[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9440927, member: 7030563"] When you are not punching things sure. But when you are punching things it is a 3rd attack every round at level 2 .... and if you have HM up another 1d6 on it. Unless I didn't use it or was out of it to start with. How about if we both open up with Entangle on round 1 instead of Hunter's Mark: multi: 1d6+3 Hunter 3: 0 or if we don't cast any spell on Round 1: multi: 3d6+9 hunter: 2d6+1d8+6 or if we cast cure wounds on the wizard that went down right before our turn: multi: 1d6+3 Hunter: 0 or if I make an attack and then take the hide action: multi: 1d6+3 Hunter: 0 or if I dodge: multi: 1d6+3 Hunter: 0 or if I have to dash to get to the enemy: multi: 1d6+3 Hunter: 0 Yes if you are playing a hunter and cast HM on the first round you will do more damage for that round. Most of the time I think the multiclass build is going to do more damage in play at level 3. Also the ability to attack at will as a bonus action is pretty darn good. Next level is not level 3. Absolutely you can. you just need to stow it before the martial arts attack. The new rules on weapon switching make this easy to do. Like I said earlier, if that is the actual ruling on armor it makes some builds less viable. WRT a greataxe after you attack and stow your weapon (or before) then you are unarmed and as long as you are unarmed you can make the martial arts attack. If you are a dex-wisdom based build and wanted to use a Greataxe you would typically run at least a 13 strength and use the greataxe with truestrike at this level going off of Wisdom and yes you would get your bonus action unarmed strike with that as well as the Greataxe cleave (if applicable).
