Failed Disciple unarmed damage doing a d8 instead of a d3.


Rules Questions


I was looking through the NPC Codex and I saw an npc called the Failed Disciple. Looking at his stats I saw that his unarmed strikes did a d8 damage. I was confused because he only had levels in fighter. After looking through his stat block for at least twenty minutes I couldn't find anything that would cause that increase in damage. Is there something I am missing or is this a possible mistake in the book?

It comes from having Improved Unarmed Strike (making it 1d6) and Monk's Robe (increasing it to 1d8)


Okay, I see it now. I didn't notice the monk's robe. And Improved Unarmed Strike only makes it so that you don't provoke an AoO from not using a weapon. With Monk's Robe a bunch of stuff counts as if your monk level was five higher. Thanks though, it's always nice to have a second pair of eyes to look at something. Thanks a lot.


It's actually entirely from the Monk's robe.

Yeah, my bad...
