TH has asked all the correspondents to come up with this information, I am offering anyone that wants to contribute to do so. Please follow this template if you do.
What we need is a write up ofthe profession. Not essays or novels, but 1 to 2 page, concise summaries in which we can build a vision doc.
We need:
Profession title. Brawler
Summary of skill points and path.
List of abilities and what they do in the world. What is fun / unfun, useful and not useful for each one. Anything that is labelled unfun or not useful must have an objective reason.
Combat Role Summary
Grouping Summary.

Brawl - definition
Etymology: Middle English
1 : to quarrel or fight noisily : WRANGLE
2 : to make a loud confused noise
I would like to see the Brawler profession become more of an all around scrapper class.
The current model as it exists is pretty good, I think that there are some additional animations and specials that could be implemented to make pursuing Master Brawler more enjoyable.
Each tier of brawling expertise (+box unarmed, +box 1hand, +box 2hand, +box polearm) should confer a unique ability, animation or special making the "brawler" path more fun and desirable.
All of these should be geared to making the Brawler a more scrappy, melee instigator. I think you could even assign horizontal tier titles:
Punk
(+1 box unarmed, +1 box 1hand, +1 box 2hand, +1 box polearm) :
Extensive use of Taunt. A more viable form of Rescue that aggros mobs to melee with you.
Roughneck
(+2 box unarmed, +2 box 1hand, +2 box 2hand, +2 box polearm) :
Elbow Smash - A quick attack with med kinetic dmg. that can be done with ANY MELEE weapon equipped and has a slight chance of stun.
Basicly, the brawler throws a quick elbow inbetween attacks with primary weapon.
Thug
(+3 box unarmed, +3 box 1hand, +3 box 2hand, +3 box polearm) :
Body Check - A quick attack with med kinetic dmg. that can be done with ANY MELEE weapon equipped and has a slight chance of knockdown/posture change.
Basicly, the brawler usestheir primary weapon to push off against their opponent, forcing them into a different posture.
Bruiser
(+4 box unarmed, +4 box 1hand, +4 box 2hand, +4 box polearm) :
Headbutt - A quick attack withlight kinetic dmg. that can be done with ANY MELEE weapon equipped and has a slight chance of dizzy and hits the mindpool.
Basicly, the brawler gives a head bash inbetween primary attacks.
Master Brawler
Shoulder Charge - A cone attack burst run that can be used with any weapon equipped, causes the MB to charge through hitting all opponents in his charge line (cone) and has a slight chance of applying any number pf random state-based effects.
Basicly, the MB barrels into their opponents wreaking havoc!
It should be these kind of things that differentiate a Brawler from the specialists. A Brawler is someone who loves to fight and can improvise with any weapon under any circumstance. Brawling should be less about skill and finesse and more about experience, grit, attitude, and determination.
