Monk - Martial arts Damage Type?

[Lothyr]

Hi,

Made a monk character but I am not sure what damage type a Monk's Martial Arts weapon is considered.

Bludgeoning?

Any feedback appreciated.

See the table in pg 149 of the PHB for specifics. It depends upon the weapon. For example, an unarmed strike is bludgeoning, but a shortsword is piercing.

Yeah, unarmed is bludgeoning. ^.^ Only reason I made a monk, calling back to my FFXIV days...

I had trouble adding the weapon to my list, so if you need help I can try to walk you through how I did it. Then again maybe I'm just a dipshit and made it more difficult than it really was. xD

I should have specified unarmed attack. So thanks for clarifying.

If you haven't seen Zacchaeus' set of Complete Class files, here's a link to the Monk one. I use these for every class I use in games to get a handle on the effects by class.
