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.
Yeah, like a week later...
You sound like someone who hasn't been bit.
Honestly it's all an abstraction anyway but I absolutely would not bring my chompers to a knife fight.
That's more about range though, isn't it?
I'm not sure, I think the stabber will do more harm per second than the chomper.
If you bite an artery even a human can kill something. You can bite of a finger if you want to. The problem is people only think of biting in " I chomp and then I let go" instead of " I bite and do not let go but pull bake so I tear that chunk of the person off".
Have fun getting to that artery. If someone is not holding still for you it's extremely lucky to do that.
Especially while getting stabbed.
Hell yeah.
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...
That's very true, although I'd love to play the kind of character who pulls their teeth out when they don't think they'll be needing them.
