Brute

You live to fight, and revel in hand-to-hand combat. With strong offensive power sets to inflict pain, and impressive defenses to take it, you're the best there is in a straight fight. Protracted battles only makes you mad, and the madder you get, the more damage you deal. You lack ranged attacks, which could leave you vulnerable to hit and run tactics without some allies to cover you.

Fury

You are driven by a deep rage that comes out in battle as you suffer pain and injury. Whenever you begin your turn with your current hit points at one half or below your maximum, and you are not incapacitated or unconscious, you become infuriated. While in this state, you have the following benefits:

• Brutal Critical: Whenever you score a critical hit with one of your Primary or Secondary Power Set features, you can roll one additional base damage die. A base damage die is considered the damage caused directly by the feature, and does not include any additional dice (such as Endurance Dice) you may add to it. At 9th level, this bonus increases to two additional dice, and at 15th level it increases to three.
• Reroll Damage: Whenever you use one of your Primary or Secondary Power Set features that causes damage to a target or creature, and any damage die roll result is 1, you may re-roll that die but you must use the new result. This includes all damage dice rolled, including Endurance Dice.

Your fury lasts at least until the beginning of your next turn. Once infuriated, you will retain that state even if you are healed above one half of your maximum hit points. It ends when you begin your turn only if you are fully healed, incapacitated, or unconscious, or you choose to end it yourself. It will also end if more than three rounds pass without you being hit by an attack or attempting to make an attack of your own against a hostile target. You cannot begin the process of a short rest while infuriated.

Taunting Attacks

Whenever you directly cause damage to a hostile creature through an attack or feature, and that creature is aware of your existence and can see or otherwise perceive you, it is taunted until the end of its next turn. A taunted creature will have disadvantage on any attack roll made against any target other than you, and all creatures aside from you have advantage on any Saving Throws made to resist or avoid attacks made by that creature. You can only taunt one creature at a time. If you attack a second creature before the end of the first creature's next turn, the first creature is no longer taunted by you. A creature that is targeted for taunting by multiple opponents will be taunted by the highest level opponent, and after that the most recent.

Taunt

At 4th level, you can use your Taunting Attacks feature at range. Use your Bonus Action to select a location you can see within 70 feet. Each hostile creature within 15 feet of that location must make a Wisdom Saving Throw or be taunted by you until the end of its next turn.
