Actions

• Greataxe. +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12+4) slashing damage. The brute can reduce the damage to 9 (1d10+4) slashing damage to knock the target prone or shove it 5 feet in any direction.

• Javelin. +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., range 20/60 ft. if thrown, one target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) piercing damage and the target is pushed 5 feet away. If the target is pushed into a wall, the javelin pins it there, reducing the target's speed to 0 until removed (escape DC 15).

Bonus Actions

• Offhand Attack. If the brute is wielding two greataxes, it makes an attack with its offhand greataxe. On a hit, it instead deals 6 (1d12) slashing damage, or 5 (1d10) slashing damage if it knocked the target prone or shoved it.

Reaction

• Cross-Block. In response to being targeted by a melee attack, if the brute is wielding two greataxes, it adds 4 to its AC against that attack.
