    Sounds like a fun build, Tysoyaha. I am a huge fan of unarmed with two punch cat builds under my belt, though I take a very bare bones approach to it because I don't typically craft much, but I like how you've explained the various techniques and I respect that you don't abuse the alchemy enchanting. Out of curiosity, how did you rp the crafting?

    Thanks man, yea the intention was to provide a varied and interesting unarmed experience that would limit ones reliance on the crafting skills. I only began using them really late in my playthrough, but honestly strategic use of the tactics provided could easily make this build viable without them (depending on the difficulty you're playing). Anyway, if you are playing on a really high difficulty and do in fact want to craft some stuff then training these skills actually roleplays quite well. In the real world, Chang Tao Ling is largely credited as having established the Chinese Alchemy tradition, and Taoist Herbology is a common spiritual practice. The Elder Scrolls version would take a similar approach to potions, using them as a tool in his journey of body-spirit cultivation. As for enchanting I treated it as a craft or artform that a Taloist monk would use as a form of meditation. Using it to connect the body and the mind, to learn patience, and to work toward achieving internal balance.

    Unarmed remains almost totally ignored by me too this day. Despite excellent punchy pussy builds, a category this falls into with added inebriation, I still have to do a dedicated unarmed playthrough one day. As others have said, that you have found something unexplored and new, along with great presentation, makes this an awesome thing to read.

    If you've got Ordinator, there's absolutely no reason to continue unarmed-less. I enjoyed the playstyle pre-Ordinator well enough, but it's the bees knees now. Spellfists are currently my favorite playstyle :D

    I totally want to put an end to the unarmed-lessness, and can't imagine not playing with Ordinator these days as it is indeed the cat's sack! Spellfisting sounds erotic, or do I have the wrong end of that stick? :D

    I... I don't know how to answer any of that w/out my mom coming over and taking a wooden spoon to my knuckles xD

    Haha :D I totally believe you Shin! In no way, shape, or form have you modded your game in order to get the best possible RP experience a Spellfist could offer. (Now PM me the mod details) :p

    Yea, spellfisting is what I was attempting to accomplish when I discovered the drunken boxing stance. Unfortunately, I just tested it and the glitch doesn't work on SE because you're no longer automatically unarmed after reverting back to human form. It's a shame you can't combine drunken boxing with elemental punches, because that would be the ultimate monk character in my opinion.
