Legendary Biters?
« on: December 06, 2010, 06:50:31 pm »
I'm curious if anyone has ever gotten a legendary biter and how effective they are. It has a lot of novelty potential.

Dang, now I'm really curious as well!  I'm afraid it's the kind of skill that might go away from being selectable at character creation, though!

I played a Grand Master Biter for a while in adventure mode.  The actual biting didn't seem particularly effective, but if I bit a limb and shook it would get torn off pretty reliably.

So... all of your legendary biters are also legendary smiths?

Did you hear?
Urist and Catten had a fight yesterday and she bit his face clean off!
Blood was tracked all over the dininghall.

if you look at my thread (still should be on the first page of adventure forum) I talk about how biting > everything else in adventure mode.  Biting disables, and tear off limbs, and while you are shaking them they can only counter but if you mix this with dodge i have yet to be hit.  I believe that's because getting ahold of someone greatly lowers there accuracy; specially if you bite there left arm/hand.  They also can't run away; possibly attack slower too (but i'm an agi junky).
