{"name":"Brawler","overview":"[h1]Big Talk, Big Hit[\/h1]\r\n[hr]A man walks down the street late at night, trying to make it back to his house. He is suddenly ambushed by a group of street thugs. They command him to either give up all of his possesions or face death. The man cooly tells them that if they don't step back, he'll break all of their bones before they can even land a cut on him. Feeling mildly threatened, one bandit rushes him with his dagger. In exactly one second, the bandit promptly gets his face caved in with a high-speed palm-strike. The others, now cowering, proceed to bolt off, throwing their gold at him in the process.\r\n[h1]Raw Power[\/h1]\r\n[hr]Brawlers can be found anywhere. While Monks train themselves at monasteries, brawlers train themselves with strict training regimes. Brawlers, especially experienced ones, are not to be trifled with. They can strike things with enough power to break both their body and mind. Because of their simple raw strength and varied alignments, they are usually hired as body-guards and crowd-controllers.\r\n[h1]Building a Brawler[\/h1]\r\n[hr]Brawlers focus on two things: Hit things hard and take hits as hard. For your stats, put your highest stats in Strength and Constitution. After that, choose between Dexterity or Charisma. Brawlers can take advantage of not needing to use physical weapons, instead relying on their own strength. Armor is usually on the light side, as mobility is always crucial.","hitdice":"d10","hitpointsfirstlevel":"10+Con Modifier","hitpointsathigherlevels":"D10+Con Modifier","armorproficiencies":"Light Armor","weaponproficiences":"Simple weapons and unarmed strikes","tools":"None","savingthrows":"Strength and Constitution","skills":"[ul]\r\n[li]Acrobatics[\/li]\r\n[li]Athletics[\/li]\r\n[li]Intimidation[\/li]\r\n[li]Investigation[\/li]\r\n[li]Perception[\/li]\r\n[li]Survival[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n","equipment":"[ul]\r\n[li]Padded Armor[\/li]\r\n[li]Dungeoneer's pack or Explorer's pack[\/li]\r\n[li]10 darts[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n","spellcasting":"","features":"[h1]Unarmored Defense[\/h1]\r\n[hr]At 1st level, your AC equals 10+Dex+Constitution.
