[RPG] How much damage does the monk’s bonus attack do

class-featuredamagednd-5emonkunarmed-combat

I'm playing a monk in our campaign.

And at level one I can make an unarmed strike after each attack, but I don't know how to calculate its damage correctly.

On a normal attack with a Quarterstaff it's a +4 to hit (with a +2 Dex Mod) and 1d8+2 for damage.

But on the bonus unarmed strike i'm not so sure. It's a 1d4 and a +2 to hit, but do I also get the +2 damage from my Dex mod?

Best Answer

Yes, your unarmed attack are +4 to hit and deal 1d4 + 2 damage

You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
