Kolava 07-02-03, 12:29 AM	In D&D, variable damage always has a minimum of 1. The only reason the damage is listed in this way instead of being simplified as "1" is because the creature's strength or size can be altered. (changing the dice or the modifier)
Abein 07-02-03, 12:29 AM	that it does just that...1d3-4 damage wich in most cases is minimum 1...critical hits best case scenerio is it would do 6 (with a x2 multiplier that is) -4 wich is 2 big hitter
Kolava 07-02-03, 12:30 AM	Actualy, I believe a negative modifier to damage due to low strength is multiplied into a critical hit, so this animal would deal 2d3-8

Kolava 07-02-03, 12:01 PM	Or, under a slightly different twist of the rules, the animal would do 1d3-4 or 1, and then the result would be doubled and become 2.
