    How far should a naked Pugilist expect to be able to get in our game?

    I have a dedicated pugilist character who mostly runs around in store bought light clothing.

    (most of the characters I like to play in our game are of very simple design with style above usefulness as a general rule)

    He is a GM pugilist which I'm currently attempting to fill in all the innate skills which go to improve the character's pugilism.

    My general over all plan is to have the character every "hand punching magic" filled in after he fills in the innate mele skills.

    He's only been hunting in a 2-3 skull area thus far until I can build up his defensive skills a bit to compensate for the no armor thing. I'll suit him up in some actual armor once he's a bit more filled out. But for now, he just runs around in a swim suit or pirate outfit.

    I'm thinking I may be able to get him into 4 skull areas some day soon but not today.

    So what do you think? Any pugilists out there to draw a few thoughts from?
    His name of course is "Popeye"

    they've added a stun to stone fist since you've been gone, so it's a little more viable than it was.

    The thing with the game is that to get good at specific magic skill, it is best to have high attunement, so you need to train the unrelated skills to high level even if you do not plan on using them.

    It's a fantastic idea, @Time Lord ! I am currently out due to lack of cannibalistic skill sets.

    It would be nice if there was some sort of handwrap type item/equippable to fill the 'weapon slots' that could be enchanted/mw'd to make this sort of build viable. You lose a lot of stats leaving those slots empty. But then you kinda just end up being a mage that punches stuff.

    I want a monk skill tree very badly, but there's too many things that need to be fixed before we go down that route, imo.

    Has that ever stopped them from introducing [80% of] something new before?

    Upper cut and rabbit punch skills would be nice.

    :eek: Gauntlets of Lead = Heavy Armor Pugilism 150% :confused:

    That's an interesting actual thing :D Wow! Great Idea! o_O Now where do I find some! :cool:

    This would mean that heading down the light armor skills trail would be totally useless, yet do wonders for higher skull level hunting ability and usefulness.

    I used to beat the hell out of dragons with gauntlets of lead, leather armor, and a “this is viable” attitude \o/
