[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 487653, member: 1213"] The brawler becomes MUCH more powerful if you use brass knuckles. Thy are cheap, can be made mastercraft/magical, make you fists do perm dmg, and give them +1 to dmg. Here is the map for the char that I made for a PBP game Profession: Dilletante for the wealth bonus...starting wealth with a lucky roll = 15 L1: Strong Hero 1, melee smash Personal firearms prof, brawl...Bab/DMG w/16 str = +5, Attack = 1d6+6, or an additional +1 to +3 to both depending on if the DM rules that you can buy mastercraft items (+3 mastercraft brass knuckles are W14) Buy and undercover vest (also 14), and a silenced TEC-9 (to be cheap and concealable. If you are in a setting where you can carry guns around easily, buy yourself an M16 or something else big and powerful). You can buy derringers and pathfinders, tiny (thus very concealable gns) for no wealth loss. You should be able to hit at say, +3 (with 14 dex, which should be your second-highest score). L2: Strong Hero 2. This is not a very intersting level. Pick up Knockout Punch. You will almost always threaten a knockout (and guaruntee a daze) if you get the jump on an opponent, and at this level their fot saves are going to suck. L3: Fast Hero 1, Light armor Proficiency, Evasion. You now have a 20 AC to complement your impressive melee AND ranged power. L4-5 Soldier 1-2. Take Weapon Focus And Spec in unarmed strike. Your fists are now +8 to hit and do 1d6+8 + 1-3 mastercraft L6: Soldier 3 ...get +1 to attack, defense and will saves...two feats...From here you can go wherever you want. You can take the 2 Offensive/Defensive Combat Martial Arts feats (granting access to the Martial Artist AdvC), or can take Improved Initiative to help out your knockout punch and one of the MA feats OR can bring your gunmanship up to date with Advanced Firearms and Burst Fire. L7+ You are quite flexible now. Perhaps you should combine the Soldier and the Martial Artist. [/QUOTE]
