Well i havent noticed any decrease in skill mods when i have the knuklers equiped and they are an unarmed weapon (eg brass knuckles) they cant be used by other brawler classes without the reduction and they cant perform their special moves with them equiped and we can so this leads me to believ that no you do not loose skill mods with them equiped. Also I do way more damage then what my knucklers spec at so this tells me that my unarmed damage skill mod isnt affected iether.

I tested it tonight and the speed increase with the VK's is obvious. They are rated at 2.3, but I was hitting at a rate of about 1.36. I will test more as this seems too fast for Unarmed Speed of +35, but I don't know theseskill modsmean exactly. As for the damage, I'm used to 1.5x the base damage listed on the weapons. With my VK's max damage of about 122, I was hitting for up to 289 w/o special moves. Making TK Novice has improved my situation more than I had imagined. Bare fisted, I'm doing143 - 157 vs. 82 - 97 as a Master Brawler. The speed has also increased from roughly 3.1 to 2.5. ...and I thought I was having fun before


It seems the Unarmed Skill Mods are still valid as I expected. Still, I can't explain the damage. It seems bare fisted damageshould have beenupped to be closer to VK's rather than stack with them? What is the base damage modifier for actual damage for the knuckles? For every other weapon I've used, including bare fists it's been 1.5, according to my calculations.

I finally have made it to TK Novice and now that I can use my VK's again, I have a question:


Do the unarmed skill mods apply when using the knuckles? I presume that they will except for damage. e.g. With Unarmed Accuracy of +50 etc., is that used with the knuckles?The weapon skill trees on other brawler classes (those with weapons)do not include damage bonuses so it would seem logical that my UA Damage bonus does not apply. Considering the widespread use of knuckles, am I correct to assume that the UA Accuracy, Speed and Toughness still apply?


Thank you,

All the unarmed mods apply when using VKs including the dam modifier since VK is considered an unarmed weapon (bit of an oxymoron....)
