Unarmed and one Handed skill

[Ihateeverybody]

Does anyone know if One Handed Skill applies to Unarmed? I know using Unarmed (Vanilla) does not raise (to my knowledge) One Handed.

I was wondering about the Duel Wield branch though or Power Attacks, Critical kills etc. Would having those help Unarmed?

I think the only skill tree in game with any modifiers to unarmed is in heavy armour, it does make a considerable difference, though if you really want to do better without a weapon get the unarmed damage enchantment from Riften's ratway too and maybe play as Khajiit.

As for other perks having an effect, I actually don't know, i'd just assumed it only applies to one handed weapons and not barehanded.

Unarmed doesn't fall under any skill tree. There is only one perk for it, and it is under the heavy armor tree. No other perk (from any tree) has any effect on it.

Thanks. I kind of thought that but wanted to be sure. Kind of hoping someone would know something I didn't.
