I’m actually not sure how 5E works. If a monster makes an improvised weapon or unarmed attack, is it just adding strength? Or does it retain most of its damage dice and/or change die type? Unarmed strikes are 1 bludgeoning plus Strength modifier, no matter who makes one. — Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) July 21, […]
I purchased your book Morgrave Miscellany a while ago and might finally have a chance to play a pact of the host warlock. It seems like it’ll be a lot of fun, but I’m wondering if the symbiote has any way to make two attacks per turn with its unarmed strikes? Any recommendations, @RutyWoot ? […]

It seems like you’ve both said it does and does not work. Would you be willing to help us out by clarifying? Unarmed strikes are melee weapon attacks. And […]

All characters are proficient with their own unarmed strikes. Thus, you get the +2 Attack bonus on top of that. — Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) July 11, 2018
I know that I should this. Monks are proficient with their Unarmed Strikes right? Yes. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 28, 2018
@JeremyECrawford @SageAdviceDnD are gauntlets of ogre power considered magical for unarmed strikes or improvised weapon attack’s? — HTMauney (@HTMauney) March 22, 2018 A magic item's description details the item's magical properties. For example, if an item makes your unarmed strikes magical, the item's description says so. Gauntlets of ogre power don't say they make your […]
