Unchained Monk Elbow Smash


Rules Questions


Hey, just a short question concering elbow smash

"The monk follows up a punch with a strike from his elbow. If the attack hits, the monk can make an additional attack using the same attack bonus as the punch at a –5 penalty. If this second attack hits, it deals damage as normal, but all of the damage is nonlethal. The monk must attack with a fist to use this style strike."

Does the first attack and the elbow smash both deal non lethal damage or does the first attack deal lethal damage and just the additional attack deals non lethal damage?

Thanks for your help in advance


Only the bonus attack is nonlethal, the attack with the fist can be either one.
