Base Class: Monk
Brewmasters are martial artists who distill their inner chi into potent elixirs and volatile ales. They stride into battle with a grin, staggering like drunks yet striking with calculated precision. Through their brews, they deflect pain, empower allies, and turn chaos into art.
Keg Smash
You learn to weaponize your keg as an explosive projectile of frothing chi-brew.
As an action, you expend 1 Focus Point to throw a keg to a point you can see within 30 feet.
The keg explodes on impact, showering the area in steaming ale.
Each creature within 10 feet of that point must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier).
On a failed save, a creature takes damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier, and is knocked prone.
On a successful save, it takes half damage and isn’t knocked prone.
Immediately after using this ability, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

You gain proficiency with brewer’s supplies.
After a long rest, you can concoct a number of brews equal to your Wisdom modifier(minimum of 1) of your choice, chosen from the Brew List below.
