Brutes, toughs, heavies, thugs: Adepts of the Bear would laugh at their opponents' puny attacks if they weren't so busy destroying them.

Mighty Lift Lift, move, push, pull, and throw heavy loads.

Sunder Objects Deal extra damage to inanimate objects.

Rank 2

Resolute Charge Move swiftly when Charging.
Break Bonds Automatically escape from mundane bonds, and gain bonuses when breaking free from magical imprisonment.

Rank 5

Thundering Charge Active: Instead of choosing a single target to charge you may pick a point within a double movement. You charge straight to the chosen point. Your weapon roll for the charge attack applies to any targets who are in reach during your charge to a maximum of Rank targets. Additionally environmental features (doors, chairs, tables, trees) in a direct line take weapon rolls which do not count against the maximum targets. This attack may not be combined with other Maneuvers such as those granted by Fighting Styles. 4 Mana.
Barricade Interrupt the movement of a creature passing within Reach, attempting to stop them in their tracks and ending their turn.
Elemental Resistance The adept builds a natural resistance to the elements which can be enhanced for a time.
Sunder Magic The adept's sundering attempts can break even magical items and enchantments.
