Level Up (A5E) Adepts and magical unarmed strikes

[Inconsequenti-AL]

Hello!

Now, apologies if this has turned up somewhere else; if so I've failed at tool site, forum and web searching.

Was wondering if anyone knew of ways to gain a +hit/damage magical bonus to adept unarmed strikes? Any items cover this?

there's none that i know of currently, no. wouldn't break anything to add an item for it though

A couple of 5E D&D options to address this are:

• Insignia of Claws, uncommon magic item that gives +1 attack/damage unarmed and to natural weapons, from 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen.
• Eldritch Claw Tattoo, uncommon magic item that gives +1 attack/damage to unarmed strikes, requires attunement, from 5E Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. And as a bonus action once/day can empower melee attacks with +1d6 force damage and 15' reach.

There are also a few magic items in older D&D editions that provide +hit/damage to unarmed strikes or natural weapons.

I agree with W'rkncacnter that just having some standard weapon +1/+2/+3 variants that work for unarmed strikes or natural weapons is not unreasonable. You could have say Boot Spikes, Brass Knuckles, Combat Claws, or similar that are enchanted.
