"A combination of martial arts, non-ranged weapons in hand-to-hand, or melee combat - knives, sledgehammers, spears, clubs and so on."

Unarmed attacks are divided into two groups: primary and secondary. At any one time you will have up to four attacks available: the strongest primary punch/kick you meet the requirements for (a plain punch/kick if none), and the strongest secondary punch/kick you qualify for, if any. The secondary attacks have a higher AP cost and cause more devastating effects.

Attacks without any weapon are considered as "no-handed-weapon" attacks, so you can kick\punch even having all your legs and arms crippled.

Your base melee damage increases only if your Strength is equal to or higher than 7.

Although it's called unarmed, you can use Unarmed-Class Weapons to increase damage of your punches.
