Feat to add a Bite


Advice


Rolling up a Catfolk Ninja and wanting to go natural attack with it. Is there a Feat to add a bite as an attack? I was surprised that Catfolk dont have it as an option.


Extra Traits -> Adopted (Half Orc) -> Tusked

And whatever other trait you want.

It is a common mistake, but Adopted gives you a Race trait, not a Racial Trait. Racial Traits (such as Tusked) are from the race section, not from the Trait. Race Traits are things like Almost Human, Brute, Outcast, and Scrapper.

As for bite, I do not know a feat that allows it, but there might be some style feat you can use.


or alternately you can ask your gm if he'll just allow it. Seems reasonable for a catfolk. D3 or d4 damage? Maybe usable only upon a successful grapple?


Toothy is the Half-Orc Racial Trait that grants a bite, not Tusked. At least that's what I'm seeing.

Unless I'm completely insane there's also a Race Trait that grants Half-Orcs a Bite and it's called Tusked. That said, now I can't find it. Mother's Teeth is a thing, but it's a Religion trait for goblins and is really terrible.

Hrm. Maybe I am insane.

No, you're right, Dadydd's totally wrong.


Ha. Vindication. d20 didn't have it so I was doubting myself.

One of the few times I am glad I am wrong. That said, I did check d20 before posting too. Wonder why they do not have that treat on there...

Oh well, Problem solved for the OP.


Feat? no, but you could go with a level dip in oracle with the wolfscarred face curse, dual curse for deafened will negate the verbal component issue if you ever want to cast, you can get a mystery too, which might be useful for you... such as sidestep secret.

it'll give you a few spells as well, since I'm assuming your charisma will be decent, you might as well take advantage of them eh?


Two feats.

Skill focus diplomacy, eldritch heritage serpentine bloodline. You get fangs for a bite and they do ability score damage.


As above describes, the adopted trait technically can get you a bite attack via the half-orc's Tusked trait - though I find it really hard to swallow that being adopted by half-orcs could somehow grant you a PHYSICALLY orcish maw.


That is a very nice bite but is limited in the number to rounds/day. Still possible worthy it. Not being secondary is nice.


For any core race that is true but it makes sense for catfolk. Just make it a race trait available to any race decent teeth and note that adopted does not let you take it.

Or it represents surgery.

And as faqs describe race and racial traits arent the same so no it cant..

You can take a tieflings shadow stabber but not darkness

Just get a ring of rat fangs. Only 5000 gp, and unlike the half-orc trait, it's not secondary.

Actually, there are three ways for a half orc to gain a bite. There is the Toothy alternate racial trait, the Tusked race trait, and the Razortusk feat.

You can't use adopted to take Toothy, but you can use it to take Tusked.

Toothy:

Source Advanced Race Guide pg. 1 (Amazon), Advanced Player's Guide pg. 1 (Amazon)
Some half-orcs’ tusks are large and sharp, granting a bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d4 points of piercing damage. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.


I would allow razortusk as well as tusked for any race that it makes sense for. I can see catfolk, goblin, orc, half orc and maybe some other.

The ring is probably the best way to, but 5K for a non big 6 item is quite painful before 7th or 8th level.

I can also see giving up cat's luck for a bite.
