i was wondering about the stacking ability of beast claws and the necklace of natural weapons from Savage Species. if i allready have claws, the beast claws will make them +2 and add 1d6 damage to them. will using a necklace of natural weapons also enhance this? i assume that an enhancement bonus granted by the necklace will have no effect, as that is 2 enhancement bonuses from 2 sources, and the greater should apply. but what if i have other weapon properties on it. can i add flaming burst or icy burst to the claws and also have the +2 and 1d6 from the item? are the attacks still natural attacks when you use beast claws, or are they now manufactured weapons? and to be clear, if i want flaming claws on both claw attacks, then it is twice as expensive as 1 claw attack, for purposes of the necklace?

i'm allready thinking about getting improved natural attack, and going for the draconomicon rapidstrike feats. i'm thinking about a claw build dragon disciple, adding those full str bonuses to both claws.

if you could clear up my questions or offer any advice to my build, that would be great

Enhancement bonus does not stack with enhancement bonus, but special abilities do.

Same reason why if you cast Greater Magic Weapon (+5 enhancement bonus) on a +1 Holy Flaming Burst longsword (+5 weapon) it becomes a +5 Holy Flaming Burst Longsword (+9 weapon).

Sure it's a cheap trick, but it works.
