Thlipit Contestant Archetype issues?

[Seerees]

I've been looking at Thlipit and it seems like there are a couple issues.

First the Lash melee unarmed attack seems like it should have the Finesse trait, otherwise it doesn't work as well for Dex builds as it does for Str builds. Additionally when you look at the tongue and tail attack granted by Awakened Animal they both have Finesse.

Second the Powerful Lash feat has the one action symbol but the description make it sound like it's a passive buff as it has no duration or action listed.

"Seems like it should be Finesse but isnt" isn't really an issue, just a mismatch to your expectation.

The archetype focusing all around these unarmed attacks in including Lunge, a feat that only works with weapons, is an issue.

Having finesse would just be laying a trap and making the function of the archetype less clear. Half of the feats rely on Athletics, so including finesse would set people up for disappointment.
