Brawler

Thrown back against a crowd of roaring people, a human spits blood as he raises his fists to protect his head from another mighty blow from his opponent. A huge orc bring down his mighty first towards the humans face. The Human bats the blow to the side and catches the orc in the side of the head with his fist. The ground shakes as the orc falls to the ground and the crowd cheers.

A bugbear stands in front of a dragon. The terrifying majesty of it bears down on her as blood runs down her face and her arm hangs lifeless at her side. But she stands strong, takes a deep breath, pops her shoulder back into place and wipes her brow, then charges fist cocked at the dragon.

A goliath takes a nearby chair and slams it over the back of a hooded assassin, then takes a bottle off the table and trows it at the head of another across the room. Both fall unconscious to the ground while the goliath just looks at their allies brining.

Brawlers are not always the strongest, but they will take all the beatings you throw at them and not let it knock them down. Either on the streets of an uncaring city or in the harsh wilderness with no tools or friends to help, brawlers have learned to face the world around them with nothing but their fists and anything within reach.

Never Unarmed Brawlers learn to fight with anything they can hold in their hands. While some will receive formal training about fighting from a mentor or even a school, all brawlers know how to use their fists as deadly weapons just as well as a chair. Their armor is their skin, and even though it may not be the strongest all brawlers know how to keep going no matter how many hits they take. Some brawlers use these skills to entertain the masses and strike fear in their enemies, others just focus on the skill of their craft and finally some get others to grant them with magic to bolster their natural abilities.
