Are Druid Attacks Weapon or Unarmed attacks?
like the title said when a Druid Transforms are the Meele Attacks "Weapon Attacks" or are they "Unarmed Strikes"

Tavern brawler does not work with them.

by 5E raw, druid animal forms are using "natural weapons" not unarmed attacks.

So a shaped shifted monk wouldn't get any un-armed benefits from using things like claws, bites, etc...

Assuming BG3 follows RAW, then your druid shapeshift attacks are NOT unarmed attacks.

"Natural Weapons" like claws and tails do not count as "Unarmed".

I want to know if monks can dual wield with out taking dual wield feat.. as weapons can be used on monks instead of fists..

Tavern Brawler definitely works with druid form attacks, at least currently.

In Wild Shape this feat works for attack rolls but not damage

I see an additional + to my damage rolls equal to my form's strength modifier that is untyped in my combat log, so it seems to be working fine, just not notated properly.

baldurs gate 3 forums are full of people confidently exclamingf false information so I understand if your going to take what I say with a grain of salt HOWEVER this is how tavern brawler and wild shape interact

before I begin it is important to clarify that wildshaped attacks are in-fact unarmed attacks
at level 5 a druid will learn wild strike which says "You can make an additional attack after making an unarmed strike while in wildshape" that is the exact wording and thus wildstrike attacks are considered unarmed.

however it is bugged. if you look at the die rolls for your wildshaped attacks it will add the tavern brawler bonus to your hit chance. unfortunately it forgets to add the bonus to damage. this can sometimes happen with monk as well, but its almost if not guaranteed to happen with wildshape. people need to actually try things and look at the die rolls and what they say before posting.

Druid would use staff, rely on nature for dmg.

Here's an easy way to tell.

Someone with Tavern brawler on their druid just take a picture of the combat log? Please?

why? evidence is frowned upon on this board. everyone just says stuff they think is true and when shown evidence they ignore it and this topic will just pop up again in a couple days. this is like the 4th that I have personally seen.
