No, I meant why is a clawed paw so different from a fist. I've already advocated for the damage from parrying unarmed attacks being reduced, I think that issue's already resolved.
I mean: at exactly what point do we go from being unarmed to being armed?

Deer don't parry wolves.

They do if they have antlers.
