If I cast greater magic fang to add a +3 enhancement bonus to a natural attack, does it effect only one natural attack? Or does it effect one KIND of natural attack?

For example, if I cast it on a girallon, would the bonus apply to one claw, or all four claws?

Quote:
Magic fang gives one natural weapon or unarmed strike of the subject a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. The spell can affect a slam attack, fist, bite, or other natural weapon.

Looks unequivocally singular.

Umm only if you are looking at the wrong spell...he said greater...
So to answer him...when using GMF you can give ONE attack a +3 or ALL natural attacks a +1. By default it means that unless you are only attacking with one attack, you need to split it. If you read the spell it is actually quite clear.


I agree with davidvs. It reads to me that one hand/foot/bite/etc. receives the +3.

Put the wrong emphasis...it's not listed as kinds but just attacks...so 2 claws is two attacks therefore needs to be split or cast separately on each claw to get the full bonus..so for your Garillion you would need 4 castings to do a +3 or 1 casting for a +1.

So I would have to get it permancied four times for my pet girillon's claws?

Thanks.

Oh absolutely...unless you just wanted the generic +1... Although why not do an Amulet of Mighty Fists? More mutability anyway and isn't lost when the thing dies..
