Monk/Barbarian multiclass?

[farlanghn]

Can anyone confirm if barbarians rage bonus damage works on monks unarmed strikes? Thinking taking Barbarian a couple levels and then Monk.

It should provided you're using str damage rather than dex.

Why? Rage doesn’t effect Str.

so if i make a monk/barb i still want to do dex as main stat?

My guess is Joe probably assumed BG3s Rage works the same way DnD 5Es rage does.

kinda work similar, but no. “ While Raging, you are stronger, and you deal extra damage with melee and improvised weapons, and when throwing objects. You have Resistance to physical damage, and Advantage on Strength Checks and Saving Throws.” Thats the rage ability for BG3
