03-30-07, 12:20 AM My question is if my character has unarmed fighting feat and im making him a hand to hand fighting brawler do i gain the extra attacks if I take the two weapon fighting chain of feats?

Also how is damage reduction worked in for unarmed characters? This is not a monk but a fighter with unarmed fighting.

Normally, you won't bypass any DR unless you enhance/enchant your unarmed attacks.

While you're at it, you might as well take Superior Unarmed Strike (see Tome of Battle) to acquire unarmed damage progression. May not be as good as a monk's unarmed damage progression but at least your unarmed damage can increase.

Actually, the rules are vague about this. Most DMs would probably let you, but you should check to be sure. Some people (myself included) feel that you only have one "unarmed strike" weapon, which you can use any part of your body to deliver. That precludes using it as both a primary and off-hand weapon at the same time.

No, TWF will not work with Natural Attacks, though you can attack with natural weapons in addition to your normal attack routine as a secondary attack. Yes, Natural Attacks are considered light.
