With punching now almost a viable form of melee I'm testing out STF characters that rely on using Heavy Gauntlets to smack down peasants. So far I've come up with:
Level 30
* Strength: 18
* Agility: 24
* Hit points: 65
* Unused skill points: 3
* Skills to attributes: 14
* Ironflesh: 6
* Athletics: 8
* One Handed: 111
This allows plenty of agility to avoid incoming swings whilst darting in to strike. Enough STR to equip heavy gauntlets and do weight based damage. Does PS affect punch damage? I've deliberately excluded shield skills as if you're gonna punch then a shield is a cop out (chamber or GTFO).
Can anyone top this build? I've had success with my Ivan_Drago character (heavy gauntlets are a bitch on upkeep at 1100 or so).

Yes, PS does affect punching (and kicking) damage, iirc. Once saw Allers smack a dude in chainmail to death. :mrgreen:
Don't think you'll be doing much damage with that build, though. Even I have trouble punching dudes down with 10 power strike.

Remember, even with a pugilist build spawning without a weapon is crime (according to Meow)!
So spawn with a wooden stick!

That being the case, here's my modified build:
* Strength: 25
* Agility: 15
* Hit points: 76
* Skills to attributes: 10
* Ironflesh: 8
* Power Strike: 8
* Athletics: 5
* One Handed: 111
Enough ath for the rope-a-dope if you're careful. Good PS, good IF. 25STR for the extra 1HP. Spawn with a hatchet (good for shields), wear Heavy Gauntlets and mid range armour (need moveability).

My built
The_Pugilist
Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)
Strength: 21
Agility: 21
Unused skill points: 3
Skills to attributes: 14
Power Strike: 7
Athletics: 7
One Handed: 111
(put 3 remaining in if if you pro purist or shield if you want more easy)
one perfect built for punching
(because it's stf and therefore no money at first I used a long dagger and owned(in a way))
I recommand shield for high pinged people (like me) BUT only use the round buckler why? because heavy gauntlet should block hit but not arrow and that what this shield does!
I must admit tough that I more love your one, but you can only beat up peasant with it.
also question: do 1h wpf affect fisting?

I find my 24 18 build seems to do this rather well, bit weak times though, might want more ps.
