Accustomed to rough-and-tumble fighting using whatever weapons happen to be at hand, you gain the following benefits:
- You are proficient with improvised weapons.*
- Your unarmed strike deal an additional d4 for damage.
- When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple or shove the target.
- You are skilled at using your improvised weapons to distract your target. When you hit a creature with an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to make a second attack against the target in an attempt to distract them. On a hit, this second attack deals no damage. Instead, the target's next attack is at disadvantage. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
- You have a knack for finding a weapon in the most unassuming objects. You have advantage when looking for an improvised weapon with an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check.
*The guidelines for using improvised weapons are found on pages 147-8 of the Player's Handbook. Proficiency with improvised weapons allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with them. Whether or not an object is considered an improvised weapon is at the DM's discretion.
