Abilities

Channel SmiteCost Expend a Harm or Heal spell.

Malarunk siphon's the destructive energies of vitality or void energy through a melee attack and into his foe.

Make a melee Strike and add the spell's damage to the Strike's damage.

This is void damage if Malarunk expended a harm spell or vitality damage if he expended a heal spell. The spell is expended with no effect if his Strike fails or hits a creature that isn't damaged by that energy type (such as if he hit a non-undead creature with a heal spell).
Shrieking Frenzy (primal) —
Thrown Weapon Mastery — When Malarunk throws a weapon, the weapon gains the deadly d6 weapon trait. Furthermore, when Malarunk throws an improvised weapon, it doesn't take the -2 penalty for using an improvised weapon, nor does he take the penalty for using that weapon to make a lethal attack instead of a nonlethal attack.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLAND / VERTICALAnvil immobilizes enemies so the Crasher can deliver a full Channel Smite without needing to chase or reposition.
WeaverLAND / VERTICALWeaver repositions enemies into clusters for the Crasher's sweep hatchet and thrown weapon follow-ups.
MenderLAND / VERTICALCrasher's moderate durability creates a tempo need for a Mender to sustain it through extended engagements.

PUNISHES
