Savage Attacking Monk?

[DarklordKyo]

I'm playing a Tavern Brawler Monk in my multi-player playthrough, and debating what to do next ASI.

Heard Savage Attacker was massively buffed, so, question, does it work with Unarmed Strikes?

Does Savage Attacker work in general now? I read it did not work even with melee weapons, but perhaps that is fixed then? If it is then I am going to give it to feat-spamming fighters like Lazael

When making melee weapon attacks, roll the damage dice twice, and take the highest result.

Melee attacks, not "unarmed" attacks, right? Melee implies the use of a weapon.

Monk attacks were always considered a weapon, no?

I was getting rerolls in the combat log when I tried it yesterday, so it seems like it is fixed, yes.

I don't think it works. Here example of attack roll, 12 monk, feats - Tavern, Tough, Savage - decide for yourself:

This is screen from patch 2 though without last 2 hotfixes, so stays true only unless it's changed in those.

Also it's not like you need it since you get tons of damage outside of your fist roll, but from bonuses and other types of dmg on top of bludgeoning.

I'd go instead with better saving throws or even instrument proficiency.

Good to know, thanks!
