We know that the Fighter can go one of three routes, at least according to R&C: Defense (Sword and Board), Offense (THW) and Hinder/Control. So an Unarmed Combatant class (who would be a striker, btw, according to R&C), could go Mystic, Brawler, or (Something).The Mystic would look a lot like the 3e Monk's powerset. Perhaps more focus on special moves like Stunning Fist or other features/special moves he taps into.The Brawler would be a strength athlete, like the Strongest Man in a circus, or in a Fantasy setting, he'd be like Hercules. Grappling, throwing, and all-out slugging opponents. I can see a Mule Punch style haymaker that makes an opponent lose AC or to-hit because he's staggered from a blow. The Something could be something I'm missing. Either just a straight quick martial artist (lots of kicks and hits; flurry?), or someone stealthy, more like an unarmed assassin. Or this could be the Grappler/Thrower, and the Brawler could be a straight damage dealing striker. Alternatively, the Monk as it is in 3e could have a different Power source like Ki, and the non-mystic martial artist would likely be a Martial character. If I had to choose, I'd prefer to see the non-mystic first, and see the Monk with the other Ki power source classes (Ninja, Samurai, etc).</blockquote>
