[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6808123, member: 17607"] The new Sage Advice Compendium clarifies that Savage Attacker doesn't work with unarmed strikes, because Savage Attacker references a weapon's damage die, and an unarmed strike isn't a weapon (as per the PH Errata). So half-orc monks need to use a monk weapon to get the benefit of their racial trait. Of all the items in this article, the willingness to revisit and revise old rulings is the one that heartens me the most; I'm looking forward to the day that Crawford realizes he got the distinction between somatic and material components precisely backward. (The text of the PH specifies that, if you are able to perform somatic components with a hand, you can access material components with the same hand, but his ruling regarding emblazoned holy symbols presupposes the opposite -- if you have access to a material component with a hand, you can perform somatic components with that hand -- and the apposite interpretation is not strictly supported by the text in the PH.) -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
