05-28-06, 10:08 PM I was playing a scarn for magic of incarnum and I wanted to be a spine meld warrior. So you spines are natural weapons that do a 1d6 percing damage. So can you place a enhancement on them to do stuff like shocking or flaming, and what would be the limit. Do you have to make them master work natural weapons or just cost extra. Because this could also help with a scarn monk I wanated to play. (im a scarn fan) could you also do this to any natural weapon like claws or some thing. Like you now some things would just be retarded if you had a shocking slam attack. so can you place enhancements on there spines. thanks for any answers.

05-28-06, 10:18 PM Natural weapons are not "masterwork" like manufactured magic weapons so they cannot benefit from normal weapon enhancements.

There are however, spells like Magic Fang which can enhance natural weapons. I think the Kensai class (Complete Warrior) might let you do what you want with your skarn though.

You can get Permenancy cast after you get Greater Magical Fang. The only problem is you have to get it again if it gets dispelled.

Would you prefer something magic to sheathe your natural weapon in as opposed to enhancing itself, mr. bulletproof? ;)

05-28-06, 11:36 PM Magic Fang and Metaphysical Claw will both work to enhance natural weapons, and can Magic Fang be made permenant. As for enhancements, try Energy Claw (psychic warrior, 4th level power) or Dissolving Touch (4d6 acid damage). Both of these can be made into psionic tattoos that a non-psionic can use.

Otherwise, natural weapons cannot just be made magic the way crafted weapons can.
