[QUOTE="Kurashu, post: 2932547, member: 41198"] [SIZE=6][B]Goliath Face Crusher (GFC)[/B][/SIZE] Any Goliath respects the awesome presence of a barbarian crushing those that stand in his path. However, even those barbarians give wide berth to the intimidating Goliath Face Crusher. Goliath Face Crushers are the epitome of a goliath barbarian, smashing all who stand in their way. Even those with the mightiest armor fear the onslaught of a goliath face crusher, whose hammers move through their defenses like a hot knife through butter. [B]Hit Die:[/B] d12 [SIZE=4][B]Requirements[/B][/SIZE] To qualify to become a Goliath Face Crusher, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

A returning great hammer flies through the air back to the Goliath Face Crusher, returning just before his next turn, so that it is ready to use again in that turn. Catching the great hammer when it comes back is a free action. If the Goliath Face Crusher can't catch it, or if he has moved since throwing it, the great hammer drops to the ground in the square from which it was thrown.

[SIZE=4][B]Ex-Goliath Face Crushers[/B][/SIZE] Any Goliath Face Crushers who become lawful loses all spell-like and supernatural abilities he gained from this class.
