So with the ACG out with new Barbarian powers a question came up in regards to stacking claw powers. Take the Lesser Beast Totem rage power and the Lesser Abyssal Bloodrage power. Both give the exact same thing (2 claw attacks). If you took both would you get 4 attacks? A bigger damage die? A useless power? Any ideas would be great.

Unless you found ways of getting additional limbs, you would only have one pair of claws. There is a similar FAQ entry (http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fn#v5748eaic9n88) on stacking two bites with separate abilities, where they rule you would need a second mouth.

You get "useless power".
Each limb (arm/leg/head/etc...) can only _use_ 1 Natural Attack per round.
So while each hand will have 2 Claws, you can only use 1 of them at a time.

Just because, I put together a build (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?354751-Bite-me!-%28a-pointless-optimization-build%29) once, that wound up with around a dozen bite attacks.
Still can only use one though.

EDIT: Ninjas!
