Talk:Iron Fist

Does it increase damage even if you have a Unarmed weapon equipped instead just fists (eg. Power fist)?
 * Yes it does. This perk is REQUIRED later in the game if you're a power-fist jocky. Everyone else, it's somewhat useful if you run outta ammo or you skimp on weapon maintainance (but that's your own fault).-accountless avenger


 * I see this perk has a STR requirement. Uh...interesting.

Why would you use a power fist if you have a deathclaw gauntlet? It ignore DR. If you want my opinion (you probably don't) I think the gauntlet owns the fist.

"...Shishkebab into a powerhouse (60+3fire/5s).??" --gamer102 06:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Base with Pyromaniac: 35 + 3/5s = 50
 * max with Pyromaniac (Str 10): (35 + 6.5) + 3 x 5s ≈ 42 + 3 fire/5s ≈ 57 total
 * if DR = 45, then base: 35 x (1 - 0.45) + 2/5s = 29
 * max without perks (Str 10) (35 + 6.5) x (1 - 0.45) + 2 x 5s ≈ 33 total
 * with Pyromaniac (Str 10): (35 + 6.5) x (1 - 0.45) + 3 x 5s ≈ 38 total

Fallout New Vegas cut content?
Under ranger stella's stats it says she has the iron Fist perk which gives her a whopping +30 to unarmed damage, either someone is being a idiot or this perk is in FONV but not obtainable.
