1 - Brawler Subclass
You gain a Brawler subclass of your choice. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Brawler levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are of your Brawler level or lower.
2 - Reckless Attack
You can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with increased ferocity. When you make your first attack roll on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you Advantage on attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but attack rolls against you have Advantage during that time.

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Brawler levels 8, 12, and 16.

If you moved at least 10 feet, you either gain a +5 bonus to the attack’s damage roll (if you chose to make a melee attack and hit) or push the target up to 10 feet away from you.
