If you have proficiency with a weapon, you add your Proficiency Bonus to attack rolls you make with it."In adition to all this they may like to know the graper feat and monk atacks work in wildshape now.<h3>"Unarmed Strike</h3>Instead of using a weapon to make a melee attack, you can use a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow. In game terms, this is an Unarmed Strike—a melee attack that involves you using your body to damage, grapple, or shove a target within 5 feet of you."A bears claws or bite for example fulfull all the conditions.  They are a "similar forceful blow" and the are "a melee attack that involves part of your body to damage"  (sometimes they also grapple and shove in the beast stat blocks)</blockquote>
