[edit] Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Unarmed Fighter.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Proficient with no armor or weapons.

Strength Shield(EX): At 1st level, an unarmed fighter may choose to gain his Strength bonus to AC rather than his Dexterity bonus. When adding Strength to AC there is no maximum bonus based wearing heavy armors, an unarmed fighter still loses his bonus to AC when caught flat-footed.

Unarmed Strike(EX): At 1st level, an unarmed fighter gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. An unarmed fighter’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that an unarmed fighter may even make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for an unarmed fighter striking unarmed. An unarmed fighter may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.

Bonus Feat: At every even numbered level, the unarmed fighter gains a feat from the list of fighter bonus feats. He does not need to meet all the prerequisites to obtain a feat.

Damage Reduction(Ex): At 3rd level, an unarmed fighter gains Damage Reduction. Subtract 2 from the damage the unarmed fighter takes each time he is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. At 7th level, and every four unarmed fighter level thereafter (11th, 15th, and 19th level), this damage reduction rises by 2 point. Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0.

Strongly Nimble(EX): At 4th level, an unarmed fighter may use his Strength bonus instead of his Dexterity bonus. For example, He could use his Strength bonus on his Reflex save instead of Dexterity bonus.

Master of Opportunity(EX): An unarmed fighter learns to master the battlefield, he slip in between enemies as if they aren't there. From 5th level onwards, the unarmed fighter never provokes attacks of opportunity by any action that he takes. For example, he can leave a foes threatened square without provoking one.

Strongly Witted(EX): At 7th level, an unarmed fighter may use his Strength bonus instead of his Intelligence and Wisdom bonus. For example, He could use his Strength bonus on his Search roll instead of Intelligence bonus or he could use his Strength bonus on his Will save instead of Wisdom bonus.

Strength Boost(EX): At 9th level, an unarmed fighter gains 2 Strength. He gains an extra +2 at level 13 and 17.

Strength is Beauty(EX): At 10th level, an unarmed fighter may use his Strength bonus instead of his Charisma bonus. For example, He could use his Strength bonus on his Gather Information roll instead of Charisma bonus.
