Feats/Unarmed Combatant

Main > Feats > Unarmed Combatant

If you possess an Unarmed Combatant feat you are considered to be armed even when unarmed — you do not become compromised when you attack foes while unarmed. You also deal additional damage with their unarmed strikes based on the total number of unarmed combatant feats they possess, as shown in the following table.

# Unarmed Combatant Feats	Damage (Small Size)	Damage (Medium Size)	Damage (Large Size)
1-3 feats	1d3	1d4	1d6
4-7 feats	1d4	1d6	1d8
8-11 feats	1d6	1d8	2d6
12-15 feats	1d8	2d6	3d6
16-19 feats	2d6	2d8	3d8
20+ feats	2d8	2d10	4d8

Practitioners from a class that already grants an unarmed damage progression, such as the brawler or monk, may treat their unarmed strike as one size category larger if they have 3 or more unarmed combatant feats, but receive no further benefits.

Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice.

You are trained in the Grapple combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to grapple you.
