How does Dragon Roar work?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

The feat says that a 15'cone issues from the monk doing his unarmed damage to all in the area. Is that just the monk's unarmed damage roll from the class table? Does it include the effect of items like the monk robe or stat bonuses? What about amulet of the mighty fist?

Essentially, the feat seems unclear whether this is a simple die roll at whatever die a monk of your level would use, or an actual damage roll for one of your unarmed attacks. At the investment of 2 uses of stunning fist, the straight die roll seems a paltry result, but again, the text is not specific. However, the difference is significant, as the answer makes this feat either a nice tactical option or one that would never be taken.


My understanding is that it does damage as a normal attack would, so including all modifiers.

Even if it wasn't, the Shaken part is the big thing, since that's a great debuff.


Would it count extra damage from an amulet of mighty fists?
