Iron Body Disciple

Some warriors temper steel; iron body disciples temper their own flesh. Through relentless conditioning and mastery of disciplined combat, they learn to turn raw strength into precise, devastating strikes, unleash brutal flurries, and shrug off wounds that would cripple lesser combatants. As their training advances, muscle and bone become as unyielding as iron, leaving no vulnerable point for an enemy to exploit.
