VOLN AVENGER

The dead do not rest. Neither do you. Your bare hands carry Kai's blessing. A JAB may brand the undead with Kai's Smite, and as you grow, so can a grapple, punch, or kick. Rise far enough, and your strikes call down the Symbols of Diminishment, Turning, and Retribution, without spending a scrap of favor.
