LOL, that's amazing.

Also, d4 is the damage of a dagger, which is a weapon made specifically to kill people and has a ~25% chance of killing a commoner (who typically has 4 hp) in one hit with just the rolled damage.

Exactly. I mean it's a cute story but I 100% still thinks that is 1d4 damage lol

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Not even 1d4. It's just 1 + STR, which is standard for an unarmed strike.

I'm not looking to get married, but keep in mind it's a Barbarian bite. So the biter's half-feral and accustomed to gnawing on raw meat.

thats why the d4 has +strength modifier though

But imagine a barbarian bit a DM, and then some guy who hit the gym a lot and could lift as much as the barbarian bit an identical DM. I maintain that the barbarian would do more damage, due to a lifetime of e.g. breaking bones with their mouth, gnawing the bark off a tree, etc.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

but why would a barbarian do all those things? the barbarian class is just a strong and tough guy who gets angry, not an actual barbarian that eats bark and stuff like that

i mean they can be but they can also be simple people who are strong and get angry easily (without doing what people would call barbarities)

I'd give it a flat 1HP, if that. Unless you get me in the neck, I doubt any human bite would take 25% of this commoners HP.
