Brawl
Fighting with the body rather than a wielded weapon.
Overview
Brawl covers attacks and fighting techniques that use the body, including fists, feet, teeth, and claws. The defining distinction is the absence of a wielded weapon. Its specialties must identify a limited circumstance or opponent rather than provide a bonus to virtually every attack.
