Pharyngeal teeth for monsters
I was wondering how you would handle monsters with pharyngeal teeth like say some sort of giant frog that swallows a PC and then used his pharyngeal teeth to chew up the PC. (These are the teeth inside the throat of the animal that swallows prey whole then grinds up their prey). Maybe some magical monsters might even have some really nasty pharyngeal teeth. The pharyngeal teeth are best for monsters that swallow their prey whole and the pharyngeal teeth would prevent the PC from going into the stomach and using their weapon to try to cut themselves out.

Re: Pharyngeal teeth for monsters
When it lurks in a reef and has 2 sets of teeth, that's a moray.
When it's jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray. When an eel bites your thigh and you bleed out and die, that's a moray. OK, now that I have that out of my system, honestly, if it can swallow a human it might do so much damage in the initial attack you're dead before you hit the pharyngeal teeth. Maybe if it makes a critical success on the bite attack that swallows the pc it succeeds enough to get it far enough the throat for them to Make a new damage roll. Otherwise the creature has to roll next turn to swalow that deeply and the pc might be able to do something first. Now for a creature like a morray eel, see the link below for an illustration. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c3/71...44e079b9dd.png In this case it can't swallow you but on a critical success the pharyngeal jaws engage and do a new bite damage roll. In a morrays case the secondary damage would be less as they're smaller. Last edited by agentdenton; 07-10-2022 at 08:35 PM. |

To the OP: I had this on my site from ages ago: Quote:
a) a bite with the worrying ability, plus b) maybe extra damage only for worrying, plus c) maybe my One-Way Jaws above (or some variant).
