I have a semi-hypothetical question. Three feats in particular are at interest: Witch's Armaments, Sympathetic Strike, and Clawdancer Dedication.
I am choosing to read the "Nails" weapon from Witch's Armaments as a Claw weapon for the purpose of this discussion, but I suspect this could come up in other scenarios. In this case, the Nails satisfy the pre-requisite to let me take the Clawdancer dedication. I am then curious about the interaction between being in say, Claw Stance, and then using Sympathetic Strike.
The wording of Sympathetic Strike says I make "an unarmed Strike with one (of) your witch’s armaments." Claw Stance in this case utilizes my Witch's Armament as a pre-requisite. So the argument would be made that Frenzied Claw strikes are an unarmed attack being made with my witch's armament. Therefore, could I be in Claw Stance and make a Sympathetic Strike? Or is the intention that Sympathetic Strike can only use an unmodified version of my Witch's Armaments? Is that base strike the only one that counts for the feat? Or does a stance that utilizes the "claws" (nails) granted by Witch's Armaments still count as "an unarmed Strike with one (of) your witch's armaments?"
Assuming my GM would already treat nails = claws, does it make sense within RAW to allow me to be in Claw Stance and use Sympathetic Strike?
