So, unarmed strikes deal 1d4 for everyone but only people with martial weapons, and monks, get proficiency, Monks get the ability once per round, or again if they spend 1 ki, to use a special attack as part of an attack rather than in place of it, and the Kobold Press Beyond Damage Dice techniques become something you can learn much like how a wizard learns spell. Go find a manual that explains it, fight someone who uses it against you and then practice it, train with a master, etc. I might use your feat as well, though if it still looks like it did the OP, I'd say that I'd add the following;If you are already proficient with unarmed strikes, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage roll of a melee weapon attack with your unarmed strike, once per turn. This firmly makes such a feat good for a monk or a fighter with the unarmed fighting style.</blockquote>
