Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9434596" data-attributes="member: 7030563">Yes it absolutely will.  Unarmed Strike can be done as a bonus action by a first level Monk and it is completely independant of your weapon attack.  You can use two weapon fighting without using your bonus action if you have mastery and one of your light weapons has Nick.  Unarmed strike starts at 1d6, equal to the best light weapons and the point is it is an extra attack in all cases.If you are a single class fighter wielding a greatsword  with a 20 strength your damage is:12 DPR at level 2-424 DPR at level 524 DPR at level 6-10 If you are a fighter with a 20 strength and a 1 level dip in Monk and a greatsword and martial arts your damage is:20.5 DPR at level 2-420.5 DPR at level 532.5 DPR at level 6-10If you are a fighter with a 20 strength using a hand axe and a shortsword your damage is:17 DPR at level 2-424.5 DPR at level 524.5 DPR at level 6-10If you are a fighter with a 20 strength and a 1-level Monk dip your damage is:24.5 DPR at level 2 24.5 DPR at level 533 DPR at level 6Note this does not consider critical hits or the other mastery riders.There is no such thing as resistance to non-magic damage in 2024, so that does not matter nearly as much as it does in 5E.  I agree that magic items will boost weapon damage more, but the unarmed strike damage is extra damage.You would get that if you were multiclassed and since you will be using it for the same number of attacks you will be getting the same benefit from it.In a game from level 2 to 10 this matters at level 4 and level 8 only (and level 6 for a fighter).  It is completely irrelevant at every other level.  Meaning it is completely irrelevant for most of the game.As does every example I gave above.  That is the whole point of never playing a single-classed Monk.</blockquote>
