Way of the Kure (5e Subclass)
Way of the Kure
A man with Black eyes and blue iris' is surrounded by an entire group of armed warriors with swords, knives, and bows, he simply laughs at this force, wondering why they think so few men could be a threat, when suddenly, his skin starts to go purple, Gigantic veins pulse on his body, and he charges at the two closest men with speed that didn't feel human, instantly dislocating both of their necks in a single motion, he turns to the other soldiers as they all stare in fear, warning them that not a single one can escape. This Subclass is based off the Kure clan in Kengan Asura.
