CORROSIVE FANG
Transmutation
Level: Drd 2, Rgr 2
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Living creature touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)

Corrosive fang gives one natural weapon of the subject a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and adds 1d6 points of acid damage +1 point per caster level (to a maximum of +10). The spell can affect a slam attack, fist, bite, or other natural weapon. (The spell does not change an unarmed strike’s damage from nonlethal damage to lethal damage.) The creature touched is immune to the acid generated by this spell.

Why does it affect Slam attacks?

Basically because Magic Fang does.

{Shrug}If that's the case then I'd say this is reasonably balanced.

*Shrug* I don't see anything wrong with it. I know a Ranger in my party who might want to use this spell on his Viper, though.

It's definitely not overpowered. It might be slightly underpowered, but not badly.

It looks nice enough. Suppose a T-Rex with acid teeth might be kind of awesome.

Yes, this is rather balanced. However, would it affect claw attacks? It says fist attack but I'm not sure if that applies to claw attacks.

Claw attacks are natural attacks, so yes. This would affect claw attacks.

In fact, that whole sentence is completely unnecessary. The first sentence says "natural weapon," so it's already set what it can affect.

Oh, I was just confused on that point. But, yeah, that whole sentence was abit unnecessary.
