High there I am trying to create a homebrewed magic weapon that would grant a bonus to a monk's unarmed strikes and also give it a ranged option as well, can anyone give me tips on the setting as to how to make this work because I appear to be having trouble with it.

I suggest looking at insignia of claws to see how to boost unarmed strikes.

As for giving a ranged attack, about the only way to do that is to use a ranged weapon.

I can tell you how to make a “Wondrous item” magic item that gives a boost to Unarmed Attacks, but not Unarmed damage, that might have to be adjusted manually by the person using the item.

As for the ranged attack, the only way I can think of to do that would be to make a spell that does what you want and attach that spell to the item. If you give me more details I can maybe help you further.

For attack and damage bonus:

Modifiers->Type: Bonus, Subtype: Unarmed Attacks, Fixed Value: 1

Modifiers->Type: Damage, Subtype: Unarmed Attacks, Fixed Value: 1

A magic item cannot currently add Actions in the tool. You can either use a homebrew Feat, Spell, or a Custom Action on the character sheet.

Aww, cool. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, I did as you asked and now it works!

What did you do for the ranged attack?

I have copied this same style for increasing damage only I wanted it to be an extra d6. I chose a 1 in the number of dice and a d6 as the dice type rolled but it does not work. Any ideas?
