![]() L1 twf fighter: 1d6+dex/str + 1d6 + dex/str = 2*dex/str+7, usually 13Ībsolutely nothing breaks with my interpretation if the fighter takes unarmed fighting style: L1 monks are clearly designed to compete directly with twf fighters, by the way. Among other changes, this means their punches cap out at 1d12, not 1d10. **I don't like the PHB's scaling, and I think monks should hit harder, so I would change their martial arts die to match their proficiency die. ![]() *Anyone with the unarmed fighting style hits harder with unarmed strikes - monks get this as well, but with level-dependent, weird scaling. **I think this is stupid as well, and I would probably just give them genuine finesse on their unarmed strikes, so a monk-rogue can function as expected. *Monks and only monks get pseudo-finesse on their unarmed strikes. *Anyone with the two-weapon fighting style adds their ability modifier to the offhand attack Monks functionally get this, but only for unarmed strikes. *Absolutely anyone can engage in two-weapon fighting, counting one or two different body parts as unarmed strike weapons. If you rule it that way, my question is: what are you giving to the Monks to replace the feature of theirs that just became an everyone thing ?You mean how they get the two-weapon fighting style with unarmed attacks? I'm not extending that to anyone. Same thing for if they require a weapon but houserule that unarmed strikes count as weapons. ![]() A GM that simply tosses the material component requirement out entirely and merely mandates that you make a weapon attack as part of the spell is allowing Sorcerers, who can already use Quickened Booming Blade with a sword, to use it with an unarmed strike. For example, I expect most GMs to house-rule in some fashion Booming Blade and Green-flame Blade's monetary requirement, since RAW that means neither spell works with most magic weapons, as they don't have costs. There are corner-cases that are GM-dependent, like the dual wielder feat we just discussed. Battlemaster fighters can do the same thing but worse, spending an attack and a bonus action and a reaction and a superiority die to punch someone with the superiority die added to damage. I would always let you twf with punches - that should be easier than doing it with clubs, and you can do it with clubs - but it's a hard sell that the RAW supports it, even with the feat.įor OP: This also costs a reaction, but an order cleric can cast healing word on themselves as a bonus action, then use their reaction to make a weapon attack, which can be an unarmed strike. And since this is 5E, we don't have any game definitions for the word. It's a big stretch to claim that an unarmed fighter is wielding anything, let alone dual-wielding. Yeah, but in common parlance, no-one thinks you're wielding your fists or that a cat is wielding its claws. ![]()
