Soulbeast Bone Breaker (5e Class)

(5e Variant Soulbeast) Bone Breaker

A hulking Half-Orc alternates kicks and punches on three different humans all around him in a tavern, the crowd around the fight cheers as the Half-Orc emerges victorious.

A nimble Human on the run, uses his momentum to hop onto, then kick himself off a wall to land a skull-shattering kick on a city guard. He continues running, using his dexterous build to his advantage.

The man starts a flurry of attacks in a primal rage that sets him apart from other unarmed fighters.
