Monk extra attack

[Noonien]

Hi all !

The monk in my group just got lvl 5 and now has "extra attack".
Question: When doing the bonus attack, does this also give an additional unarmed strike from Martial Arts, so that he can do two attacks + 2 unarmed strikes each round ?
And can he also do each time the open hand technique ?

Two attacks just means that they can attack twice instead of once during their attack action. It doesn't change how many bonus actions that they get. So, for example, if the monk wanted to use Flurry of Blows after an attack then they can only do so by using a bonus action. Once they use that bonus action they don't get another one until their next turn.

Thx a lot for fast reply ! Understood.
One more question related to monk lvl 5:
Martial Arts is 1D6 instead of 1D4, that means that the unarmed attack is now 1D6?
So if I understand right, the general attack does only change amount of damage when I use unarmed attack instead of monk weapon (that does 1D6), but bonus attack or fury of blows changes from 1D4 to 1D6. Is that right ?

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, any unarmed attack made by the monk does 1d6 damage. It doesn't matter how you get that attack - whether it's a normal attack or one from a Flurry of Blows the damage is 1d6.
