Final Pugilist Archetype Ballot is Live!

Hello there backers!



And at the end of the ballot they get a special treat! So if you've been debating kicking up your pledge amount to get in a vote on the final Pugilist archetype, now's the time! I'm looking forward to finding out with all of you what our last archetype's gonna be!Very excite,Benjamin

The final Pugilist archetype ballot is live and in the digital hands of the $5+ backers! They have three options this time around, including...

Lucha Libre. Some pugilists find that fighting brings out the entertainer in them. Pugilists in the Lucha Libre fight club adopt exaggerated personas to do battle and their fighting style is as effective as it is entertaining. Mechanically I could see this archetype getting some generic abilities like “High Flyer” that would let them jump really far / high (and maybe deal more damage when they attack out of a jump) as well as having features that depend on the persona they pick (personas would be based on common pro-wrestler character archetypes.) If you’ve been begging me for a pro-wrestler or luchador archetype for pugilist, this is the one to vote for!

Way of the Closed Fist. Combining elements of the pugilist with elements of the monk, the Way of the Closed Fist is a fight club for those pugilists who elevate their art to a science. Mechanically this would give pugilist some monk tricks and mirror the Way of the Open Hand. Since the core class has gone so far to distinguish itself from the monk, an archetype dedicated to blurring the line again might be fun!

Whiskey Fist.

Pugilists in the Whiskey Fist fight club like fighting almost as much as they like drinking. When a Whiskey Fist pugilist gets in his cups he turns into the proverbial raging bull in the china shop. Thematically, the Whiskey Fist is a fight club for hard drinking, hard fighting types that want a pugilist whose greatest strength is his greatest weakness (and most likely mechanically represented by a rage-like feature).
