The whole point of the mauler would be to have a class driven to use heavy 2H weapons without dual-wield or shield. It could possibly be shoehorned in as a weaponmaster subclass if you don't want an entirely new class.

Hm, good point. I had forgotten that warriors tend to dual wield, since it's been a while since I played one, and the light weapons tend to have Extra Attacks, which combines nicely with Mastery Tonberry gauntlets.

I'll see what I can do to make a Mauler class more interesting than just a restricted warrior. (A.k.a. I'll open a new Wiki page and list some ideas, you should feel free to edit/contribute. Then we'll discuss somewhere or other where we think it's too broken/unbalanced/hard.)

Cool, should be fun to spitball ideas. also a correction: chris' char links were entro not heng.
