When you are proficient in a weapon you add your proficiency bonus to that weapons to-hit and damage, correct? If so, is monk considered to be proficient in Unarmed strikes, and is thus able to add their bonus to the to-hit and damage of such an attack?
If a monk is not proficient in Unarmed strikes does this mean they have less chance to hit than a fighter of equal capability that is using a sword, or less chance than the same monk would be using a weapon?
Or am I wrong about the use of proficiency in the first place?
