I’d allow this but, I’d let it just be the flat Str score of an attack.
Monks get to have their unarmed strike to be special.
The prone stuff seems a bit OP. I’d make it a part of Crusher instead.
It usually works out fine. Plus sometimes the potential of just getting a 1d4 out of it doesn’t seem worth it to waste a bonus action, especially at higher level encounters. I have other house rules that also incentivize other options too. But I’ve been blessed with players that like to keep things interesting and inventive for the fun of it rather than just cheese everything they can.
theminions@lemmy.world The prone stuff also just seems unbelievable. Jabbing someone with your off-hand isn't going to knock anyone over. It's not a running body check against someone who isn't bracing.
I see this all of the time in the PF2r subreddit. Everyone wants to know why it's so hard to push enemies around or knock them over, as if they're pro-wrestlers desperate to oversell for you for a paycheque, and not creatures who are opposing your attempts to do those things.
