[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7822798, member: 6987520"] For myself anyway it wasn't an issue of confusion, it was an issue that the "explanation" removed several in-game features from working with unarmed strikes when IMO there was really no reason to do it. It is an unnecessary distinction and the word-jargon leads to confusion for some people, when features are applicable and when they aren't, leading to a further need for clarification... Easy to understand: [LIST] [*]Natural weapons (including the humanoid "unarmed strike") are simple weapons. [*]All creatures are proficient in natural weapons even if they do not have proficiency in simple weapons. [*]Any feature or effect that can be applied to a weapon can be applied to a natural weapon as well. [/LIST] All this does is open up a wide variety of cool and fun things to add to the game instead of restricting them. How is that a bad thing? If I had played 5E years ago, I would have brought it up then. ;) [/QUOTE]
