What do you Roll for Unarmed Strikes?

In Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition, attacking without a weapon, often referred to as "unarmed strike," requires proper attack and damage roll mechanics. In this article, we’ll break down what you need to know about rolling for unarmed strikes and provide a comprehensive answer to the question, what do you roll for an unarmed strike?

Components of an Unarmed Strike

To attack and roll for damage, three components are necessary:

  • d20: Rolling a 20-sided dice.
  • Strength Mod: Adding your Strength ability score modifier, ranging from -5 to 15.
  • Proficiency Bonus: Adding your relevant proficiency bonus, as not all characters are trained in unarmed attacks. See the table below to compare proficiency bonuses based on levels.
Class/Leg Level Proficiency Bonus
1 0
1-4 -3
4-7 3

Once these components are gathered, combine them to make your attack roll:

d20 + Strength Mod + Proficiency Bonus
