Slade speculation. Formerly a discussion on Natural attacks.

They would care if you picked an okish feat and used it? A natural attack of 1d3 or 4 plus half strength averages like three extra damage if it hits, which it probably won't due to the -5 to hit it has. That's a way worse return than something like Power attack and it doesn't scale when you level. And you can only use it on a full attack.

It does 1d8 but yeah, they probably would. At least one player and the DM hardly have the best concept of power. And on that game I already do have power attack. I'm probably not getting as much out of that as I could though.

To be clear, the DM thinks Monks are overpowered and wizards are underpowered. I don't know why and don't care why. I'm not going to change his mind without playing a wizard or shoving the evidence in his face at which point he'd just think "Why do you care so much?"
