Would a monk's unarmed strikes count for Hunter's mark then? I thought they replaced weapon strikes but weren't actually melee weapons? — Darkest (@AeonNightmare) October 27, 2018 Every attack in D&D is either a weapon attack or a spell attack.

PHB Errata says unarmed “[doesn’t] count as weapons.” Sage Advice says they are considered melee weapon attacks. Clarify?Both of those statements are true. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) August 31, 2017 In D&D, a weapon is an object. A weapon attack is a process.
