Way of the Brutal Fist

Monks that practice the fighting style of the Brutal Fist have forsaken things like peace and believe it to be a false dream to make people hope for something that will never come. Instead, Brutal Fist Monks have dedicated themselves to creating their own peace by amassing riches and followers. They are adept in using small, sharp weapons as well as their fists.

Monks of the Brutal Fist fighting style often dislike helping others, but will do so if the reward is great enough. They tend to stay away from churches, monastaries, and places with many people overall unless absolutally nessesary.
