The path of the Brawler is a straightforward one filled with adrenaline and excitement. By charging headfirst into battles, they unleash unrivaled strength and skill, making each strike devastating. Despite their preference for direct confrontation, Brawlers are far from mindless brutes, often surprising their opponents with strategic maneuvers and calculated moves amidst the chaos. Being a worthwhile fighter also comes with a fair bit of expertise on the subject. Brawlers are strong and cunning warriors, able to deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time. They possess the unique ability to launch multiple rapid attacks, outmatching opponents who can only strike once or twice before succumbing to their onslaught. They are tough and dangerous, always eager to be in the thick of battle where they can unleash their full strength. No other class rivals the Brawler when it comes to close-quarters combat prowess. Their relentless drive to dominate the frontline makes them a formidable force on the battlefield.

The downside to having this much raw power is being completely in the dark when it comes to magic. All Brawlers know is the way of the blade; it's reliable, sturdy, and predictable. This familiarity brings a sense of comfort in a world filled with uncertainty, where the straightforward path of physical combat eliminates the need for unraveling the enigmatic complexities of spellcasting. Their lack of expertise in the realm of magic renders them more susceptible to its effects, leaving them unable to harness the true power of mystical artifacts. Consequently, numerous Brawlers find themselves consumed by a heated sense of resentment when confronted with individuals skilled in the arcane arts. Is it jealousy that fuels their anger, or perhaps a tinge of pity for their own limitations? To them, the answer is simple - why bother with magic when a well-honed blade can effortlessly dispatch their foes, rendering their magical prowess insignificant in comparison.

This Adventurer class possesses an innate ability for multi-attacking and executing combo attacks with themselves. This rare skill sets them apart from others in the game, making them formidable opponents in combat situations. Brawlers possess the remarkable ability to strike even outside of their turn. In the hands of a seasoned Brawler, the number of attacks they can unleash in a round knows no bounds. They have access to a wide variety of melee weapons, allowing them to showcase their exceptional skills and knowledge in handling different types of close combat weaponry with finesse and confidence. From razor-sharp swords to heavy battle axes, they exhibit a deep understanding and mastery of these traditional, making them formidable adversaries on the battlefield.
