 +====== Martial Artist ======
  
 +
 +The pugilist with scarred hands and cauliflower ears, the wandering monk, the contemplative philosopher who clears the mind by performing certain moves, and the bloodthirsty pit fighter might all be described as martial artists, despite coming from wildly different backgrounds and having varied attitudes toward fighting. 
 +
 +What unites them is their effort to turn their bodies into living weapons. These characters, and others like them, can use their fists to land blows as if they were wielding clubs. They kick, elbow, claw, and headbutt, taking their foes apart one strike at a time.
 +

 +
 +//**Tremendous Throw:**// When you get a critical success on a roll to attack a target of your Size + 1 or smaller with an unarmed strike, you can use this talent to force the target to make an Agility roll. On a failure, you push the target up to 1d6 yards and the target falls prone.

 +//**Impromptu Shield:**// You can use a reaction when you have a creature grabbed and a creature you can see attacks you to pull the creature you are grabbing into the attack’s path so that it becomes the target of that attack instead.
 +
 +
 +//**Neck Breaker:**// When you deal damage to a target creature with an unarmed strike and the target becomes injured as a result, the target makes a luck roll with 1 boon. On a failure, it dies from a blow to the neck. Creatures whose Size is 2 or more higher than yours as well as those that lack tangible bodies or suitable anatomy are immune to this effect.
 +
 +
 +//**Size Means Nothing:**// When making unarmed attacks, you ignore banes incurred from targeting creatures larger than you.

Once you use this talent, you lose access to it (luck ends).
