I gotta say... the bunch of you whining about this fake are infinitely more annoying than it ever could be by being fake.

2d4+2 average damage is (2+8)/2 + 2 = 7 damage
You say a human bite should be at most half that
1d4 - 2 is an average of (1+4)/2 - 2= 0.5 damage
Isn't that way too low?
2d4+2 is the bite attack of a wolf, not a dog, a dog bite is way lower that the one of a wolf. Also, I guess I could have wrote better my proposed human bite damage as max(1d4-2, 0) that gives a average of 0.75.
I don’t think 7 vs 0.75 is accurate. A single wolf bite would fuck you up, to be sure. But this implies that a human bite is about as dangerous as a mousetrap… which, let’s be honest, is virtually nothing. Humans are capable of biting through not only skin and muscle, but to the bone, and even through the bone in certain cases.
And that is the bite of a commoner, you think a lvl 20 barbarians bite wouldn’t go straight through most bone?
