Bruiser Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Bruiser Point Buy is specifically designed to allow a character to sacrifice all defensive capabilities in favor of superior offense, or people who just hate shields. As a result, Bruiser Point Buy only allows the use of a weapon (preferably a two-handed one), and bars the usage of any sort of Shielding or Tanking Abilities or mechanics. Bruiser Point Buy Abilities require the Stance Ability provided for free as soon as a single Point Buy Pack is purchased from this selection.
