Brawler

Brawler
(SPECIAL BASE CLASS)
Some people just like to fight. Whether it be in a pub, defending a friend's honor, or in a back alley, robbing an old man, a brawler's primary ability is using his fists to bludgeon his enemies senseless. Some become professionals, fighting in sports events for money and fame. Others remain largely unknown, fighting for the sheer pleasure of it. Yet others become adventurers, realizing their talents can be used on monsters as well. All brawlers share one thing in common: a preference for fighting with their fists. However, they can still pick up weapons and swing them with awesome efficiency, making them deadly combatants.
