So this is my first campaign in any tabletop rpg and I decided to go with the brawler class and after my friend explained character creation I ended up having some problems
First being that after seeing the brawlers flurry ability I want to ask if it's entirely possible to go purely unarmed or will my damage slowly fall behind compared to a TWF.
In addition to this what are good wondrous items, feats and gear to boost my damage later on if unarmed is possible?
If purely unarmed isn't possible what is a good starting melee class besides fighter?
