Martial Archetype: The Pugilist

Ever played a Strength Monk? If so, this subclass is for you. The Pugilist stands as a stark alternative to the weapons-based martial archetypes of 5th Edition's Fighter, specializing instead in strong fists, a healthy body, and excellent facial hair.

While the subclass is flavored strongly around the idea of a boxer, and being a strength-based alternative to everyone's favorite martial arts class, the Pugilist can be applied much more broadly! From back-alley bruisers to unyielding paragons, the Pugilist is useful for anyone wanting to turn taking punishment into an advantage!
