Dual Wielding Unarmed Strike?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Really confusing me, but I doubt there's really an official answer out there.

Okay, so can I dual wield two instances of Unarmed Strike? Or rather, is the ability to strike Unarmed considered it's own weapon that can be many weapons, or is Unarmed Strike unable to be wielded twice?

For example, a caster uses Magic Weapon on a Monk's Unarmed Strike. Since the Monk is dual wielding those two unarmed strikes, is only one affected by Magic Weapon, or are they both affected by the same spell?

I know with natural weapons, like paired claws, a spell would need to distinguish which claw it applied to. Regarding unarmed strike, I'm under the impression that it can represent any body part, or even the entire body, of the character, so affecting a single weapon becomes very abstract.

You can TWF with Unarmed Strikes.

A creature's unarmed strike is its entire body, so only one casting is needed.
