How do Charr grip things?
If you look, you’ll notice that charr have shorter fingers. Especially the final digit, which is just a paw (hand?) pad and claw growing out of it.
I really have no idea, though. Funny, this topic reminds me of a certain NPC in The Bane (arena/fighting pit) inside the Black Citadel that talks about how she absolutely hates balling her hands up like that when fighting. She’d rather use her claws and feels awkward without using them.
Stuff goes here.

Y’ever see those gals at the Wallyworld registers? You know, with the two-inch long painted fingernails?
Yeah, I don’t know how they get through life either. =P
Many alts; handle it!

Lorewise, the claws are retractible.
In retractible claws, the tip digit simply rotates backwards so when they makes a fist or hold something the surface area of the tip digit would still provide surface area. It just wouldn’t be the surface area in the same place on that last digit as you or I.

Wait, really? I have never, ever heard of of the claws being able to retract.

I heard it’s stated in one of the books, Ghosts of Ascalon, iirc
What Ishmael said. In Ghosts of Ascalon, Almorra Soulkeeper retracted her claws.
Huh…still haven’t finished Edge of Destiny yet, and GoA is next on my list. Still, I find it somewhat bothersome seeing my charr grip a sword or something with its claws out. That can’t be comfortable
They’re cats ^^ The game model of their retractible claws isn’t realistic. If you’ve seen a cat paw you have a better idea of how it look and work, but with longer digit.
It always bothers me whenever I play any of my charr characters. How exactly CAN they have a firm grip on anything when they have such giant claws? Obviously they can’t completely ball up their fist like every other race. I try to imitate the way they “ball up” their fists by closing by hand but instead of curling in the fingers, I leave them straight out. I don’t know about you, but that isn’t comfortable at all and I don’t see how to have a firm grip on things.
If you look at Rytlock in any dialogue videos, you can see his bottom tooth/teeth piercing through top of his muzzle.
When you get through that, you get through any design flaw.
