Brawler
Brawlers fight with knuckle and grit, grappling, punching, headbutting and assailing their opponents with their barehands and clubs of opportunity. Often found in bars, towns, and rough neighborhoods, some Brawlers are good enough to pit their skills against armed opponents or in an adventuring party. Some supplement their fisticuffs with a stout club or cross-train to learn other martial disciplines.
The player of a Brawler gets to build their own fighting style and it can be anything ranging from a well established and formalized system of fighting to just pure natural talent unique to the character as they wish, though additions to the history of the setting necessary to accomodate an established system are subject to GM modification or veto.
