Path of the Iron Fist (boxer)

The Iron Fist style was born in the brutal arenas of the Old World, where warriors fought not for glory but for survival. The founders of this style were slaves, stripped of weapons and armor, forced to rely on their bare hands to entertain bloodthirsty crowds.  To endure, they hardened their bodies through pain and discipline, turning fists into weapons as deadly as any blade. They discovered that their own suffering could fuel their strength, each strike breaking not only their enemies but also their own bodies.

Iron Fist Strikes (3rd Level)

Your fists are deadly weapons, but they hurt you as much as your enemies. While raging, your unarmed strikes deal 1d10 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. However, whenever you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you take damage equal to your Constitution modifier +2  (minimum of 3).

• You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks.
• You can reroll a damage die of 1 or 2 for your unarmed strikes, but you must take the new roll.

Reckless Flurry (6th Level)

Once per turn, when you take damage from your own unarmed strike, you can add an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage to that strike.

Additionally, if you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with an unarmed strike, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your Barbarian level.

 

Steel Body (10th Level)

While raging, reduce the damage you take from your unarmed strikes by 2 (to a minimum of 0).

In addition, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks while not wearing armor.

Iron Sacrifice (14th Level)

Once per rage, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can choose to deal double damage. However, you take damage equal to half the total damage dealt.

Additionally, whenever you’re reduced to 0 hit points while raging, you can make one final unarmed strike as a reaction before falling unconscious.
