- Monk's may replace the Strength damage scaling with the Dexterity modifier if it is higher. Note that the bonus damage from Tavern Brawler will always use the Strength modifier.

- For a comprehensive list of effects that interact with unarmed strikes, see List of features and items that interact with unarmed strikes.
