Advice and Rules Questions


I want to build a character who is a lizardman who Fights using thrashing Dragon and Broken fist.

But a couple things I need to know before I press on

Unarmed Strikes can be any part of my body right.

Head = head butt
Ebol.= Ebol smash
Fist = punch
And so

Well for future reference let say I have a tail and my arms are full. Can I make an unarmed strike with it? I know some creatures have a natural tail attack but let's say I'm using a monk of some sort can I attack using my tail and apply the dice for unarmed strike ? Same with any non human like body part ? Wings etc

2nd since I'm a lizard man I have claws is there any way to switch between natural attacks and unarmed Strikes?

And my question for the build what class would work better for warder or stalker ?

Thrasing Dragon is a 3rd party feat, so probably find their forums and if you want specific advice.

But from what I can find from the "The Art of the Blade, Thrashing Dragon" section: "Many Thrashing Dragon maneuvers require that its practitioner be wielding two weapons (one in each hand or one weapon and unarmed strike), wielding a double weapon, using natural weapons, or be unarmed to utilize them."
Seems to imply that you can use Unarmed(only) to satisfy the "multiple weapons" clause.

Normal rules for adding Natural Attacks to a Full Attack action with weapons is that if you are using weapons at all (and Unarmed counts as a weapon for this) all Natural Attacks become Secondary Attacks if they weren't already. IE -5 to hit, and 1/2 str on damage.

Warder or Stalker, again, both are 3rd party and I haven't looked at either ... so I have no opinion.


Stalker is the 3/4 BAB class with lots of abilities, warder is the full BAB class with a bit less. Either's doable. Dervish defender is the warder archetype for TWF.

Switching between unarmed and natural attacks doesn't work particularly well.

Generally you don't have to use a hand to make an unarmed attack. You might want to if you're using handwraps as your magic weapon, but kicks etc. are an option if your hands are full. Trying to use your claws and also get your full attack with unarmed strike is likely to get books thrown at you though.


Warlord with the Steelfist Commando archetype is great for unarmed combat. With a dip in Scaled Fist Unchained Monk (Cha to AC and few nice extras), you can build a great brawler.
