10-23-07, 10:53 AM Weapon Focus, Specializtion, improved critical and weapon finesse work.

Righteous Might is better than enlarge person due to the other benefits and if you have the Book of Vile Darkness, there is a spell in there that when used on someone with claws it increases the damage by 2 sizes. I am not sure of the name or exact verbage and I don't have the book on hand.

Magic Fang and an Amulet of Mighty Fists also will help.

10-23-07, 10:59 AM The problem is accessing righteous might. Enlarge person can be readily cast on you by the party wizard, and lasts a decent duration. You can't even get a wand of righteous might to UMD or something...

I was looking at benefits, not accessiblity. I have no idea what a feral human swordsage Bloodclaw Master is or the party he is used in. I was just giving another option.

I second this. Psychic Warriors have bucket-tonnes of claw-enhancing powers.

Metaphysical claw, prevenom, painful strike, strength of my enemy, claws of the vampire, duodimensional claw, claw of energy, and truevenom -- if you don't count powers that just generally buff yourself or your attacks.

Psychic Warriors also have expansion as a 1st level power. If you take two Psychic Warrior levels you can get expansion and prevenom, two fighter or psionic feats, and a high enough manifester level (if you take Practiced Manifester) to augment expansion to make you Huge for six rounds.

Of course you probably don't want to take levels in another class, or you don't use psionics, or something else to make all this moot.
