Half-Orc Racial Favored Class Option Brawler


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Is there any point to taking this option? Am I missing something?

This option is 1/4 level advancement in brawler's Unarmed strike damage, However Brawler's damage increases every 4th level. So to get any benefit you need to take this for 16 Brawler levels to increase you damage 1 category to 20th level damage. The only other benefit is to take it 20 levels and get Level 20 damage to the close combat group.

It looks to me like this option was written as if the damaged increased every 5th level instead of 4th. If this was the case then you would be getting a damage increase every 4th level. ie. 4th = 5th, 8th = 10th, 12th = 15th, 16th = 20th.

Do you agree? Does this need to be house ruled or F.A.Q.ed to every 1/3 level.


No, because you'll be getting the boost early. So yes at level 16 do you finally progress a full step ahead. But you'd have a lv16 damage at lv13. SO it's not huge but if you wanted to multi-class out, or if your levels were only going so high you can get the damage sooner than later.


You'll get to 1d10 a level early, 2d6 two levels early, and 2d8 three levels early. Seems alright to me.


Thanks, I was looking at the table and my brain just skipped over the getting it a level or 2 earlier. Stupid Brain.
