Uplifted Duck beak striker or not?
Tinkering with some uplift stats, this one is from a Scoter Duck, and wondered if this was okay:
Striker (Cannot Parry, -40%) Blunt Beak Thr+1 [3]; Striking ST 2 (Beak only, -50%) [5]. Badly modeled?

Re: Uplifted Duck beak striker or not?
Any particular reason for a blunt beak to not just be a default bite attack?

Re: Uplifted Duck beak striker or not?
Thank you!
Striker (Cannot Parry, -40%) Blunt Beak Thr+1 [3]; Striking ST 2 (Beak only, -60%) [4]. I'm including Weak Bite and smacking someone with the beak has comedic value over being savagely nipped. Add in that the typical armour will be practically impervious to Imp but vulnerable to crushing and it becomes threateningly funny. Also, the Scoter has a typical blunt duck beak and, although Imp damage is tempting, I thought better to keep the shape... And it'll be a humanoid, black duck who can't talk properly?

He'll either be a cult icon amongst Scooters or a "whatever you do, don't mention the D word".
I guess it is, as psychotime said, simpler and cheaper to just use Beak. But it'd have to be blunt, Thr Cr? (And Striker is meant to be an added body part, doh!)

Thank you - that is a very good reason to spend 3cp.
