[QUOTE="Jawsofhana, post: 7515174, member: 6974911"] HI there! Our group is fairly inexperienced. And we don't have the best in-depth knowledge of how things should work. I was hoping someone could clear up a few things? I wanted a type of strong melee brawler type of character. But tend to dislike monks. Anyway, I decided to go for a Battle Master with the Tavern Brawler, and the Grappler feat. Then multi-classed into assassin, in order to sneak up on people, and tell them to "Sleep". But I guess Unarmed do not count as finesse weapons? Our dm has no issue with allowing it, but I want to know the actual rules, for future accounts. He has 20 strength, and 16 dex. In order to sneak attack, you need to use finesse weapons, right? Do I have to use the dex modifier to hit? He also has two weapon fighting, but does each fist count as a weapon, or do I need a dagger in the off hand? In order to use this feat, for three attacks? And can I give the offhand attack away, with the battlemaster's Commander's Strike? And no matter how many attacks you have, you only ever gain one sneak attack, correct? [/QUOTE]
