Aspect of the Beast	Beast shape class feature	Your bestial nature manifests itself in one of the following ways. You choose the manifestation when you choose the feat, and then you cannot change it. • Night Senses (Ex): If your base race has normal vision, you gain low-light vision. If your base race has low-light vision, you gain darkvision out to a range of 30 feet. If your base race has darkvision, the range of your darkvision increases by 30 feet. • Claws of the Beast (Ex): You grow a pair of claws.
