Mettle
Mettle is a skill resource used by Brawlers. Certain skills build Mettle (up to a maximum of nine) while others spend it. When out of combat, Brawlers will gradually decrease Mettle down to three.
The Brawler gains increased damage from each point of Mettle they have, tracked through the 
Battle Flow effect.
