Here it is. Looks like a nerf to the weakest monk path, elemental.

Thanks for the link.


Interesting. I guess they're sold out or nearly sold out of their first print run. I wonder how many books that was.

They sold out in the UK *months* ago, I don't know the situation elsewhere.

I'm not massively happy with the changes to unarmed strikes - there are a raft of things that Monks now can't do because their attacks no longer count as 'Melee Weapon Attacks'.


Check the D&D forums on the WotC site. Other people had the same concern and got a tweet from Jeremy Crawford clarifying that a bit more. The unarmed strike thing is being tweaked a bit more.

And from what I have seen, they have gone through several print runs of the PHB so far. The next print run will be the one that updates the actual book with the errata.

Reading the errata, I don't see where it says that an unarmed strike no longer counts as a melee weapon attack, rather it says that instead of using a weapon for a melee weapon attack, you use an unarmed strike [for a melee weapon attack].

3 people marked this as a favorite.

One page of errata for a book that's 300+ pages long? That's pretty darned good!

I was focusing on the part of the same paragraph which states that unarmed strikes don't count as weapons... but I prefer your reading.
