MAM Gloved Pugilist Style

Gloved Pugilist

The way of the gloved pugilist is a simple one – footwork, guards, and punches. Lots of punches.

Trappings: Restraining Gloves – Heavily padded gloves that reduce the impact of a punch. All punches deal only ¾ damage (rounded down) and can only render opponents unconscious rather than kill them.
