Fighter Brawler & Gloves of Dueling


Rules Questions


Does the Fighter (Brawler) qualify for Gloves of Dueling?


gloves if duelling

Quote:
These supple gloves grant the wearer a +4 bonus to her CMD against disarm attacks, attempts to sunder her wielded weapons, and effects that cause her to lose her grip on her weapons (such as grease). The wearer doesn’t drop held weapons when panicked or stunned.

You will gain this benefit, as it is universal.

Quote:
If the wearer has the weapon training class feature and is using an appropriate weapon, her weapon training bonus increases by +2.

You don't get any benefit from this element, as the brawler gives up the weapon training class feature.

The dueling gloves are very nice...but the annoying thing for fistfighters is that they take up the same slot as cestus.


You should never, ever give up weapon training.

The baseline fighter, with weapon training, is better at unarmed combat and the close combat weapon group than the brawler.

Weapon training allows for Advanced Weapon Training:

  • Armed Bravery
  • Focused Weapon
  • Trained Grace
  • Gloves of Dueling
