How does nightmare fist work?

Silver Crusade

It states "While fighting within an area of magical darkness, you gain a +2 bonus on damage rolls with unarmed strikes, or a +4 bonus against opponents that are shaken, frightened, or panicked. You also gain a +2 morale bonus on Acrobatics and Intimidate checks."

Does that +4 bonus apply to all weapons or just unarmed strikes? its worded kinda weird so i would like some clarification.

Seems like it's either:

a) '+4 bonus on damage rolls with unarmed strikes against opponents that are shaken, frightened, or panicked.' - or -
b) '+4 bonus (to unspecified rolls) against opponents that are shaken, frightened, or panicked.'

I'd guess it is supposed to be option A...


I'm guessing it's option a unless you have the Ascetic Style line or something similar.


Definitely only applies to unarmed strike. "+4 bonus against opponents that are shaken, frightened, or panicked" doesn't say what the bonus is to, so we must draw that information form the previous sentence, which says "on damage rolls with unarmed strikes".
