But I can't see that we need two base classes focused on unarmed fighting, especially if we have ways for other types of characters to dabble in it (e.g. Tavern Brawler and a fighting style).No offense, but I don't want to wade through pages of homebrew. I just want a bottom line here. I don't need a list of mechanics, even, just a few ideas on what would set a brawler apart from a monk. Now, I do agree that the monk carries a lot of weight in its fluff that makes certain other types of unarmed fighters seem a bit weird when done as a monk, but this is a perfect example of when I think reflavoring stuff can really do the heavy lifting. It's like a warrior who enters a focused battle trance in combat- it's a barbarian with the serial numbers filed off.</blockquote>
