I'm just watching the twitch stream of Doomsday Dawn The Lost Star, and I noticed that Katina's character, the monk, has Tiger Claws listed on her sheet as 1d10 weapons, while the rulebooks says they are 1d8. She also kills several goblins with the claws, but the rulebook says the claws are nonlethal weapons. Did they make a mistake, or am I missing something?

Monks have an ability:
Powerful Fist
When striking with your fist, you deal 1d6 damage instead of 1d4. You use your
normal proficiency when making a lethal attack with a nonlethal unarmed attack.
Making there attacks lethal without penalty. Generally attacking with a lethal weapon nonlethally or vice versa means your attack is untrained.
It looks like they confused dragon stance and tiger stance damage
That makes sense, thanks.
So that means that even though the Stances describe the attacks as Nonlethal, the Powerful Fist class feature means they are Lethal for a monk?
Powerful fist means you can choose to deal lethal or nonlethal damage with your unarmed attacks, and you use the same proficiency modifier for both.
Under the playtest rules, if you try to do nonlethal damage with a lethal weapon (or lethal damage with a nonlethal one) you are considered untrained, so take a penalty- monks can ignore this.
