[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9020039, member: 6704184"] I think my recalcitrance toward the boxer monk is simply that I don’t know what you can add to the boxer concept to make it not mundane, not wholly “martial”. Like fencing gets called an art, and has some almost occult history, but boxing is called “the sweet science”. To me, that is pure fighter territory. Unarmed Battlemaster in the meantime, but certainly I could see a subclass. Maybe call it a Pit Fighter, to let cover a little more than just straight boxing, conceptually, but Pugilist if you don’t want it straying from boxing as such. But I’m open to idea of what the flavor would be for a mysterious order of boxers. I really like chains, but they have to be within a round, or from one round to the next at the longest. Like Street Fighter combos, tbh. Or Legend of Dragoon attack chains. I’m gonna set this spinning in my brain box and see what comes out next time I have free time. No. Not all mystic orders are sacred orders, and not all sacred orders are especially esoteric or any more mystical than everyday practice of a given faith. They are different concepts. [/QUOTE]
