Sorcerer - Extra claw damage and magic gauntlets


Classes: Sorcerer and Wizard


Ok, let's say we have an 11th level sorcerer with a black draconic bloodline. Now, said sorcerer gets his claws (pardon the pun) on a pair of +1 flaming spiked gauntlets. Assuming a Strength of 14, if he were to make a full attack with his claws, what would the damage look like?

This: 1d6 + 2 plus 1d6 acid
Or this: 1d6 + 3 plus 1d6 fire plus 1d6 acid

Does the sorcerer add extra damage from other sources to his claw damage, or is there no way to add an extra oomph the the claws?

EDIT: Does the inverse also apply? Can the sorcerer add the additional 1d6 acid damage to his gauntlet attacks?

As far as I now the claws and the gauntlets are two different types of attacks and thus he would have to choose which of them to use each round, they wouldn't stack. However items that confer bonuses to natural attacks such as an amulet of mighty fist would stack with the claws.
