Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor, your AC equals 10 + Proficiency + Constitution or Strength Modifier (Whichever is higher).
Ferocity
At 2nd level you’ve tapped into a deep well of aggression within you. Each time you start your turn surrounded by 2 or more enemies or are hit and damaged by an attack or fail a saving throw, you gain a ferocity die, which is a d6. You can have a maximum number of Ferocity die equal to your proficiency bonus. When you exit initiative your Ferocity is set back to zero and you regain hit points equal to your unsent Ferocity.
These Ferocity die can be used to fuel and enhance your melee attacks and Brawl techniques. The Ferocity die size increases as you level up, at level 9 they become a d8 and at level 17 they become d10.
If the damage die of an attack you make would be smaller than your ferocity die, you may roll a ferocity die instead. This only affects the weapon or unarmed strike damage, not any added effects. For example, if you used Spin Sweep, it would change your weapon or unarmed strike's damage die to your Ferocity die, but would not change the extra 2d4 damage.
