How to learn
Granted by feats: Tavern Brawler (Feat)
Notes
When Tavern Brawler is applied to the damage roll from a thrown weapon, the additional damage this feat grants is treated as a "DRS."
Unarmed attacks that use Dexterity as a modifier still gain the strength modifier as a bonus with this feat and thus don't get the Dexterity modifier applied twice to the attack.
Bugs
- As of Hotfix 6, the bonus Strength modifier damage from throws with Tavern Brawler seems to be directly applied to objects, bypassing any Toughness condition they may have. Thus, even if a character cannot deal enough normal damage in a single attack, they can still slowly but surely chip down the health of any locked door or chest by repeatedly throwing an item.
