The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder’s size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed.

- NB: the formula used in this answer was derived by reverse engineering the table for damage per size category and is not official. At lower dice amounts, the formula is alternating 150% damage and 133% per size category starting with 3d6 being 150% of 2d6, and 3d8 being 150% of 2d8, then 4d6 being 133% of 3d6.
- Also I think Touch of Anguish is nooooot baaaad dps wise (250-280 deeps), and it has a nifty 30% inc cold dmg, and high crit chance. Maybe some god tier 300-400 pdps claw can be a better choice ofc. To be tested, but I think this whole concept is viable!
- The number of attacks a creature can make with its natural weapons depends on the type of the attack—generally, a creature can make one bite attack, one attack per claw or tentacle, one gore attack, one sting attack, or one slam attack (although Large creatures with arms or arm-like limbs can make a slam attack with each arm). Refer to the.
- .:Weapon Type vs Monster Size Table. Picking the correct weapon type for the size of the monster you are killing will maximize your damage. Different weapon types might have an advantage or disadvantage on different monster sizes. You want to have a weapon that deals 100% to the monsters you are killing.
Most creatures possess one or more Natural Attacks (attacks made without a weapon). These attacks fall into one of two categories, primary and secondary attacks. Primary attacks are made using the creature's full Base Attack Bonus and add the creature's full Strength bonus on Damage rolls. Secondary attacks are made using the creature's Base Attack Bonus –5 and add only 1/2 the creature's Strength bonus on Damage rolls. If a Creature has only one natural attack, it is always made using the creature's full Base Attack Bonus and adds 1-1/2 the creature's Strength bonus on Damage rolls. This increase does not apply if the Creature has multiple attacks but only takes one. If a Creature has only one type of attack, but has multiple attacks per round, that attack is treated as a primary attack, regardless of its type. Table: Natural Attacks by Size lists some of the most common types of Natural Attacks and their classifications.
Some creatures treat one or more of their attacks differently, such as dragons, which always receive 1-1/2 times their Strength bonus on Damage rolls with their bite attack. These exceptions are noted in the creature's Description.
Creatures with Natural Attacks and attacks made with Weapons can use both as part of a full attack Action (although often a Creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their Weapons normally but treat all of their Natural Attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack's original type.
The Damage Type column refers to the sort of Damage that the natural attack typically deals: bludgeoning (B), slashing (S), or piercing (P). Some attacks deal Damage of more than one type, depending on the Creature. In such cases all the Damage is considered to be of all listed types for the purpose of overcoming Damage Reduction.
Some fey, humanoids, monstrous humanoids, and outsiders do not possess Natural Attacks. These creatures can make unarmed strikes, but treat them as Weapons for the purpose of determining attack bonuses, and they must use the Two-Weapon Fighting rules when making attacks with both hands. See Table: Natural Attacks by Size for typical Damage values for Natural Attacks by Creature size.

Natural Weapons
Natural weapons are weapons that are physically a part of a creature. A creature making a melee attack with a natural weapon is considered armed and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Likewise, it threatens any space it can reach. Creatures do not receive additional attacks from a high base attack bonus when using natural weapons. The number of attacks a creature can make with its natural weapons depends on the type of the attack—generally, a creature can make one bite attack, one attack per claw or tentacle, one gore attack, one sting attack, or one slam attack (although Large creatures with arms or arm-like limbs can make a slam attack with each arm). Refer to the individual monster descriptions.
Max dmg q5 daggers guild wars. Unless otherwise noted, a natural weapon threatens a critical hit on a natural attack roll of 20, and deal double damage on critical hits.

When a creature has more than one natural weapon, one of them (or sometimes a pair or set of them) is the primary weapon. All the creature’s remaining natural weapons are secondary.
A creature’s primary natural weapon is its most effective natural attack, usually by virtue of the creature’s physiology, training, or innate talent with the weapon. An attack with a primary natural weapon uses the creature’s full attack bonus, and its damage includes its full Strength modifier (1-1/2 times its Strength bonus if the attack is with the creature’s sole natural weapon). Attacks with secondary natural weapons are less effective and are made with a –5 penalty on the attack roll, no matter how many there are, and add only 1/2 the creature’s Strength bonus to damage. (Creatures with the Multiattackfeat take only a –2 penalty on secondary attacks.) This penalty applies even when the creature makes a single attack with the secondary weapon as part of the attack action or as an attack of opportunity.
Natural weapons have types just as other weapons do. The most common are summarized below.
Bite
The creature attacks with its mouth, dealing piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage.
Claw or Talon
The creature rips with a sharp appendage, dealing piercing and slashing damage.
Gore
The creature spears the opponent with an antler, horn, or similar appendage, dealing piercing damage.
Slap or Slam
Claw Size Scaling Dmg Pathfinder Guide
The creature batters opponents with an appendage, dealing bludgeoning damage.
Sting
The creature stabs with a stinger, dealing piercing damage. Sting attacks usually deal damage from poison in addition to hit point damage.
Tentacle
The creature flails at opponents with a powerful tentacle, dealing bludgeoning (and sometimes slashing) damage.
