question about astral self. I’m probably missing something. But with empowered arms, wouldn’t they already do martial arts damage since they are considered monk weapons? What am I missing?You essentially get to double the damage dice of one Astral Arms hit on your turn. They deal your MA die in base damage as monk weapons, then 1/your turn you can have one hit with the arms deal EXTRA damage, also equal to your MA die.
