#Homebrew better unarmed strike 5e how to#
Then they go off and learns martial arts and comes back knowing how to do either 1d4+ (Str or Dex) slashing damage with their Natural Weapon, or1d4+ (Str or Dex) bludgeoning damage with their Unarmed Strike. The other aspect to consider is that Leonin could just innately not need training to use their claws as it is a part of their form, and players would need to consider the other RP aspects that answer why the Leonin decided to become a monk to begin with and lean more into that.Ī Leonin knows how to use its claws and brute force to do 1d4+Str slashing damage with their Natural Weapon, or their punches and kicks with brute force to do 1+Str bludgeoning damage with their Unarmed Strike. Basically what I mean is just ignore the whole you can reroll the weapon’s damage dice where it implies it only works for weapons bit and let it work for your Leonin's unarmed strikes. I'd just make a special case where a Leonin Monk's unarmed attacks count as a weapon in regards to the Savage Attacker feat possibly. Seems a playable race with natural weapons should get better at using those natural weapons with training versus a commoner of that race with no training. Doesn't training make them better in some negligible way? Know vital points, gets faster, something? Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
Even for non-monks, though, its still a weird natural weapon, in that it uses iteratives. a Leonin hits for 1d4 dmg, goes off and learns martial arts and still does 1d4 dmg. Unarmed strike is always a weapon, but it is not always a manufactured weapon- Thats reserved for monks.a human commoner hits for 1 dmg, goes off and learns martial arts and goes from doing 1 dmg to potentially 4 dmg.If you use Action Surge during this, you add two more strikes to this.Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creaturesįrom a role playing perspective I am thinking Each strike that lands adds +1 to the next attack and damage roll. At 18th level, you add +2 to improvised weapons.Īt 18th level, once per long rest, you may choose to keep attacking the same target with unarmed strikes, four times. At 18th level, you may throw a creature you are grappling (range 20/40) if they are no more than one size larger than you, dealing the same damage as an improvised weapon (without versatile) to both targets.Īt 15th level, you add +2 to all of your unarmed strikes' damage and attack rolls, and +1 to all of your improvised weapons' damage and attack rolls.
At 10th level, the damage is increased to 1d8.īeginning at 10th level, when you are grappling a creature, you may choose to slam them into a target, dealing the same damage as using an improvised weapon (without the versatile trait) to both targets. Additionally, their damage is treated as 1d6 + your Strength modifier with the Versatile trait (1d8 and two-handed if they're large enough). Starting at 7th level, you have proficiency in improvised weapons. When you take this archetype, at 3rd level, you may make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, provided you've landed at least one successful light weapon or unarmed strike attack. If you already have your unarmed strikes as powerful (or more so) than this, such as an Aarakocra's talons, add +1 to all attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes. At 10th level, the damage is upgraded to 1d6. When you choose this archetype, at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with your unarmed strikes, and they deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. Note: Fist weapons, such as gauntlets, claws, are counted as unarmed strikes (not in damage increase). This archetype is patented by the Germans. If bashing a dragon's face in with a chair as you sucker punch it sounds appealing, then this is the archetype for you. Though not an item, the Tavern Brawler feat will make your unarmed strikes do d4 damage instead of 1. Previous editions had non-magical items like the ward cestus, but they haven't been formatted over. While most fighters might stick to conventional methods of combat, some Fighters find themselves more at home in a chaotic situation, with almost none or even no weapons at all. Requirements Base Attack Bonus: +4 Skills: Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks Feats: Combat Casting, Combat Reflexes, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist. Nothing non-magical in 5e yet from any of the official books. An accurate picture of most Fighters who choose this archetype.
