Monk: Difference between revisions

Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use Unarmed Strikes and Monk Weapons, which are any Simple Melee Weapons that don’t have the Two-Handed or Heavy Properties.<br>

By meditating you can focus your ki to learn how to best use a Weapon. At the end of a Long Rest, you touch up to two Weapons that you are Proficient with and that don’t have the Heavy Property. These weapons become Monk Weapons until you finish a Long Rest.<br>

You gain the following benefits while you are Unarmed or wielding only Monk Weapons and you aren’t wearing Armor or wielding a Shield:

*You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the Attack and Damage Rolls of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk Weapons.

*You can roll your Martial Arts Die in place of the normal Damage of your Unarmed Strike or Monk Weapon. This Die changes as you gain Levels in this class, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table, but starts as a d6.

*If you use a Versatile Weapon with Two-Hands as a Monk Weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to the Damage Roll of the Attack.

*When you take the Attack Action and use only an Unarmed Strike or a Monk Weapon on your turn, you can make a single Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action.
