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.
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.
I think that has less to do with monks and more to do with your players.
That is massively more powerful than a RAW normal action unarmed attack, which does a single point of damage with no other riders.
