The Way of the Lobster Rage Fist is taught to no student, through no teacher or institution. It is whispered through rage and ale into the minds of the despaired. A master of the Lobster Rage Fist is shockingly similar to the fighting style of a tavern brawler but with one crucial difference... You have lobsters tied to your hands! Your shrill battle cry mixed with you charging forth into battle, lobsters tied to your hands, is often a silly sight but many enemies underestimate your power just as those who mocked you in the past.
