// Traits

Slab of Meat. The brute ignores the first Pinned result inflicted on it each scene.

Wrecker. The brute deals double damage to cover, doors, and barricades, and can convert a section of Heavy Cover to Light Cover with one full turn of work.

// Actions

Crushing Blow. Melee Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d8 + 4 bludgeoning damage, and the target makes a Toughness Save DC 12 or is hurled 10 feet back and knocked Prone.

Sweep. The brute strikes every creature within reach. Melee Attack: +5 to hit each target. Hit: 1d8 + 4 bludgeoning damage.

Morale: Too dim to flee while enemies are close; wanders or rampages if its handlers die.

Tactics: Point it at whatever the party is hiding behind and let it walk through the return fire. It forces repositioning, not chases; anyone who kites it wins, anyone who holds ground loses their cover. Cult handlers nearby keep it aimed.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: Its handler's goad and chain-leash, plus whatever crushed valuables were behind the last barricade it ate.

Enemy Dossier

GM Reference

The Mutant Brute is what happens when the warp decides a human should be a battering ram. Swollen muscle, plated hide, and just enough mind left to hate doors, shields, and people.
