Discipline of Pugilis

Discipline of Pugilis is a skill set involving the usage of hand-to-hand combat.

Overview
In order to fight without a weapon, one must become the weapon. That is the one shared goal of the many styles that comprise the Discipline of Pugilis. To fight unarmed against armed, it’s not enough to be good at attacking. It’s necessary to sublimate the fear of being struck, to suppress the pain of your wounds, and turn your mastery to limiting your foes’ attacks.

The weapon of the Brawler is their own body, clearly. Any part of the Brawler's body is considered equivalent to a 'fist weapon.' At times, one may choose to use very small weapons that can be wielded without changing up the user’s unarmed style: some daggers, kukri, knuckle-dusters, and so forth are acceptable augmentations.
