Hi there, I'd like to get a clarification on the Corpsefolk Rip, Tear ancestry feat:

Quote:
Your skull plates or teeth have grown sharper over time, or you have painstakingly carved them to do maximum damage when using them in combat. Your unarmed jaws attack now inflicts 1d6 persistent bleed damage on a successful hit (double on a critical hit). If your weapon damage ever increases, the number of dice for your bleed damage also increases by the same amount.

The last sentence is unusual my first intuition is to read

Quote:
As the number of damage dice of your weapon increases, So does the number of dice of your bleed damage.

But the second part of the sentence ends with

Quote:
... increases by the same amount

which makes think that we are more talking about a die size increase (i.e. 1D6 --> 1D8)

How do you understand this ?


If you get two dice of jaws damage, you deal 2d6 bleed. Three dice of jaws damage means 3d6 bleed, and so on.

This is what I think how it should be understood, though the formulation could cover a feat like Deadly simplicity that would upgrade the jaws damages from 1D6 to 1D8, does the bleed damages would move from 1D6 to 1D8 ?

That would be a change in the size of the dice, not the number of dice, so no.
