Notes

•  Tavern Brawler adds your Strength modifier a second time giving 1 + Strength modifier + Strength modifierBludgeoning damage total.
• Monk's  Martial Arts: Deft Strikes replaces the 1 base damage of Unarmed Strike with 1d4. This increases to 1d6 at Monk level 3 and 1d8 at Monk level 9.
• Monk's  Martial Arts: Dextrous Attacks may replace the Strength damage scaling with the Dexterity modifier if it is higher. Note that the bonus damage from Tavern Brawler will always use the Strength modifier.
• Most buffs and abilities that specify "weapon" attacks, such as the Paladin's  Divine Smite and the Barbarian's  Rage bonus damage will not apply to unarmed strikes.
