Please rename or better clarify the Monk ability Powerful Fist.


Classes


The ability as written:

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.

So far every player I've had writing up a monk has asked if this ability also apply's to the different stances as they don't necessarily use fists for damage (dragon stance is a kick). The fact that the second line of the ability has nothing to due with fists but unarmed attacks in general has repeatedly confused them, because it's part of the Powerful "FIST" ability.

Thanks,

Sovereign Court

Renaming to "Lethal Blows" would remove the feeling it "has" to be a Fist and is more accurate about what the thing does (it makes it so you can do real damage).
