Rules Questions


Here's a question, regarding multiples of the same attack, from different sources.

Level 2 Barbarian Half-orc. Look Razortusk (bite 1d4+str) as level 1 feat. Level 2 took Animal Fury (bite 1d4+ 1/2str) for Barbarian trick.

Assuming player doesn't care about provoking AoO for unarmed attacks, can they rage and go Bite, Bite, unarmed strike, unarmed strike?

If not, why not? The feat/rage power grants them a bite attack, so the Orc has sharp teeth, and then the ferocity of raging gives them enough gaul to bite someone anyway (do note the different in str bonus. Razortusk is full str mod, animal fury is only half).

I imagine it's not possible, because you can't punch and swing a sword with the same hand, so having two reasons you CAN bite is not the same as having two mouths to bite with. More like "choose a reason to bite and use that."

I don't think that getting "bite" from a second source also imples getting a second set of jaws.

Unless this guy is temping from the set of "How to get ahead in advertising."

A generous DM might let you boost the damage on the bite from d4 to d6.

AFAIK, there is no rule covering what happens when you get a bite from two different sources.


Actually I like your bite damage dice upsize, good solution. We've seen it several times before, an ability going up a step when received from 2 sources, so they have sharp teeth and KNOW how to bite. Cheers!
