Não, eles não são (pelo menos a partir da UA atual).
UA Caminho do auto-astral mongeO artigo Braços do Eu Astral diz, na íntegra:
At 3rd level, your mastery of your ki allows you to summon a portion of your astral self. On your turn, you can spend 2 ki points as a bonus action to summon the arms of your astral self for 10 minutes. These spectral arms hover near your shoulders. You determine the arms’ appearance based on the qualities of your character.
While your astral arms are summoned, you gain the following benefits:
- You can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength modifier
when making Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
- The arms are monk weapons and have a reach of 10 feet. The arms deal
radiant or necrotic damage (your choice). When you attack with the
arms, you can use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength or
Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
- Immediately after you use the Attack action with your astral arms on
your turn, you can make one extra attack with your astral arms as a
bonus action. The number of extra attacks increases when you reach
certain levels in this class, increasing to two at 11th level and
three at 17th level.
Nenhuma parte da descrição dessa característica (ou qualquer outra característica da subclasse) diz que ataques com seus braços astrais contam como ataques desarmados. De fato, ataques desarmados nem são mencionados na UA. Além disso, diz que são armas de monge; se contassem como ataques desarmados, isso não faria muito sentido, pois o Artes marciais O recurso descreve ataques desarmados e armas de monge separadamente e distingue os dois.
Este é apenas um erro na implementação desta UA pelo D&D Beyond. Eu relatei o erro no canal de feedback do servidor oficial do Discord, e um mod no DDB Discord (Stormknight # 9773) respondeu ao meu relatório com a seguinte explicação:
With regards the Astral Monk - the attacks are modelled as unarmed strikes on D&D Beyond, as it would take additional development time to introduce a modifier for innate attacks that count as monk weapons.
With Unearthed Arcana, we generally don't feel it is worth diverting people from feature development to work on implementing playtest content, where we already have a close functional fit.
As always, the rules stated under the actual ability supercede the meta-data attached to the ability.
If/when the subclass is included in a published sourcebook, we will absolutely take the time to ensure it is 100% correct.
