Unarmed Damage is a derived statistic in Fallout 3.
Unarmed Damage affects (only) damage done with Unarmed weapons and fists. There is a separate statistic for Melee Weapons called Melee Damage. Strength does not influence Unarmed Damage (it only influences Melee Damage).
Unarmed Damage is governed directly by the Unarmed skill, with Unarmed Damage being equal to your Unarmed skill divided by 4. For example, with a Unarmed skill of 100, Unarmed Damage is 25. Any damage done by Unarmed weapons like the Deathclaw Gauntlet is added to this value.
