Martial Arts "You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons."
I should be using the ability modifier from the higher stat between my STR and DEX on damage. Instead I am stuck with STR value. https://i.imgur.com/VbPFMnL.png
Please vote for visibility, or tell me why I'm a doo doo brain who is wrong and should feel bad.
That +5 that you circled is for your Saving Throws, not your actual Dex modifier. Since Monks are proficient in Dex Saves, that +5 is your Dex mod (+3) combined with your Proficiency bonus (+2). Since your actual Dex mod is +3, that means it is using the correct numbers for everything.
You can further tell in that image that your Actobatics skill is only +3 without any proficiency, which means that your actual Dex mod is only +3, and that your Athletics skill is only +1 without any proficiency, which means that your actual Str mod is only +1.
