Now that that is settled why can I make a melee attack with something that is not a melee weapon ( Unarmed strikes) ?Before you bring up tavern brawler that turns mundane items into improvised weapons which count as melee weapons.Also why are PC's with natural attacks held back in the melee weapon attack category when monsters are not?(yeah yeah yeah monsters are not PCs..but still why 2 sets of rules)For those that don't know PCs with natural attacks those attacks are concidered as unarmed attacks.This seems to me to not make sense. I'm of the opinion that if I'm doing damage with my fists, feet, claws or, bite I'm attacking with melee attacks. Why does the distinction between melee weapons and unarmed strike exist? I can make melee weapon attacks and kill with both why is one concidered a weapon and the other not?(on a side note: Why does the Order of the Lycan blood rite not continue on a monk/bloodhunter when the transformation ends)</blockquote>
