Body Points: (3) 1 / 3

Brutes are thieves and bullies who would have made good fighters if they had any ambition and only half a brain. While they are not completely lacking in the brain department, they are still a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Brutes frequent bars and taverns, exhibiting their strength with displays of arm wrestling, fighting, and other rowdy behavior. Brutes frequently form gangs who work in tandem to lure an unwitting victim to a secluded spot where superior numbers overpowers them. Usually this does not result in the death of the victim, for then the brute would not be able to enjoy the humiliation and fear the victim suffers. As with most common thugs, the brute is not as courageous when encountered singly and is more likely to cower and acquiesce when confronted with greater numbers.
