The RPI genre is one that lacks a certain diversity, in that there are so very few of them. Release of the SoI/Harshlands collaborative codebase was an attempt to change that, but it hasn't (yet).
So, what does all of this mean for you? It means that you're going to have to, more than likely, settle on some of the current games. Armageddon isn't technically classless, but I do believe there is much room for advancement outside of what your class gives your originally (via the 'teach' command). Armageddon uses the class/subclass system to determine initial abilites a fellow might have based upon their background, not as a stencil for future character development. As such, you could probably learn any skill (assuming you learned the prerequisites, and given a few statistical limits).
For the unarmed combat issue... is it really important? After all, you are after an RPI, and there exists so many opportunities for entertainment and general fun outside of combat, let alone unarmed combat.
Hope this helps,
