About the same on average. This assumes a NW that can be used with Str.At level 12, Cybil the Monk can fight with her bite instead of hands and feet, and gets to do d10 damage instead of d8 damage (all magical). But loses out on some attacks with magical monk weaponry. I'd say this averages out to +0.5 per attack <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> This assumes a NW that can be used with Dex.At level 18, Durran the Rogue can fight with his tail spike instead of a rapier, and gets to do 2d6 magical damage instead of d8+3 magical damage. Average 7 and 7.5 respectively. This assumes a NW that can be used with Dex.All in all, for a quick fix attempt that still achieves a smooth progression curve, nothing stands out as especially egregious balance-wise. What you think? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
