Converting Bite / Claw Damage to Bludgeoning?


Rules Questions


Is there a way to convert Bite and Claw damage to the Bludgeoning type? I ask because im interested in using the Sap Adept/Master feats with natural bite/claw attacks.

Bite is all 3 damage types as I recall.

Claws I do not remember.

I'd recommend checking the Bestiary for further info.


I didnt realize, Bite is all three and claw is b/s, so im all good thanks!

It's only all three in most cases. A Toothy Half-Orc only gets piercing, for example.


I think the idea is that it CAN BE any of the damage types, which each type of tooth formation and claw type being different.

A shark would be slashing damage, a hippo would be bludgeoning, a bear's claw would be equal parts slashing and bludgeoning due to the sheer weight of the swing.
