I recently received a request from a player that missed the fact that Barbarian didn't have a good unarmed option in 5e without cobbling together a bunch of feats or multiclassing. He's seen most of the other homebrew I've worked on, so he asked if I could find one or put one together. I've run across a couple online that have some elements that I enjoyed, but nothing that really satisfied either of us as it stood. So I set about building one using some of those elements and some of my own work. Here it is. Let me know if I ran too wild with anything or if there's something you think that I overlooked. Thanks.

Edit: I've done a couple of proofreading changes. More importantly, I included a power attack and unarmed attacks counting as magical. Most importantly, I rewrote slightly so that, by default, you choose one aspect but your DM can let you pick and choose. In this way it's just like the Totem Barbarian. This required some extra verbiage to make sure that someone can't skip one level of Pugilist just to pick up the better benefit at the next milestone without penalty.
