COMBAT

Caim Bruisers are the foot soldiers in breaks that accost travelers for gold or simply enjoyment. Their penalty to AC when raging it offset by their shields, so they are fearless combatants. Once they've raged, they close in and single out weak-looking opponents that they feel they can slaughter with ease. Only rarely will a Bruiser run away from combat, for they know they will likely be killed by another member of their church for their weakness.

COMBAT

Caim Breakers are fierce fanatics of Caim, that wade into battle with a maul held in both hands, shattering their opponents weapons until they have nothing left and must submit to the strength of the Breaker. Once an opponent has no weapon, they crush them with as much force as they can, until there is little left. The first swing against a foe after breaking their weapon is always an Intimidating Strike, to hopefully leave them shaken.
