[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 8135239, member: 19270"] It also could be narrative, especially if players want to embellish how it all went down. [B]Round 1: [/B]Nathan, who probably has a level or more of Monk given his new training, replaces his base Attack with the special attack Grapple and succeeds. He then uses his bonus action monk unarmed strike to substitute his other attack as a disarm and succeeds, though the visual will be seen in Round 2. Enemies don't connect with their attacks [I](or if they do, with HP as an abstract, he isn't down to 0 and taking any real damage). [/I]It's a bland way to narrate what actually happened! [B]Round 2: [/B]Nathan now has a monk weapon and strikes a lethal blow. Depending on how you narrate hit points, he might have "hit" more than once though only one drew blood.
