I'm a bit confused with how some of the brawler archetypes are supposed to work, considering the features that are replaced.
For example, both the Exemplar and Strangler archetypes replace Unarmed Strike. This isn't worded the same as monk archetypes where unarmed damage doesn't increase after a point; it simply replaces Unarmed Strike. Does this mean that the brawler loses Improved Unarmed Strike, which is perhaps their most iconic and basic feat?
In addition, neither of those classes lose Close Weapon Mastery, which is strange because to my understanding, the text says it works based on unarmed damage. Would this mean in these cases that close weapon damage scales, but unarmed damage doesn't? I'm okay with that if so, but this does need clarification.
