All unarmed strikes count as weapon attacks. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 26, 2017 Question – why the term “weapon attack”? Seems to lead to lots of confusion. Why not something like martial attack vs. magic attack? It’s not ideal, but it’s what we’ve got for now. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 27, 2017 On […]
So a wild shaped tabaxi monk/Druid could use the beast's claws as unarmed strikes then? — The Taoist Jedi (@Taoist_Jedi) September 16, 2017 The tabaxi trait Cat's Claws lets you use the claws in that trait, not the claws of another form, to make unarmed strikes. #DnD https://t.co/HlNKJZXz42 — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 16, 2017
Hi! I was wondering what we use to determine an unarmed strike (to attack). Dex +mods vs armor class? What if it’s a fistfight? should be str mod + proficiency for attack bonus — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) June 29, 2017

@JeremyECrawford Does an enlarged monk get 1d4 extra dmg on unarmed attacks? It says weapon attack. but larger fists should hurt more right? — The Ward (@TheWardVG) September 14, 2016 Being larger than Medium doesn't change a monk's Martial Arts dice. #DnD https://t.co/pL6C9vdhjW — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 15, 2016 @jaa0109 @TheWardVGNote: That’s an official […]
@ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls I'm thinking of running Curse of Strahd. What kind of weapons would he use instead of an unarmed attack? — KingFergonManyArrows (@Mr_Sinister25) August 18, 2016 A mean DM would give him Blackrazor from the DMG, page 216. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/Afy5Id5chM — (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 18, 2016
@KYLEigayahan_mocan you have the fighters duelist for unarmed strikes? Do you get the +2? Unarmed Strikes aren't technically a weapon, so RAW would say nope! — Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) August 4, 2016
