Doubling rings and unarmed attacks


Rules Discussion


Do they work with fists and similar unarmed attacks?

For example, could a monk who uses either a monk weapon ( for example) or unarmed attacks share the runes on the handwraps by using the rings?

No, it's melee weapons for both sides of the doubling.
(So you couldn't carry a magic javelin and empower your machete either.)

Handwraps have the benefit of working with all unarmed attacks.

Aren't fists on the weapon list too?

Not to say they are "favored weapon" of some deities.

Did I miss a specific rule?

...

Found out ( umarmed trait ).

Thanks

Hard time for monks :(

This is actually spelled out in the Equipment chapter:
Chapter 6: Equipment / Weapons / Unarmed Attacks wrote:

Source Core Rulebook pg. 278 2.0

Almost all characters start out trained in unarmed attacks. You can Strike with your fist or another body part, calculating your attack and damage rolls in the same way you would with a weapon. Unarmed attacks can belong to a weapon group (page 280), and they might have weapon traits (page 282). However, unarmed attacks aren’t weapons, and effects and abilities that work with weapons never work with unarmed attacks unless they specifically say so.

Table 6–6: Unarmed Attacks lists the statistics for an unarmed attack with a fist, though you’ll usually use the same statistics for attacks made with any other parts of your body. Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. Details for those unarmed attacks are provided in the abilities that grant them.
