Notes
adds your Strength modifier a second time giving 1 + Strength modifier + Strength modifier
Bludgeoning damage total.- Monk's
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
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. - Many buffs and abilities that specify "weapon" attacks, such as the Paladin's
, will not apply to unarmed strikes. - For a comprehensive list of effects that interact with unarmed strikes, see List of features and items that interact with unarmed strikes.
- Items and features that add a damage roll to unarmed strikes without Monk's will cause the damage tooltip to display as 0d20 + Strength modifier + the additional bonus damage. The base bludgeoning damage is still dealt correctly.
