Bite, claw, tail are all unarmed attack options. I’m just not sure if the damage can be increased with runes. Maybe tattoos?

Thinking about a shield fighter + unarmed attacks (prolly bite since it can start at d8 w/ feat).

Advice? Thanks!

    Unarmed characters can get runes on their unarmed attacks using Handwraps of Mighty Blows

      Treat the handwraps as melee weapons of the brawling group with light Bulk for these purposes.

      So does that mean that fighter feats that require weapons, such as Double Slice, would then work while wearing them!?

        No. The “these purposes” it’s referring to there are for purposes of transferring and adding runes and upgrades. Handwraps are not weapons, they are an item that can have weapon runes put on it, and whose effect is to give your unarmed attacks the effects of those runes.

            I will say, ask your GM about reflavouring the handwraps as tattoos if you want that. As a GM I’d allow it. I’d just want to make sure there is some way of “confiscating” the item, but for example you could say that if the tattoos are covered up then they lose their power or something like that.
