10 Starting Weapons In Games That Are Secretly Overpowered

Baldur's Gate 3's collection of magical weapons is so great that sometimes it can be hard to figure out which one is the strongest.

Luckily, if you're not one to analyze and fuss over dozens of blades in search of the best, you can actually turn your most basic weapon, your bare fists, into the most powerful and devastating combo in the entire game.

The base damage of unarmed attacks isn't too high even for the monk class, but you can actually bring it up to sixty or even a hundred damage per hit with the right level-ups and a few tweaks to your stats and feats.

Combining the Tavern Brawler feat that adds double your strength modifier to your unarmed attacks with items and buffs that max out your strength can already make your fists deal more damage than regular weapons.

Add some more buffs from the monk class, as well as its special abilities that let you attack twice with one bonus action, and the damage you deal in one round will be enough to solo kill most bosses in the game.

Plus, since your body is your weapon, you never have to worry about getting disarmed! Take that, sword-lovers!
