thanks all very much for the reply to my question and giving me some useful information in the process, I just can't see why unarmed would be in the game unless you could use it in character creation of some sort. with abilities like life leech/mana leech, thousand strikes, evade etc etc.
i'll just have to fiddle around with it and and see what I come up with but the information given here has been very useful and I shall put it to good use.
Thank you all
