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.

Stance Ability

The Bruiser Stance Stance Ability is required for all Bruiser Point Buy Abilities. This Ability cannot be point bought, but is included for free as long as at least one Bruiser Point Buy Pack has been purchased. This Ability does not do much besides enable further Bruiser Abilities. As a general ground rule. Stances cannot be Countered, Prevented, Canceled, or interrupted in any way. Please note, if your character has this Stance Ability, they cannot acquire any other Stance Abilities, regardless of their source.
