This option, "werewolf_claw_damage" for minecraft 1.18.2, latest werewolf mod version ([Werewolves-1.18.2-1.8-0.6.1]), doesn't change anything gameplay wise, the base dmg option works and increases all dmg acordingly, but the claw damage option doesn't work.
The "unarmed/claw" damage in the werewolf forms, except the one who increases base dmg wich only increases by the specified amount everything, is the same as untransformed.

#Level based claw damage attribute modifier
#Range: 0.0 ~ 2.147483647E9
werewolf_claw_damage = 10.0

So, any chance to bring that back?
I think it's thematicaly appropieta the werewolfs to not depend on using weapons por melee... At least not wooden/stone for the dmg at high levels.

Yes, it is currently not used due to removed skills
