Hello guys, looking for some clarification of between these terms in the PHB. Do they mean the same thing?
There is a monk ability called Stunning Strike it states that "when you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike" so If I am a monk and don't use any weapons but only punch and kick things, does that mean I could never use that ability? or does my punch and kick count as a melee weapon attack?
There is also a feat called Charger, it states that if you use your action to dash and have moved at least 10 ft before dashing you can then take a bonus action to either make a melee weapon attack or shove an enemy. So same question, if you did this could you apply the bonus action and the +5 additional damage the charger feat grants even if you only punched or kicked the target and didn't use an actual melee weapon?
Thanks for your wisdom and clarification.
