1. At level 11 you gain Beastly Precision which lets you add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to attack rolls. The class does not give you proficiency in unarmed strikes so unless you gain it from another source you only use D20+Str until level 11.
2. Correct. Claws only count as weapons for crimson rite. No bonuses from fighting style.
Thank you for the reply! I asked because in the PHB there is the following information:
“Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use an unarmed strike: a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow (none of which count as weapons). On a hit, an unarmed strike deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + your Strength modifier. You are proficient with your unarmed strikes.”
If EVERYONE is proficient in unarmed strike why would that go away in hybrid form?
Well now I just feel stupid haha. For some reason, I was thinking it was a needed proficiency and monks, for example, were proficient in unarmed strikes. I change my answer!
1. Yes add proficiency bonus. At level 11 your bonus is even better!
Perfect! That’s what I was going with but wanted to be sure. I think they add the extra bump at 11 because you will never get “+2 claws” so they had to find a way to scale.
Predatory Strikes. Your unarmed strikes are considered a single weapon in regards to your crimson rite feature. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolIs of your unarmed strikes. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike, you can make another unarmed strike as a bonus action.
Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 slashing damage. This die increases to 1d8 at 11th level, and 1d10 at 18th level.
Are this to consider as "Your unarmed strikes are considered a single weapon" as to roll right swing, left swing as a single weapon roll so basiclly "4" attacks ?
Don’t forget the rest of the sentence. They are a single weapon in regards to the crimson rite feature. This means you can’t put different rites on each hand. It has nothing to do with swinging left vs right.
Monk says you can take one attack as a bonus action, Predatory strikes says you can take one additional attack as your bonus action. Is this the same attack or does that mean you can make two attacks as a bonus action?

You only have one Bonus Action on your turn. The Monk's Martial Arts feature and the Lycan Blood Hunter's Predatory Strikes class feature both allow you to use your Bonus Action to make one Unarmed Strike. Assuming your character has access to both features they must choose whether to use their Bonus Action on their Martial Arts or their Predatory Strikes Bonus Action Unarmed Strike.
Monk's do get Flurry of Blows at level 2 which lets them spend a Ki point to make two Unarmed Strikes as a Bonus Action though.

Ah beans I thought together it was like Extra Attack and gave you two attack rolls per Bonus Action 'attack' free of ki.

Quick question on Order of the Lycan. I'm having a hard time figuring out how Predatory Strike works/fits in.
1. Do you add your proficiency bonus to the attack rolls?
2. Since your hybrid claws are not weapons do they gain zero benefits from any of the fighting style choices the Blood Hunter gets?

I get to strike twice, do I get another attack as a bonus action only if my attack in unarmed? I use usually a rapier..
