Abilities
Camouflaged Step — Murschen gains the benefit of the Cover Tracks action in forests and subterranean settings without moving at half Speed.

Effect Murschen makes two unarmed Strikes. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purposes of resistances and weaknesses. Murschen's multiple attack penalty applies normally to these Strikes.

Red Ruin Stance (stance) — Requirement Murschen is unarmored
Effect Murschen takes the stance of the red ruin, designed to tear away chunks of flesh like a ferocious beast. Murschen can make red claw unarmed attacks. These attacks deal 1d10 slashing damage; are in the brawling group; and have the finesse, sweep, and unarmed traits.
While in this stance, when Murschen would reduce his Frightened condition value by 1, he reduces it to 0.
