Medium sized feral gnasher


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

So, I'm building a human feral gnasher (via the racial heritage feat), and I'm wondering if the bite attack damage increases automatically to 1d6, instead of 1d4 for being a different size category. It makes sense to me, but I want to be sure that the archetype doesn't supersede the die type increase for size.


I wouldn't do it.

If you look at the animal fury rage power, you'll note that medium characters typically have a d4 and small the d3.

I'd guess goblins get a d4 out of the gate, since they tend to have teeth a bit better suited to a bite attack.

A human, who does not, I'd stick with the d4 base.

But that's just me.

Dunno if there's any specific rules on this sort of thing.

Though the image of a human feral gnasher seems wierd... Mike Tyson wannabe?

Very well, I suppose 1d4 plus grab will have to be okay.

I'm fluffing it as a little girl, who throws tantrums, bites people and then latches on. This is the rebuild that I'm finally getting around to for my PFS undead lord librarian. I tend to build characters for the express purpose of amusing myself

I love the idea, but if this is for society fair warning:

"To create an dhampir, fetchling, goblin, ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, sylph, undine, or wayang character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation.
Note: Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it (for example, only halflings can purchase and use solidsmoke pipeweed).
The new alchemist discovery on page 44 is legal for play for characters of all races."

My Venture captain said this meant humans cannot access those feats and archetypes even with racial heritage.

Grand Lodge

Sigh. I suppose I could always just turn him into a summoner whose imaginary friend is the cookie monster, and more or less has the same schtick, but getting access to swallow whole.

Thank you for your help though.
