This might fall under a rules question I've seen discussed before, but I just wanted to double-check:
If I build a draconic sorcerer, they'll have access to the dragon claw focus spell, which gives a nice agile unarmed attack. The Sorcerer is trained in unarmed attacks. So far, so good. Seems a nice thing to base a build on.
Then, at level 11 the sorcerer becomes expert in simple weapons. But not in unarmed attacks. Will my dragon claws start falling behind?
At level 13, this seems to become even worse. Weapon specialization adds 2 damage to simple weapons and unarmed attacks in which I'm expert. Except I don't see a way to become expert in unarmed attacks, even with my bloodline focus spell that's supposed to scale along with my character level. That can't be right?
Am I overlooking something, or could we chalk this up to the overall confusion over unarmed attacks sometimes seeming like they're meant to be simple weapons (despite explicitly not being simple weapons)?

You're correct. Not only do sorcerers never become expert in unarmed, there is no way at all to become expert in unarmed if your base class doesn't give it to you.

Reading the Monk multiclass archetype was a very big disappointment. I figured could get expert unarmored and unarmed at some point in the teens... Nope! But perhaps it's not set in stone and we can get new multicclass monk feats later.
