[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8190640, member: 72555"] So starting with a generous interpretation, what do you get? [LIST] [*]You have a Fanged Bite. It is bite and a natural weapon and a simple melee weapon and you are proficient in it. [*]You add your Constitution modifier to the attack and damage rolls when you attack with your bite. This is along side your strength bonus, not instead! [*]Your bite deals 1d4 piercing damage on a hit. [*]You have advantage when you are bloodied with this bite. [*]You can empower a bite prof mod times/day. [/LIST] We then mix in the barbarian [B]Bite.[/B] Your mouth transforms into a bestial muzzle or great mandibles (your choice). It deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you damage a creature with this bite, you regain a number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, provided you have less than half your hit points when you hit. This bite is implicitly an unarmed attack. But it does make your mouth deal 1d8 damage, and your Fanged Bite is also your mouth. So your Fanged Bite is upgraded to 1d8 damage. And you regain prof bonus HP if you are bloodied and hit with it. A 16 con 18 strength barbarian at level 5 in rage has a +3+4+3=+10 to hit bite that deals 1d8+9(13.5) x2 (27) damage. If bloodied, this attack has advantage and heals the barbarian 3 HP. 3 times per day they can heal for the full damage of the bite, or get a large bonus to their next attack roll/check. In comparison, a human PAM/GWM barbarian making a reckless attack with a +1 weapon and 16 strength has a +2 to hit with advantage for 2d10+1d4+48 = 61.5 damage, plus a bonus attack on approach. The big thing is the crazy accuracy of the bite, because as written the Dhampir gets +con and +str to hit with it. I suspect Dhampir might be reworded to "constitution instead", which makes this far less strong. [/QUOTE]
