Unarmed Damage

The amount of damage done by an attack using the unarmed skill. It is based partially on the character's strength attribute. Usually, unarmed damage will be done when the character has no weapon in the active weapon slot, but various items exist that use the unarmed skill, such as brass knuckles. In Fallout 1, the only unarmed attack that doesn't use a weapon is the punch, but Fallout 2 allows several types of punches and kicks besides the basic punch, depending on the character's experience and skill levels.
