Hi all,
just a thought I had today while out walking the dog :)
There has been a lot of comment recently on how unarmed strikes interact with other rules. This seems to stem from the fact they fall out of category. That is they are a natural attack that is a weapon attack, but requires specific magic items etc.
For example, there is the thread on two weapon fighting unarmed strike and a two handed weapon. There is the current monk debate.
There is the two weapon fighting with unarmed strike debate.
Just to name a few...
So could Unarmed strike just be a natural attack? A small slam for humans would do 1d3 damage. It would follow all the rules for natural weapons, so it could only be used with weapons as a secondary attack, but would still allow for great cinematic such as booting someone following a weapon attack etc.
Obviously the monk would require a major rework, and this would never make Core Rules in this edition, but what rules problems would this present?
Any thoughts?
