The <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/er/20030221a" target="_blank">3.5 FAQ</a> (if desired) says:"Can a monk take Improved Natural Attack (MonsterManual, page 304) to improve his unarmed strike?Yes. As stated on page 41 of the Player’s Handbook, amonk’s unarmed strike “is treated as both a manufacturedweapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells andeffects that enhance or improve either” which includes featssuch as Improved Natural Attack.Barring multiclassing, the earliest a monk could take thisfeat would be at 6th level (due to the base attack bonusprerequisite), at which point her unarmed strike damage wouldimprove from 1d8 to 2d6 (which represents an average increaseof +2.5 points of damage). The same monk at 20th level woulddeal 4d8 points of damage with her unarmed strike."Based on the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=149266" target="_blank">poll results</a> provided earlier, the majority of players seem to agree with this. Also, it would certainly be allowed in an RPGA game (since the RPGA follows the FAQ).Still, best to ask your DM.</blockquote>
