>>43254096Unarmed strikes and improvised weapons count as melee weapon attacks.
>https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/608776737917263872>Addressing a nuance in the PH errata: the rule lets melee weapon attacks use unarmed strikes, despite those strikes not being weapons.So you get your Rage bonus while:
punching dudes
kicking them in the dick
headbutting them
slamming their faces into your knee
beating the shit out of them with a chair
stabbing them in the liver with a broken glass bottle
grabbing them by the neck and running their face across a table
suplexing them into a lit brazier
surfing down a flight of stairs on their back
wailing on their kidneys with the broken leg of the table you just slammed them through
throwing them halfway through a window, then opening it
leaping up to the chandelier, tearing it from its mooring, and slamming it down on their head
closing a folding ladder on them and swinging them into a wall
shaping their eyebrows with a burning torch
picking up a table and swatting them like a fly with it
ramming a pound of ground cinnamon down their throats
drowning them in the barrel of ale you just smashed their face through
giving them a combat tracheotomy with a scroll tube
sweeping their face along every baluster of a stair's railing
beating them with the limp body of their own ally
opening or closing doors on them
swinging sawhorses as oversized tonfas
heel dropping their head into any sort of clutter or through an open drawer
ramming them straight through a wall (don't let the stone of a dungeon or castle stop you from trying)
chucking them between the spokes on the gatehouse's wheel and pulling the stop / operating the mechanism
power bombing them into a detected trap
knocking statuary or bookcases onto them (as long as you can maintain contact)
swinging them through the posts of streetlamps, then beating them with the fractured top half
slamming them onto the spikes of a metal gate or fence
..and more!
