''<big>"In the streets, nobody cares if you wanna fight fair or not. You gotta hit 'em hard, and hit 'em where it hurts 'til your right hand's runnin' red." - [[Charlie Cobbler]], provider for his family</big>''
You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more than your fair share of street fights by the time you were a teen. Forged and tempered by your brutal environment, you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or spear.

Forged and tempered by your brutal environment, you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or spear.
Your skill in unarmed combat is unquestioned, and your style very distinct. Do you rely on your overwhelmingly powerful physique to crush your foes? Maybe you fight with an unpredictable blend of strength and agility, or you might rigorously train in various forms that you can use to outmaneuver enemies with different fighting styles. Whatever your personal blend of unarmed combat maneuvers, you quickly cultivate a reputation among other fighters for your skill at holding your own against armed
combatants.


After gaining the Pugilist Entry talent, you can take talents from any of the pugilist stacks.

''Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting''
 
Graveyards are meant to be a final resting place, but all too often, undead blaspheme against the natural order. As a Grave Digger, you are devoted to keeping the dead in the ground where they belong. You have learned to master the elements of earth and spirit, bending them to your will. You are motivated by your connection to death and undeath. Perhaps you worked as a graveyard keeper, witnessed a loved one become undead, or put people into an early grave by your own hands. Whatever the reason may be, you believe necromancy is a vile kind of magic that disrupts the peace of the departed, and have spent years of your life learning how to fight back against it.

"In the streets, nobody cares if you wanna fight fair or not. You gotta hit 'em hard, and hit 'em where it hurts 'til your right hand's runnin' red." - Charlie Cobbler, provider for his family

Charlie Cobbler, provider for his family

You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more than your fair share of street fights by the time you were a teen. Forged and tempered by your brutal environment, you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or spear.

Your skill in unarmed combat is unquestioned and your style distinct. Do you rely on your overwhelmingly powerful physique to crush your foes? Maybe you fight with an unpredictable blend of strength and agility, or you might rigorously train in various forms that you can use to outmaneuver enemies with different fighting styles. Whatever your personal blend of unarmed combat maneuvers, you quickly cultivate a reputation among other fighters for your skill at holding your own against armed combatants.

Pugilist Tracks

Constitute. Your body is capable of withstanding overwhelming punishment. No matter how hard you are hit, no matter how many blows, you come back for another round.

Martial Arts. By focusing on harmony of body, mind, and spirit, you can flow between various forms of unarmed combat, going beyond the bounds of physique alone.

Pummeling. You hone your body and become inhumanly strong, capable of delivering punches that devastate your opponents.

Wrestling. A well-rounded wrestler, you have a balanced mix of offensive and defensive maneuvers and can easily grapple your foes.

Gravedigger. Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting. You have learned to master the elements of earth and spirit, bending them to your will. You are motivated by your connection to death and undeath.

Penitent. Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting. You view your flesh as a crucible for your spirit, and you will draw out the dross at any cost.
