Slight change to Brawler fighter perk.

[Poolson]

What?: Change the level 8 perk in Brawler from Improved Criticals to Circle Kick.

Why?: Flavor, mostly. I realize that Improved Criticals is inherently better, mechanically speaking, but Circle Kick is a cool feat with not a lot of builds that can actually afford to take it due to feat prerequisites, or out of feat accessibility. I think it'd have a cool thematic flavor. I'd suggest Whirlwind Attack, but Circle Kick is to another target and requires you to be unarmed, unlike Whirlwind Attack, thus being more true to the theme of "Brawler".

Extra notes: While we're at it, can we make fighter perks once every 5 to 10 minutes, rather than 1/rest? The fighter perks, while nice, are rather limited and I feel they don't need to be hindered by a 1/day function.

Circle kick is terrible. I like the fact that the brawler perk currently gives you two standard feats for free, allowing you to invest in more thematic feats at your own discretion. Like stunning fist, deflect arrows or even circle kick if you're a masochist.

Circle Kick, unfortunately, is a feat that you would rather not have, not even for free.

That said, I think the brawler perk should have 1 single change. It should give you a small boost  (a bit of damage and a bit of AC perhaps)  for fighting unnamed AND with no shield. It always bothers me to see 'brawlers' fighting in full armor and shield, it almost doesn't make sense and it looks horrible from a thematically point of view.

Now this, I'm 100% for!
