I'm trying to build an unarmed combat fighter, so I currently have a 3rd level Monk (Because bonus feats I would take anyway, class abilities, and the option to take Monastic Legacy later)
We just hit level 4, so I'm trying to decide whether to go normal fighter or Free Hand Fighter (APG), since I won't be wearing armor anyway, but I've run into a problem with the Singleton ability. It specifies that you get the bonus when "wielding a melee weapon in one hand and leaving your other hand free"
Does Improved Unarmed Strike count as "wielding a weapon"?
For that matter, can you Two-Weapon Fight with unarmed strikes? I've always assumed yes, but I see that uses the same wording.

Are you wielding your unarmed strike in your hand? No, it is your hand. Alternatively, it could be your foot, or your shoulder, or your pelvis, or whatever you want it to be.
It's not that simple, if I remember well Monk unarmed strike count as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon...
But the Brass Knuckles thingy resolve the dilema, you can use your unarmed strike but when you want to use the Singleton ability you still have the brass knuckles wielded... ;)
