In my own campaign I would make it an item creation feat "Graft Magic
Weapon/Armor" and allow those Xixchill who have the feat to do so. As to the
energy drain question, I would say that use of natural weapons would incur
an energy drain, and use of grafted weapons would not. The rationale (this
is all off the top of my head BTW) being that the grafted weapons are not
actually part of the organism. Now this does not take into account the murky
arguments on conductivity or other issues, but does provide a quick and
simple ruling for these situations.
BTW, anyone have any info on the body modification abilities of the Xixchil?
I have been looking for a 3.5 edition conversion and cannot find one.
