Assassination and unarmed combat

[Zorglub]

Does the level 12 Assassination perk allows you to attack from the back row with unarmed attacks? I ask because the description states that you can attack with melee weapons, but does not specify if you can do it while unarmed.

Because if so, I'm totally going for a back row strengh minotaur rogue with unarmed combat, assassination (12) and the fist fighter and skull hunter traits for my second playthrough.

It does work.

Thanks!
