Magic weapon for biters

[Aaedimus]

I'm pretty sure I thought there was like a maw that lizardfolk could wear that acted as a magic weapon for their bite attack???

I don't remember its name? Or where it's from? Can't find it. A little help anyone?

[VonKaiserstein]

Oooh, with the Lizardfolks penchant for self made things... what if you were to use magical arrows or bolts for teeth? Carefully remove the heads, use them to replace your teeth.

Bullet Tooth Tony.

Maybe offer the DM the idea that they come off in the target on a natural 1.

I know there is the Insignia of Claws from Hoard of the Dragon Queen, page 94 for unarmed strikes and natural weapons. Technically that would work for a bite attack to since that's a natural weapon.

I'm not sure about a bite specific one though.

That's what it was! Thanks!

I don't see anything in Volo's about biting enhancers. A lizardfolk bite(1d6) already does more damage than a steel bear trap(1d4).

We have a guy in our group that thinks he gets to bite and swing a weapon every round with his first level lizardfolk monk. I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

It is wrong. As a lizardfolk you have the option to attack with your jaws instead of a weapon attack.

once per day you can use Hungry Jaws that allows for a bonus action attack with your jaws and you get some temp HP if you hit.

It's not wrong, his bite counts as an unarmed strike. Monks, from level 1, can use Martial Arts to take the Attack Action using a monk weapon or unarmed strike and then an unarmed strike Bonus Action attack.

You're confusing Hungry Jaws with their Bite racial feature. They can Bite whenever they feel like it.

Hungry Jaws is also once per Short or Long Rest.

Aw crud, you are completely right. You can't use Hungry Jaws every round, only once er day. However, you do get the Monk martial arts with an unarmed strike and the jaw does replace an unarmed strike.

My mistake guys. I was reading the lizardfolk abilities looking for answers, not the monk abilities where the answers are. Thanks for clearing that up.
