Unfortunately, I was forced to kill her, as she attacked my party. Does killing her make a big difference to the game--i.e.- do I not get the choice of Deathclaw characters if she is killed ??
 
Should I go back to a saved game & try really hard to avoid the Deathclaw Matriarch-so she doesn't attack my Party, after she kills the Beastlords ??

Depends on how badly you want to recruit deathclaws - they're not
really good against the endgame enemies.

I am on the St Louis Super-mutant mission & I brought a Deathclaw along--she
seems to be having some success with grenades & fighting gloves of various
designs...

Some of the super mutants seem to be just as deadly as deathclaws in
HTH, and can use the same hand held "claws". BTW, did they ever fix
the bugged shotgun glove? That thing used to piss me off no end...
sometimes it would work as advertised but most the time it was like
attacking bare handed. Even the sound effect was bugged. And what's
the deal with atht one claw from the beastlord mission? That thing was
3 times better than anything else in the game....

They do fine if you go stealth rout with them. They can kill pretty
much anything in one round after sneaking up on it.

I imagine most people didn't bother with stealth though, I certainly
didn't. Not much point whne you can blow the dog shit out of something
with a Browning M2 and still have movement points to duck behind cover
afetrwards.

Maybe in realtime mode...

Is there a list somewhere of the various strengths/weaknesses of the
non-human races ??

It appears that Ghouls & Deathclaws can't wear armour(I've tried--metal and
leather armour won't work) & Deathclaws can't use edged weapons or
firearms(My Deathclaw has lots of super & ultra stimpacks & lots of grenades
!!)

Or, can someone post a short-form non-human NPC guide for me ??
