Can Inspired Weapon be added to an AoMF?

[redward]

As the title says. Is an Amulet of Mighty Fists an appropriate target for the Inspired weapon special ability?

This special ability can be placed only on simple weapons, hand crossbows, rapiers, shortbows, short swords, and sword canes...

So simple weapons only.

Amulet of Mighty Fists wrote:

This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.

Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks.

So you can apply any melee weapon special ability that can be applied to unarmed attacks.

So Unarmed Attacks (of which Unarmed Strikes are a subset) are listed as simple weapons.

It seems relatively clear-cut to me that it should work, but I'm interested to see any arguments against it.

I don't see why not.

Seems reasonable to me. I'd balk at something like keen/vorpal, maybe.

What's the source for "Inspired"? I don't see it in PRD yet.

It's from the Advanced Class Guide:

This special ability can be placed only on simple weapons, hand crossbows, rapiers, shortbows, short swords, and sword canesUE. In the hands of an investigator, an inspired weapon reduces the cost of using inspiration on attack rolls made with the weapon. The weapon’s wielder needs to expend only one use of inspiration to augment his attack rolls with this weapon, as with the combat inspiration investigator talent. If the wielder already has the combat inspiration talent, the wielder must still expend one use of inspiration,but in addition to adding the result of the inspiration roll to the attack roll, the investigator adds twice the result of the inspiration roll to the weapon’s damage roll.

I'd allow it. Sherlock Holmes did engage in fisticuffs from time to time, after all.

So...I think it would only be permissible if unarmed strikes count as simple weapons. And I don't think they actually do.

Edit: Oh wait, they actually do!

Weapon Descriptions

Weapons in this section are listed alphabetically by their full names. A few weapons had their names altered to be consistent with how other weapons are named; for example: "flail" and "heavy flail," are now called "light flail" and "heavy flail."

What about natural attacks? I'm thinking the answer to that is no...which means I will probably want to redo my build for my Tiefling investigator. An Inspired weapon seems like a must have for the class.
