Building a Khajiit monk?

So I'm hoping that this question will be easy to answer, but does the Fist of Steel perk from Heavy Armor apply to a Khajiit? They already gain improved unarmed attacks so does the attack bonus apply to them as well and further enhance unarmed combat damage?

Obviously this would make no sense, because how would a Khajiit's claws actually do any damage when they are covered by a combination of leather and steel, but I thought I would ask anyway. I may try it out, just as soon as I finish having a load of fun with my Nord Paladin build.

I have done this exact thing, and as far as I can tell, Khajhit's claws DO NOT stack with the heavy armour perk Fists of Steel. When I had the perk, and had heavy gauntlets with a rating of 17, I was not doing nearly double damage than I was without them.

It still looks and is cool to do though

From what I understand, they do stack. With Legendary Dragon Armor and the claws you end up doing massive damage, more than the Dragon Armor can account for. Enchant as much as you can to improve your heavy armor rating and you'll see massive improvements as well. You'll end up one hit killing a lot of creatures. FYI even though the Dragon Armor is better, the Daedric Armor looks sweet with the Khajhit.
