Boar Style - Does it work with natural weapons?

[Azatoth Plaguebringer]

Greetings,

I have a question for your rule monkies out there.. When reading he desciption of the Boar Style feat then it appears to me that these feats would work with natural weapons as well. My reasoning for this are in the bold text below in the description of the feat as well that natural weapons are not really armed strikes.

What do you say?

**************************************************************

Boar Style: A tribe of orcs who disdained the use of weapons originally developed this savage unarmed fighting style. They preferred to slaughter their enemies with their bare hands and teeth. Over the centuries, a variety of races have adopted the Boar Style, most notably goblinoids, ogres, and trolls . The objective of the Boar Style is to attack with as much viciousness and cruelty as possible in order to break enemy morale. Fanatical followers of the style use herbal and alchemical reagents to harden their nails and teeth, sometimes performing self-mutilating procedures that result in clawlike nails and sharpened teeth.

Feat Path: Boar Style, Boar Ferocity, Boar Shred.

**************************************************************

Boar Style (Combat, Style)
Your sharp teeth and nails rip your foes open.

Thanks in advance!

You can deal bludgeoning damage or slashing damage with your unarmed strikes—changing damage type is a free action. While using this style, once per round when you hit a single foe with two or more unarmed strikes, you can tear flesh. When you do, you deal 2d6 bleed damage with the attack.

I don't see why it should; unarmed strikes and natural weapons are two different things. You could take Feral Combat Training, which lets you apply unarmed strike feats to natural attacks.

Yea I am aware of that.. just that I didn't see why it would only work with the unarmed strikes since it VERY much involves nails, and bites/teeths which are not considered being unarmed as you say.

The fluff might have something in it that sounds like it could work with natural weapons but the rules don't have that. And the rules are what counts.

When it talks about "your sharp teech and nails", it's talking about people who don't have natural claws or sharp teeth mutilating themselves to make their unarmed strikes have the option to do piercing damage. That's different from using actual claws or actual sharp teeth/fangs/tusks/etc.

I accept the answers :) Just wanted to make it clear since as usual the descriptions leaves more questions then answers sometimes

Thanks for the answers!

It is a good idea to not let the flavor text confuse you in how the RAW works.
