The Pugilist

This supplement offers rules to play the Pugilist, a tough-as-nails brawler that serves as a grittier alternative to the more mystical Monk class (https://rhymeswithmenace.itch.io/the-wuxia-monk). This class draws inspiration from boxing & wrestling media, as well as the 5th Edition 3rd party class of the same name by Benjamin Huffman (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/184921/the-pugilist-class).

The design of the class incorporates some elements from the Fighter and Pit Fighter classes, with a progression that is markedly different from the Monk. Think of it this way: if the Monk is Ip Man, the Pugilist is Mike Tyson!

In addition to the two page class description, there are two pages of Pugilist-themed magic items - such as the iconic Belt of Dwarvenkind, or the brutal Mage Bane Gauntlets! Finally, there is a page of three new Pugilist-themed Monsters: the Duergar Battlerager, Mage Slayer, and Shadow Boxer.
