Notes

• The Saving throw for this attack is rolled against the attacker's weapon action DC given by:

Weapon action DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Strength or Dexterity modifier

• The DC in the tooltip incorrectly shows the Spellcasting DC which is determined by the Wisdom modifier instead.
• The range of this action is based on your equipped melee weapon. With an  Extra Reach weapon, the range of the punch is extended to 2.5 m / 8 ft.
