I gotta say… the bunch of you whining about this fake are infinitely more annoying than it ever could be by being fake.
A dagger does d4 damage. A dagger is not a small knife, it’s like 8 inches of blade. Compared to that, a human bite should be like a d2 on the high side.
The stronger muscles of a human body is the one of their jaw. A bite can do serious damage. And when you dagger will cut or stab, your bite will ripe away skin and flesh.
Plus, human bites can carry a lot of bacteria and whatnot, so arguably some of that damage should be poison or necrosis damage.
Honestly it’s all an abstraction anyway but I absolutely would not bring my chompers to a knife fight.
What are you going to do? Leave them at the inn? You can absolutely bring them with you and use them as the opportunity arises. Just because it’s a knife fight and you have a knife doesn’t mean you can only use the knife…
The thing with human mouths, though, is that they’re gross. A dagger will fuck you up, but a mouth may hurt at the time, and then later it’s ✨BACTERIA TIME✨. I think maybe they can get a little bonus for that.
How much is a bite attack from a dog or a wolf? A human bite would be at most half the bite of a dog.
Average peasant has 4 hp. Max average strike of a dagger does 4 damage. Even if it doesn’t strike a vital area, if you get a full, solid, clean hit with that blade, they dead.
If you crit, i.e. hit a vital spot. They definitely dead and the 8inch blade might even take out a tougher boy.
Damage is supposed to imply how effective the strike is on a hit. A 1 is a decent slice or puncture. Possible stitches, not guaranteed. 2 damage? That’s a good shank. Stitches recommended, gonna need some medical attention, picture getting stabbed in the hand or getting a slice across the arm or leg. 3 damage? That person is WOUNDED they won’t keep fighting if it isn’t life or death picture a meaty stab to the bicep or shoulder or side, nowhere critical, but you know you can’t take another hit. And 4 is death.
OP didn’t wash their mouth out at any point before the hospital? Red flag and mouth right there.
Also, if the story is true, that’s a fucking terrible nurse (and person) for not reporting it - dude could be in a domestic abuse situation getting stitches and she’s just like “yeah whatever”
That is 100% what she thought. I have no doubt about it. There are far too many people that come in that accidentally fell on a 12 inch girthy vegetable.
Would’ve been better if they said he had to get a rabies vaccine.
The chances of getting rabies is extremely small, but the second you say that will result in them immediately vaccinating you for the sake of safety as that window can close fairly quickly. And if you change your story they typically don’t care because people scared of vaccines change their story all the time.
Yeah, it’s deranged. You didn’t spit out or wipe your mouth? You have another human’s meat and blood in your mouth and you just casually went with them to hospital like you’re wearing lipstick?
I’m not buying it.
And the nurse laughed, and the doctor laughed, and the gurney laughed.
A gurney is a device used to move a patient who can’t easily walk and needs to lie flat. Unlike a stretcher, a gurney has wheels so that it doesn’t need to be carried. When an EMT transports a patient from an ambulance into a hospital emergency room, she uses a gurney.
I appreciate the explanation but… https://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/98/Jul/gazebo.html
That happened.
A commoner(your average person) has 4hp. It would be difficult to kill someone in 1 bite unless you went right to the throat. 1 d4 is more than enough damage, and imo is actually too much for a single bite from a human.
