If your caster level is 8 and you choose tentacle as the target of this spell does it enchant (+2) just one tentacle or all of them? (same as if you chose claw, would only one claw get the +2)
Please and thank you!
It only affects one. So, if you have multiple claws or multiple tentacle attacks or whatever each casting would only affect one.
Greater Magic Weapon works well for unarmed strikes since it counts as only one weapon, but multiple natural attacks are multiple natural attacks.
This is why people normally use an amulet of mighty fists since it will enhance all of their natural attacks.
Ok, that's what I thought. I already have an amulet (holy) but can still use Gr. Magic Fang for +1 to all or take the Eldritch Claws feat to cover magic (and silver).
Cheers
Didn't read the thread, just the title.
But to answer your question: yeah, I'd cast G. Magic Fang on my natural weapon before a quicky.
Alternately, if you have an animal companion with only one attack, like a wolf, you are probably better off with wands of magic fang rather than amulets of mighty fists.
That's a bit too kinky for me.
Remember, the enhancement bonus from greater magic fang does not allow you to bypass DR. You still need a feat or amulet for that.
Never actually considered that. Time to hit the books.

So, is there a FAQ saying that Magic Fang doesn't help with DR?
Damage Reduction may be overcome by special materials, magic weapons (any weapon with a +1 or higher enhancement bonus, not counting the enhancement from masterwork quality), certain types of weapons (such as slashing or bludgeoning), and weapons imbued with an alignment.
Weapons with an enhancement bonus of +3 or greater can ignore some types of damage reduction, regardless of their actual material or alignment. The following table shows what type of enhancement bonus is needed to overcome some common types of damage reduction.
AoMF: This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.
Magic Fang: Magic fang gives one natural weapon or unarmed strike of the subject a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls.
All of that together sounds like Magic Fang should work against DR, unless I'm missing something else.
It does allow you to bypass Magic DR. It doesn't allow you to substitute high bonus for other kinds of DR (like +3 to bypass silver and +5 for alignment). It's explicit in the spell (and Greater Magic Weapon):
"This bonus does not allow a natural weapon or unarmed strike to bypass damage reduction aside from magic."
Ah cool. Thanks. Was just reading the regular instead of greater version. Didn't realize it excluded it specifically.
It was dr/magic that was the issue. I'm an Aasimar wood oracle using the favoured class bonus to accelerate the Plant Shape mystery. I usually take mi-go form and although I have a holy AoMF's I realized that I still had the most basic DR issues.
Luckily we have a Ranger to cast Gr.MF on me from a wand but I'll take Eldritch Claws next level (9) to save spending on expensive wands or even more expensive AoMF increase from +2 to +3.
I appreciated the off topic comments too!
