Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 15).

BONUS ACTIONS

Break Bones. The bone-breaking bruiser fractures the bones of a creature they are grappling. The grappled creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or reduce its Constitution score by 4, reducing its maximum hit points by 2 per hit die. A creature can regain 1 lost Constitution point (and any lost hit points) with a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check or at the end of a long rest.

A creature that rolls a critical failure on its saving throw has its bones broken. If the creature has differentiated limbs, roll 1d4 to determine the broken limb (1, 2—arm, 3, 4—leg). A creature with a broken leg reduces its Speed by half (or if it only has legs, by a fourth), and a creature with a broken arm is unable to wield anything with that arm, manipulate anything using the hand on that arm, or don a shield on that arm. The broken bone does not heal until the creature’s Constitution score returns to its original amount. It regains 1 Constitution point at the end of each week. Broken bones can be mended with greater restoration or more powerful healing magic.

REACTIONS

Rabbit Punch. When a creature misses the bone-breaking bruiser with a melee weapon attack, the bruiser can use their reaction to make a fist attack against their attacker.
