Bruiser

While adepts are typically known for a certain level of grace and speed, there are other traditions that value strength, resilience, and power more than agility and grace. Known unflatteringly as bruisers, these formidable adepts can stand toe-to-toe with foes that many of their contemporaries would prefer to dodge around.

Crusher

Sunderer

Starting at 11th level, you become especially skilled at wrecking the protective measures of others. As an action, you may make a single melee weapon attack against a creature within range. If you make this attack using a weapon with the heavy or two-handed property, add an expertise die to your roll. If you hit, the target takes additional damage equal to your martial arts die and must make a Strength save against your maneuver DC. On a failure, choose either its armor or shield (if applicable). The chosen gear gains the broken condition. On a success, the creature takes additional damage equal to your martial arts die. Once you have used this feature a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum once) you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest .
