So here's the deal... I plan on enchanting my main weapon, a pair of gauntlets, a set of armor spikes, a shield, and every hidden weapon in complete scoundrel (e.g. boot blade, sleeve blade, etc.) with the Morphing special ability (8k a pop), and then turn them all into natural weapons .

Is that feasible? While they are considered as light weapons, is there a "handedness" value such that they are eligible for Morphing into?

Where is it written that all natural weapons are light weapons? Unarmed strike (which is actually weaponless) is considered a light natural weapon, but that's a special case.

Sorry, don't think this works out. Natural weapons don't have sizes/handedness like martial weapons do, and are in an entirely different (but similar) loop of only-primary-secondary.

Special
A fighter may select Weapon Finesse as one of his fighter bonus feats.
Natural weapons are always considered light weapons.

As for handedness, that's where I'm outta luck.

That's not the only problem. From the Glossary definition (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_naturalweapon&alpha=N):
natural weapon

Natural weapons are weapons that are physically a part of a creature. Morphing doesn't have any special provisions whereby it will attach the weapon to your body.

Maybe it does it Alex Mercer style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RahEtkVxAPA#t=139)?

Natural weapons are light weapons with special rules, i.e. you get 1.5x Str Bonus if you have no other weapons, as opposed to regular light weapons where even if you wield it with two hands you don't get the 1.5.

Illithid weapon grafts to the rescue? It's like a less broken warshaper XD
