Unearthed Arcana makes an unexpected return (the last one was back in May) with a three-page PDF containing two subclasses -- Path of the Wild Soul for the barbarian, and Way of the Astral Self for the monk.
They are monk weapons, that do zero damage on their own.Interestingly, you don't lose your martial arts value when you wear armor, just the ability to substitute the value over the damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. That's how I ran into the question of how much the arms actually do by themselves.
Anybody else get all excited about a new UA and click through without reading carefully?
