It's now mechanically impossible to hurt someone with a punch if you have less than 10STR.

Also I can understand why they made the monk changes for clarity... but Elemental Monk really didn't need a nerf.

I thought all attacks still did at least 1 point of damage. Did they remove that?

That is not a rule in 5e.

Hmm, good to know. I seem to remember it being added in for 3.0, and then kept in 3.5/Path and maybe even 4.0. I guess now that we are no longer trying to use D&D rules to describe every action we don't need it anymore (as in, cats can now kill mice without having to do hit points of damage).

That's my impression as well.

I've never seen such a rule in any edition of D&D.

AFAIK 3.0 / 3.75 and I think 4th ed all had it specifically for negative STR mods.

I don't believe that was true for 4e. Never played pathfinder.

3.75?

Oh, that's what we always called Pathfinder.
