Effect The black belt makes two fist Strikes. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.
The black belt can substitute any number of the attacks with bo staff Strikes or attempts to Grapple, Reposition, Shove, or Trip.

Powerful Fists — The black belt's fist Strikes don't take penalties when making lethal attacks, and fist Strikes are treated as cold iron and silver.
Rapid Barrage (incapacitation) — The black belt pummels their fists in a fast onslaught. They make three fist Strikes against one target. If more than one Strike hits, combine damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. Regardless of whether any Strikes hit, the target must succeed at a DC 32 Fortitude save or be Clumsy 1 until the end of their next turn and Stunned 1 (Clumsy 2 and Stunned 2 on a critical failure).
Occult Focus Spells DC 32, attack +23; 2 Focus Points

PUNISHES
