Built a monk and equipped a spear. It is using my Str score to hit and damage instead of my Dex mod. No way to see how to change it over. This will also be a problem using finesse weapons.
There are plenty of additional updates in progress as we prepare for launch, including the revamps to the Equipment and Spells interfaces, updates to Backgrounds and Personal Characteristics, some builder flow/ accessibility changes, adding a way to see your character's action economy easier, the Unarmed Strike/ Martial Arts rules, and more.

D&D Beyond FoundersI know that monk weapons and martial arts weren't working - not sure if that has been implemented yet.
Finesse weapons calculate correctly from my own tests.

ModeratorYeah, the ability for Monks to use non-finesse weapons (like the spear) with DEX instead of STR is a property of Martial Arts.
