“Flagstones many they tore from the vast castle floor, but laid no treasure bare”
Proud king, rich king, of the height of his castle did gloat
Until the day some patriot pushed him off a turret
And he had time to utter every cussword he knew with haste to slur it
In the long, fatal plunge to the muddy depths of his moat— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 11, 2019
1)
Flagstones many they tore from the vast castle floor, but laid no treasure bare
Though bards’ tales said it’d be found in huge heaps lying around, all eyes blinded by the gleaming glare 2)
Their hopes sank, so being adventurers they drank, such hard-seasoned drunkards you’ll seldom see
So they dug a deep but treasureless hole, in earth and stone as well as everyone’s wizened soul, I know because the last one left is me— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 11, 2019
How Path of the Beast might stack with Tavern Brawler?
You have answered your own question. 🙂
Improvised weapons, unarmed strikes, and natural weapons are all different things.

Path of the Beast:does the attack from Form of the Beast have to be from your attack action?
Love the subclasses! Small warning though, im pretty sure that a lvl 5 barb with 2 lvls in fighter can make 6 attacks at advantage? maybe making the claw attack a bonus action could help balance it out since barbs dont use their bonus actions much. Glad you like them! We're aware of the potential, we'll see how it shakes out. 🙂

can’t tell from the RAW, does the attack from Form of the Beast have to be from your attack action, or can it be done with your bonus action like in two weapon fighting? does the attack from Form of the Beast have to be from your attack actionTo get the extra claw attack, you must make a claw attack with your Attack action.
Side note: natural weapons aren't eligible for two-weapon fighting.

Ahhh, right, two-weapon fighting specifies needing to have a weapon in the RAW doesn’t it. It’s why you can’t just go in and box with your two 1+str fists.It specifies a weapon you are holding.
Natural weapons are weapons, not unarmed strikes, but you aren't holding them.

Is Gunslinger official or still on DMsguild only?
Is gunslinger official or still on DMsguild only? Apologies if this has been answered before. Gunslinger, as are my other home brews outside of this upcoming book, aren’t official as they haven’t been published by WotC directly. However, I’m ever tweaking and learning, and who knows…maybe one day. <3

Path of the Beast: lot of debate now about being able to hold a weapon and use the claws
Lot of debate now about being able to hold a weapon and use the claws from Path of the Beast. Allowing something like a Greatsword, Claw, Claw and still having a Bonus Action available. personally I don’t think thats correct. what say you, sir? That works. As long as one of your Attack action attacks is with the claws you can make an extra claw attack. The Extra Attack can be made with a weapon or unarmed strike, whatever.
— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) January 16, 2020
For a Greatsword it makes sense, what about two hand axes or shortswords? I assume you need an empty hand to make a Claw attack but others believe otherwise Unless the DM is allowing something weird like Wolverine claws, yeah you’d need a free hand. The conception is clawed fingertips, need a free hand to make the attack.

I still wonder with the lingtooth BA bite, does the beast increase the damage die for that? Or do his teeth shrink once a turn? The shifter's teeth explode. #WotCStaff
— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) January 16, 2020
More seriously, strict read the shifter's bonus action bite is an unarmed strike that uses its own damage and rules.
I wouldn't be shocked if a DM allowed a Path of the Beast shifter to use their Form of the Beast bite damage.
