Unarmed Combat with weapons

I'm with Helborn and RobW. I would not allow the UC talents to apply to a weapon attack. The thought is so bizarre, I wonder if we have misunderstood the question.

What seemed more likely to be the question is whether or not you can make two attacks on a given turn -- one with the weapon and one with an unarmed hand (or leg).

Let's say a fighter has a one-handed sword in one hand and the other hand is empty. He can make 2 attacks. One with his sword and one with his bare-hand (punch). However, IIRC, both attacks will be -6 DX -- unless this fighter has the Two-Weapon talent. You could just as easily replace the punch in this scenario with a kick. In either case, I would use the UC talents known to govern whether or not and how a "defend" is handled for the unarmed hand (or leg) instead of the Two-Weapon rule.
