 The skill scaling of Unarmed Combat should be put into perspective. At 16 skill:
 *Unarmed Combat deals 19 base damage, and attacks a bit slower than 0.7 delay.
-*A [[morningstar]] deals 17 damage (after M&F skill), and attacks at 0.7 delay. In addition, a morningstar can be [[enchant]]ed and [[brand]]ed. A +0 morningstar with just about any brand will surpass UC at this skill level.
+*A +0 unbranded [[morningstar]] deals 17 damage (after M&F skill), and attacks at 0.7 delay. In addition, a morningstar can be [[enchant]]ed and [[brand]]ed. A +0 morningstar with just about any brand will surpass UC at this skill level.
 At high enough skill, Unarmed Combat is around the level of the strongest two-handed weapons (before considering forms). But there is a huge chunk of the game where you are weaker, equal to, or just slightly better than a weapon wielder.

 __NOTOC__
 The '''Unarmed Combat''' ('''UC''') skill determines the effectiveness of all attacks made with your character's fists, [[claws]], [[Octopode|tentacles]], and other forelimbs. It increases the damage, [[accuracy]], and [[attack speed|speed]] of your unarmed attacks. It does not boost [[auxiliary attack]]s, except for the off-hand punch done without a shield.

 ==Useful Info==
 By default, Unarmed Combat has a base damage of 3, [[to-hit|accuracy]] of +6, [[attack delay|base delay]] of 1.0 decaAut, and a [[mindelay]] of 0.5 decaAut (reached at 27 skill). UC itself functions like any other [[melee weapon]], though your fists cannot be [[enchant]]ed or [[brand]]ed normally.
-However, each level of Unarmed Combat skill gives different benefits than other weapon skills:
+While using Unarmed Combat, [[Manifold Assault]] only strikes half as many targets, and the damage formula for [[Detonation Catalyst]] is changed.
 * Increases [[#Offhand punch|offhand punch]] damage and its chance to activate.
+*The [[to-hit]] boost is the same as other weapon skills (+0.5 to-hit per level).

-Many forms have high base damage, so you don't need to train ''that'' much Unarmed Combat skill to effectively use them. For example, [[Dragon Form]] has 24 + UC base damage, assuming 16 [[Shapeshifting]] skill. Even at 5 UC skill, that's enough to pulverize your enemies. Of course, you should still train at least some skill, to boost accuracy and speed of your attacks.
