Fist Dealer (5e Class)

Fist Dealer

Who needs weapons with these two little beauties that I have in my body. I call my left fist "Love", the right "tenderness". I don't know what I would do if I woke up without them, they are my life, they are everything I have done and everything I have wanted.

You will probably call me ridiculous when you say that I have nothing else, but these two little ones are always there for me, they never tell secrets and they always solve what I need Don't call me a barbarian or a fighter, my terrain is the streets and the school of life, I have no training other than defending my loved ones and hurting bullies. The only magic in this place happens inside the ring.

Enhanced Warriors

Fist dealers are obsessed with fighting. There's nothing more important to them than winning combats and proving themselves against tougher and more powerful opponents, and they are willing to go to great lengths in order to enhance their natural attributes. As any type of warrior, Fist Dealers are fully dedicated to their physical training, carrying heavy weights and striking hard surfaces to increase their bones durability. However, to really attain the peak of performance, a fist dealer will always rely to more extreme methods.

Fist dealers will rely on alchemical steroids, performance enhancers that improve temporarily the dealer's strength, focus and speed, to the detriment of their health. These steroids are the reason why enhanced warriors are feared, but also the reason for their short lives. To cope with the pain from the substance abuse, they also turn to even more negative habits, such as turning to heavy drinking in order to anesthetize the pain they constantly feel.

Others will turn to magic, carving their bodies with magical runes and unleashing primordial destruction with each punch. Regardless of method, a fist dealer will do whatever it takes to gather more power, even if this can put them in deadly danger.
