I'll give it a try to see, but if this is what is happening then I can see a good reason for it from a fluff point of view.


yeah I can see using unarmed attack, but you can also use unless they changed it in 5e a weapon for simple subdual damage. We'll say half damage though believe it's still just straight damage in 5e, my fighter has a +2, or +3 depending on which I'm using. Gale I believe has a negative to his strength, as does Fang boy? so they shouldn't be hitting like my fighter and my crits should be 5 or 6's. every attack no matter who I used was either 1 or 2. with crit being 3. it made me cry.
