So many ways!

A two-level dip into Totemist gets you pretty much any natural weapon you can imagine. A Warshaper lets you grow natural weapons willy-nilly. There's a whole line of Bite of the WereX spells that gives you exactly what you'd think, as well as a Bite of the Wolf psionic power. I could go on.

If I remember well there's an Half Orc (alternative?) trait that gives you a bite attack

It's Pathfinder (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/core-races/half-orc); scroll to the bottom of the page.


Toothy: Some Half-orcs’ vestigial tusks are massive and sharp, granting a bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d4 points of piercing damage. This racial trait replaces the orc ferocity racial trait.

If you're going the Pathfinder Half-Orc route, there's also this feat (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/razortusk).

Edit: If you're a barbarian, there's a rage power (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/barbarian/rage-powers/paizo---rage-powers/animal-fury-ex).

Edit 2: If you're using Psionics Unleashed (psionics for Pathfinder), there's the Ophiduan (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/races/ophiduan) race.

Edit 3: The Serpentine Bloodline (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/bloodlines/bloodlines-from-paizo/serpentine-bloodline) gives fangs :P

You forgot the easiest and most permanent of them all my friend! Contracting lycanthropy! :smalltongue:

The easiest way is to actually take a one-level dip into the shapeshifter druid variant class (PHB II). And yes, you heard me, I just told you to dip druid. (I think this may be a first on this board)

Anyway, one level dip will grant you the at-will power to shift as a swift action into a panther or a wolf, gaining a bite attack with 1d6 damage, as well as a +4 enhancement bonus to your Strength score and 40 ft speed. (You also get 1st level druid spellcasting, so, eh, carry a sprig of holly and cast some lesser vigors on yourself). Unlike wild shape, you can stay shifted indefinitely, and you can also shift back and forth as many times as you want, since the ability is at-will.

I believe you also gain +4 natural armor, so there's a free Chain Shirt at level 1.

Now the consequences for doing this are heavier than you might think. First of all, to dip druid at all one component of your alignment must be neutral. Second, if you wear any prohibited metal armor, you still lose all your druid-ness, including your shapeshifting, for 24 hours.

Still, that's a free belt of giant strength +4 and amulet of natural armor +4, as well as an at-will bite attack and a 10 ft enhancement bonus to speed, all for a one-level dip, at level one. I think it's a pretty nice boon for a fighter.

eey thanks for all the help

I should have given some more information We play regular 3,5 with the furyondy gazetteer(although on request more can be open) which also bans the bite of the were* line.

cheers

It might not be helpful, but you could use the Shifter from Eberron with the longtooth trait as a templete. I mean if shifters dont fit in your campaign you can just say he's something else, or just some werewolf spawned freak.

Dragon Disciple 2 gets a bite attack. Obviously Wildshaping or Polymorphing into something that has a bite. The Hunger domain, and the Fangs of the Vampire King spell (both from Libris Mortis) give you a Bite attack.

...weirdly enough, Vampires do not gain a bite attack. Never noticed that before. Apparently you have to be a Vampire King to get one. :smallbiggrin:

[gallagher]

there is a race in stormwrack, forget the name and AFB, but it gives you a bite attack, as well as a natural swim speed

The Hunger domain power (Spell Compendium) gives you a bite attack. If you don't want to dip cleric, try Planar Touchstone -> Catalogues of Enlightenment to pick up a domain power of your choice.

Kobolds are a core race... if you update them with the Races of the Dragon Web Enhancement (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060420a), they get a bite and two claw attacks.

Fanged Mask (8300 GP, MIC p. 99) will give you a bite attack.

Darfallen is the race. They have kinda a crippled land speed, though.

And as always, Person Man has an app guide (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7066595) for that.

Furyondy, eh? I played in that region during the days of Living Greyhawk. Watch out for rogue fire mages and anyone who claims to be the king's son!

:P

Could a limited wish grand a permanent bite attack?

No, that is not one of the listed uses of the spell.
