Power Attack and IUS question

This might sound silly, and I'm sure it's been asked before, but is it possible for a Monk or someone with IUS to make an unarmed strike Two-Handed in or not in conjunction with Power Strike?

The RAW of it would be appreciated it.

I was envisioning some of the Ninja training moves that Batman uses in the movies where he would quickly turn to a side-stance, arch his upper body towards the opponent, then connect with both fists using that solid form. Or DBZ with the typical kicking through the air, appearing above them, clasping both hands and essentially slamming them into the earth.


Unarmed strike is listed as a light weapon. Which normally cannot be used two handed. Flavour wise, there is no issue with it, you just do not get the 1,5 str bonus.

Look at tiger style. That gives you a single attack with both hands.

I don't know what "power strike" is, but Power Attack can be used with any melee weapon.

That includes Unarmed Strikes.

You cannot "two hand" an Unarmed Strike, but the Dragon Style feat will add x1.5 strength to damage with your first Unarmed Strike in a round.

Alrighty. Thanks guys!
