Description:
The Pugilist is a Warrior-line class that uses hand-to-hand combat over the choice of using a weapon.
Pugilists deal less damage with each attack compared to a swordsman, but due to not needing to take the time needed to swing a sword around, they can chain multiple attacks in the same time span as it takes a swordsman to land a single slash.
The class does not come without demerits, as a Pugilist needs to be dressed light to be able to perform their more acrobatic, and powerful, martial arts. This makes it vital for them to learn the art of dodging enemy attacks, as their defenses will be extremely thin due to the lack of decent armor.
On the other hand, thanks to the class focusing on using the body, one will be able to use even more of the "potential" that is better known to the world as "status values", even if it is not including the usage of weapons.
Mira's comment: Those with swordsman classes will only be able to use their STR stat when attacking with a sword and will be no better than your average Joe regarding anything else unless they train themselves.
Garami's comment: Some races can tap into that "untouched potential" as a racial bonus of sorts, but classes are the best in the end.
