.

Those of us who play claws sets know that the costume options need some love. We currently have five options:

tiger claws,
energy claws,
katar (never seen one in person, but they look a little large),
spikes,
and rock claws.

In the costume sets and drops there are also hands with claws, monster hands with claws, gloves with claws, psi slicers, dogz spiked bracers, and who knows how many others. None of these work with claws, if you put one of those on you will still have one of the five above appear.

Quick and easy solution? Add a sixth option: NOTHING! Let us decide that no weapon appears when claws go active. We add a reasonable costume piece, or none at all and we're done. No additional animations, no worry about whether the weapon interferes with other costume options. Easy.

Come on Devs, show us some quick and easy love.

    That's...probably the simplest fix to this issue I've ever seen.

    I would like to suggest going further with a Closed Hand and Open Hand options. So it'll look right for those with clawed bracers (Steelhawk/Nighthawk) and clawed hands.

    This seems like a simple and ideal solution

    Huh......THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY A GREAT IDEA, especially since some of the bracers already have claws on them, i could finally slash people with my nighthawk bracers :D

    The only problem is that, IIRC, the character model has their hand in a fist, when using claws attacks, (I guess it's supposed to be that your character is gripping the handle of the claw weapon). This would mean that it'd look fine for the bracers w/ claws on them, but actual hands w/ claws wouldn't look right.

    An "unarmed" or "none" option would be cool for Dual Blades, Heavy Weapons, and Single Blades too. More unarmed animations without having to make new powers.

    Oy, I tried to make a female claws character today. I had no idea (until I came here and searched for it) that there was such a long lasting bug! Right hand; right hand claw. Left hand; right hand claw. Geez. Ended up just going with Bestial instead.

    It looks that way in the tailor, but as in the actual powers themselves the left/right claws display properly.

    It does come out right? That's weird, but I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the heads up!

    i would like a nothing option for all weapons actually not just claws
    with all the gun hands no guns would be great as well

    My unarmed toon has a costume with the Roin'ish(?) sword hands and it looks good in a fight. I definitely endorse this suggestion. Also a none option for pistol powers would work well with the Mechassassin gun hands. Foam finger too maybe.
