Natural attacks and Enhancements

[Coke]

A monk could apply weapon properties to his unarmed attacks as his unarmed attacks count as manufactured and natural for the purpose of spells.

How about a critter with natural attacks? Can a turtle get a shocking bite? or a +1 bite? Can you enhance him with shocking grasp?

Also.. will providing said critter with natural attacks, a gauntlet that deals shocking grasp damage, will this work?

You can't permanently enchant a monk's unarmed strike, since that's not a spell. That line just means you can cast either magic weapon and magic fang on a monk. If it's not a spell, it doesn't work. So the monk could have someone cast magic weapon on his hands each morning, but he couldn't get them permanently +3. That's what the Amulet of Mighty Fists is for.

Providing a creature with an enchanted weapon (like a gauntlet) only helps if that creature then makes attacks with that weapon. Unarmed attacks are not natural weapons and vice versa.

RAW no. NAtural weapons/unarmed cant be enchanted like normal weapons. For various reasons, including they arentt masterwork

[Coke]

Is there any other way for critters to get their natural attacks enhanced? so in the end, weapons still are the best option to get past DR?

Amulet of Mighty Fist!

[Robot_nachos]

Well technically, Greater Magic Fang can be made permanent via the spell Permanency for rather cheap. that's why an amulet of mighty fists is a fair bit more expensive then a normal weapon enchantment.

[Bobson]

That's still very different than enchanting them as weapons. Permanent spells are still subject to being dispelled. Weapons just turn off for a few rounds. If you have someone around who can re-permanency it as needed, it's a viable alternative, though.
