You still have to pay the normal experience or freebie points to raise your attribute.

You may or may not have the same number of fingers of a normal person of your base race. Trimming talons is painful and they grow back fairly quick.   +1 difficulty on Dexterity rolls involving fine motor skills including most Crafts and Medicine rolls.   You can still swing a sword or axe just fine, but if you want to fire a long bow or crossbow, it needs to be designed for you specifically and the custom job is going to cost at least triple the normal rate.   You do not have to take the "Weaponizable Claws" Flaw in conjunction with this Merit.   Merits   Weaponizable Teeth (2): Your bite inflicts Strength +2.
