Path of Asura
To walk the Path of Asura is to walk the path of destroyers. Chain-breakers, Wheel-smasher and Obstacle removers who sees a barred door as something to be punched through so others may follow. Fate itself crushed by their fist. Direct and often lacking in subtlety, but sometime it's what the world needs, the more philosophical adhere might argue. Sometime, the only way to end a circle of death and suffering is to rage against the wheel and break it.
Fist of Asura
When you take this path at 3rd level, your unarmed attacks counts as melee weapon. while you are unarmed and you aren't wielding a shield, your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier on a hit and your unarmed strikes deal double damage to objects and structures.
While you're raging, you can take a bonus action to enhance your unarmed strikes. Until the start of your next turn, your unarmed strikes deal an extra 1d6 damage.
