Martial Artist

Access You're from Alkenstar or the Mana Wastes.

You infuse your handwraps with black powder. On your first melee Strike each round with an unarmed attack, Knuckle Duster, or Black Powder Knuckle Dusters, you deal an additional 1 fire Damage. If you critically succeed at an attempt to Shove while in this stance, the target is pushed back an additional 5 feet.

Requirements Your last action was a missed Strike with a melee unarmed attack.

You have trained rigorously to use all parts of your body as a weapon, and when you miss with an attack, you can usually continue the attack with a different body part and still deal damage. Make another Strike with a melee unarmed attack, using the same multiple attack penalty as the missed Strike, if any.

You slam your hands together to unleash a deafening blast. Creatures in a 15-foot cone cone take 3d6 sonic damage, with a Basic Fortitude against your class DC. Creatures that critically fail their save are also Deafened for 1 minute. You can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds as your hands recover from the thunderous vibrations.

At 8th level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage from Thunder Clap increases by 1d6.

Trigger An attack or effect would deal damage to you.

With your strong will and even stronger body, you shrug off an otherwise devastating blow. You gain resistance equal to 2 + half your level against all damage from the triggering attack or effect.

You know how to deliver focused, powerful blows that bypass your enemies' resistances. Make an unarmed melee Strike. If this Strike hits, it deals two additional weapon damage dice and ignores an amount of resistance to physical damage (or to a specific physical damage type) equal to your level. This Strike counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty.

If you are at least 18th level, increase the additional damage to three weapon damage dice.

Requirements You're in Powder Punch Stance.

You ignite a pinch of black powder in a foe's face. Choose an adjacent creature. It must attempt a Fortitude save against your class DC.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.

Success The creature is Dazzled for 1 round.

Failure The creature is Blinded for 1 round and dazzled for 1 minute. The creature can rub its eyes as an Interact action to end this blinded condition.

Critical Failure The creature is blinded for 1 round and dazzled for 1 hour.

Frequency once per minute

With a burst of effort and speed, you weave a nimble path through your many enemies, striking each in turn as you move past them. You Stride; this movement doesn't trigger reactions. You can attempt a melee Strike up to three times at any point during your movement, each against a different enemy. Each attack counts toward your multiple attack penalty, but your multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until you have made all your attacks.

Frequency once per minute

Trigger You critically succeed with an unarmed Strike against an opponent.

Your powerful attack causes damage that reverberates through your opponent's body, shaking muscle from bone. The creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage with a Basic Fortitude save against your class DC. If it critically fails, it immediately dies as your blow tears apart its body internally.
