Brawler

Not every fighter learns the lessons of history, war theory, and its artistry from books and mentors as a high knight or noble. Some fighters learn brutality and ruthlessness from life experience. These fighters are the brawlers. 

Those who choose the life of a brawler are accustomed to a rough-and-tumble fighting style. In combat you prefer to use what the gods gave you.  Unarmed strikes and natural weapons are the tools of the trade. Most brawlers have seen hard times, perfecting their fighting prowess even in childhood. Nothing came easy, but you are stronger for it. You have developed the skills necessary to hold your own in close-quarters combat without the need for a weapon. Like others who walk your path, you have developed a sense of sportsmanship. You only challenge those who in turn will challenge you and you will do anything to win. Weaker creatures are simply not worth the time. Grappling, shoving, and throwing an enemy is second nature to brawlers. Although brawlers come in all shapes and sizes, one thing is certain... you are always ready for a fight. 

Your path grants you features at 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.
