Beak

Tactics

With the Beak class, a cryture is able to build their damage output turn after turn. Their basic Peck power gets a roll bonus, making it particularly good for landing hits. Drill Peck is able to dish out extra damage while also getting a chance to Soften up the target to deal more damage later on and with Bill Keening, the cryture can take a major action to get a double boost to their damage output. This is especially useful if they can't engage an enemy for a turn. The paragon power, Tenderizing Strike, may only do standard damage, but it Softens on any hit, giving the cryture a reliable way to stack debuffs on a foe.
