Playtesting continues. An interesting direction for the Powerhouse. This class did well in the 1st level playtest, coming in just behind the Star in total number of wins. Abandoning his Unarmed perk for a Wealth boost, the Powerhouse enters the intermediate round with a much better armor and weapon selection, allowing this character to be dangerous at range, while still being someone you never, ever, want to let get within arm's reach of you.

In the words of George Carlin, "It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat".
