Fear Inducement question

[SweetDao]

Should be a simple question, but let's assume two characters fight.

Character B thinks that Character A is weaker than him/will be easily beaten, but then, Character B gets destroyed by Character A. So much, in fact, that Character B can't even think of a way to beat Character A and forfeit their "match" because he realized no matter how injured Character A is, he'll still go on.

Would that be "Fear Inducement" ? Wouldn't "Social Influencing" be more suitable?

Tbh I dont think its either, if Character B only got scared after they were beaten that is just being beaten

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Since you're there, would using your teeth to bite your opponent in a fight after you've lost the usage of your arms/legs considered "Bodily Weaponry" ?

Conventional​

"Natural weapons found in the real world, such as claws, teeth, fangs, horns, beaks, stingers, spikes, antlers, tusks etc.."

Yes

I'm confused. Wouldn't every human character get Bodily Weaponry for being able to bite someone else? I can get the logic for animals or fictional races/individual, but a regular human biting someone being listed as "Bodily Weaponry" is... weird.

You are underastimating our teeth, maybe it is less than like an lion but it is still pretty lethal. I agree though its kinda stupid to make it an ability

No, since a regular human can "bite" the opponent as well. However, such a feat including "Lost the usage of arms and legs", and if he has received damage that would have killed a regular human, it could be Supernatural Willpower[since at that point, a normal human would have lost consciousness or even died] or Berserk[if he loses his consciousness, or near such a state, and just bites the target instinctively out of rage]

As for this, I don't think its either here as well. Character B is just making a logical decision here

This is the feat btw, maybe it will change your mind (or not).

I dont know how we handle human teeth tbh, the page implies teeth are enough for the ability

Maybe it depends on if the character frequently uses their teeth in combat instead of just biting as a last resort and/or if the teeth have some kind of special property that makes them more effective as a weapon than normal teeth?
