Complete beginner here. I have an Astral Self Monk and I'm struggling to get my head around the stats for astral arms in DND beyond. I thought you could use Wis in place of Dex for astral arms, but the info for the arms says stat:DEX even for the second entry that has (WIS) in title. It also seems to draw my Dex for the hit/dc. Is this correct and I have misunderstood the mechanics of the wis replacement? I expected the two arms to show different figures for hit/DC depending on if it used str/Dex or wis. Thanks.
That’s odd. I just looked at an Astral Self monk I have and it is displaying correctly. +8 WIS attack and +6 DEX attack since I prioritized WIS on that build.
Here's my sheet. Maybe you will see something that helps figure out the issue. Maybe post a link to yours? Do you do any manual additions to your sheet or overrides? I know there was some issue with the character sheet glitching when manually entering stats (maybe it was manually entering then changing it to something else like standard array.) Not sure exactly what the glitch was but I think it had to do with manually entering stuff.
This issue is happening to me as well, and I have a theory. I believe the stat being used is the highest available for the character when calculating the to hit/damage modifiers for Arms of the Astral Self (WIS). I tested this by overriding my Dex, Str, and Wis scores. This particular attack does change the stat used depending on which is highest (between Dex and Wis only). Arms of the Astral Self (DEX/STR) also changes between Dex and Str, but this is functioning as intended.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. Even though the entry under actions says Unarmed Strike (WIS) if your DEX is higher it will still use that. I am assuming that’s the OP’s problem but they haven’t responded so we may never know.

What are your scores? What is it displaying? Maybe link your character sheet and someone might find the problem. It could always be a bug.

I’ve noticed this as well. Astral Arms (Wis) is definitely pulling from the Dex modifier.
