Seal Clubber

Description

Seal Clubbers hail from the frigid Northlands, because one character class always hails from the frigid Northlands. They rely on their Muscle to survive.

Skills

Most Seal Clubber skills are learned from The Brotherhood of the Smackdown. All Seal Clubbers begin the game with Seal Clubbing Frenzy and Clobber.

Level	Skill	Description	Effect	Type	MP Cost	Train Cost
0	Seal Clubbing Frenzy	By clubbing a stuffed seal at your campsite, you can work yourself into a frenzy. Your Strongness will increase for a period of time.	Seal Clubbing Frenzy (+2 Muscle) (5 Adventures)	Non-combat	1	N/A
0	Clobber	Adventurer smash!	X damage	Combat	1	N/A
1	Lunge Smack	By lunging before you smack, you can deal more damage than if you smack without lunging. Or if you lunge after smacking instead, but who does that?	A normal attack that deals 5 extra damage if it connects	Combat	1	125 Meat
1	Fortitude of the Muskox	Muskoxen are legendarily resilient. If you cut them, they bleed, but then they stop bleeding and they're good as new. Now you can be like a muskox!	Regenerate 1-2 HP per Adventure	Passive	N/A	125 Meat
2	Audacity of the Otter	You become infused with the fighting spirit of the Otter, making your critical hits more critical than usual.	Critical Hits do 3x damage	Passive	N/A	250 Meat
2	Hibernate	Using this skill lets you sleep for an entire Adventure, fully restoring your HP and replenishing all of your get-up-and-go.	Heals all HP Well-Rested (+3 Stats Per Fight) (5 Adventures)	Non-combat	0 (1 Adventure)	250 Meat
3	Blubber Up	Covering your rippling muscles with blubber will make you more difficult to grab onto. Not that anybody's going to want to, with all that blubber.	Blubbered Up (+5 Moxie) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	7	500 Meat
3	Cold Shoulder	You've learned to channel the icy climate of the Frigid Northlands into your blows. Fortunately, you've also learned to stop yourself from making bad ice puns as you do so.	Your Smack skills will deal 5 additional Cold Damage	Passive	N/A	500 Meat
4	Thrust-Smack	This is a thrusting smack with your weapon. It will do double the usual amount of damage to your opponent if it connects.	2X Weapon Damage	Combat	3	750 Meat
4	Wrath of the Wolverine	Have you ever seen a wolverine go after a herd of shrews? It's crazy. It just doesn't stop. It's like every shrew it takes down multiplies its desire to take down shrews. Anyway, you're like that, and also every enemy looks like a shrew to you. NOTE: Only true Seal Clubbers have the fortitude needed to contain Fury. Other classes are weak, and would be torn apart by it.	Lets you build Fury by defeating opponents (up to a maximum of 3 gallons of Fury)	Passive	N/A	750 Meat
5	Super-Advanced Meatsmithing	You are a master of the Tenderizing Hammer. The echo of generations of Seal Clubbers reverberates in your muscles as you beat the meat into shape. Shapes, actually -- the shapes of powerful weapons.	Can smith weapons using ores. Can smith whips using skins. (Costs 1 adv.)	Passive	N/A	1250 Meat
5	Buoyancy of the Beluga	You can't keep a good beluga down. In fact, you can't even keep a bad beluga down, because the buoyancy of a beluga is unrelated to the strength of its character.	Regenerate 1 HP per Adventure for each gallon of Fury	Passive	N/A	1250 Meat
6	Eye of the Stoat	This skill imbues you with the spirit of a tenacious and vicious (and incredibly accurate) stoat. Your Thrust-Smacks and Lunging Thrust-Smacks will hit more often, you'll fumble less often, and your chances of scoring critical hits will be improved.	Thrust-Smack and Lunging Thrust-Smack skills hit more often. Lunging Thrust-Smack deals more damage Fumble less frequently +.5X Critical Hit Chance (stacks with equipment bonuses)	Passive	N/A	1750 Meat
6	Scowl of the Auk	The Frigid Northlands are no place for birds. Well, no place for happy birds, at least. This skill lets you be like a bird -- perpetually upset and aggressive.	Scowl of the Auk Weapon Damage +10 (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	8	1750 Meat
7	Hide of the Walrus	Your skin becomes as thick as the hide of a walrus, affording additional protection against enemy attacks.	+50 Damage Absorption	Passive	N/A	2500 Meat
7	Furious Wallop	This skill lets you channel some of your Fury (about a gallon's worth) into a powerful, precise strike.	A regular attack that is guaranteed to be a Critical Hit	Combat	5 (1 Fury)	2500 Meat
8	Claws of the Walrus	You become one with the spirit of the War Walrus, adding 4 damage to each of your melee attacks.	Weapon Damage +7	Passive	N/A	3250 Meat
8	Club Foot	Through some cruel accident of evolution, 99% of the nerve endings of every sentient creature in the universe are concentrated in their feet. You've learned to take advantage of this fact by reversing the natural order and bringing the stubber to the toe.	Weakens enemy defense If you are Furious, it also stuns them	Combat	8	3250 Meat
9	Tongue of the Walrus	This skill gives you the ability to lick your wounds, healing 30-40 Hit Points and making you feel less beaten up.	Heals 30-40 HP Removes Beaten Up, Grilled, Half-Eaten Brain, Missing Fingers, Axe Wound, and Sunburned effects	Non-combat	10	4000 Meat
9	Seething of the Snow Leopard	Snow leopards are always really mad. You probably didn't know this, because they're also really difficult to see when they narrow their eyes, and narrowed eyes are a classic sign of feline anger.	Gain additional bonus damage from Fury	Passive	N/A	4000 Meat
10	Lunging Thrust-Smack	This is a thrust-smack with a lunge added to it for good measure. If it connects, will do triple damage to your opponent.	3X Weapon Damage	Combat	8	6000 Meat
10	Ire of the Orca	Orcas are always upset about some supposed indignity they suffered in the ancient past. And they're also really large, so they have more volume to contain their upset in.	Fury capacity increases to 5 gallons	Passive	N/A	6000 Meat
11	Rage of the Reindeer	This skill fills you with the rage of thousands of subjugated reindeer. This rage will make you stronger, especially when fighting guys with beards.	Rage of the Reindeer (+10% Muscle and +10 Bonus Weapon Damage) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	10	6250 Meat
11	Thirst of the Weasel	Weasels aren't native to the Frigid Northlands, so the ones who manage to survive there have done so by being vicious, bloodthirsty little killers. And given what jerks normal weasels are, that's really saying something.	Your Smacks restore 1-2 HP per gallon of Fury	Passive	N/A	6250 Meat
12	Double-Fisted Skull Smashing	This skill allows you to wield a one-handed weapon in each of your hands. It'll make it much easier for you to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.	Allows dual-wielding	Passive	N/A	7500 Meat
12	Cavalcade of Fury	Sometimes you get so mad that just yelling and stomping around aren't sufficient. Sometimes your anger deserves a parade.	Consumes all of your Fury and performs multiple savage attacks	Combat	15	7500 Meat
13	Northern Exposure	This skill allows you to remember your upbringing in the Frigid Northlands. You'll be as snug as a bug in a rug, even when the wintry wind whips willy-nilly 'cross your nose. Think... the opposite of Sam McGee.	So-So Cold Resistance	Passive	N/A	10000 Meat
13	Northern Explosion	You've learned to unleash the chill winds of your homeland on your unsuspecting, previous-comfortably-warm foes. It's cold out there.	A powerful attack that deals Cold Damage	Combat	16	10000 Meat
14	Musk of the Moose	By concentrating very hard, you're able to exude moose musk from your pores. The smell of the musk will make you more likely to encounter monsters when adventuring.	Musk of the Moose (Increases Combat Frequency) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	10	12500 Meat
14	Precision of the Penguin	Have you ever noticed that when penguins dive into frigid water, they always land exactly where they intend to? No? Well, that's just because you weren't watching carefully enough. But now you'll be able to, because of the extra precision afforded to you by your newfound similarity to penguins.	+1% chance of Critical Hit for each gallon of Fury	Passive	N/A	12500 Meat
15	Pulverize	This skill allows you to smash certain pieces of equipment into their magical essences with a tenderizing hammer.	Can smash equipment into tasty, bite-sized chunks of the essence of the elements, including non-elemental damage. Grants access to The Malus of Forethought for Muscle classes.	Passive	N/A	15000 Meat
15	Pride of the Puffin	Like a puffin, you are capable of feats of staggeringly little humility.	Pride of the Puffin (+10 to Monster level) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	30	15000 Meat
Spookyraven Manor Quest Skill
N/A	Snarl of the Timberwolf	This skill makes you all snarly and spooky. Like a timberwolf. Timberwolves, if you didn't know this, are both the snarliest and the spookiest animals north of the arctic circle.	Snarl of the Timberwolf (+10 Spooky Damage) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	10	N/A
Sea Floor Skill
N/A	Harpoon!	While underwater, you're capable of fashioning any weapon into a makeshift harpoon, and throwing it with deadly accuracy.	X damage; can be used on land as well	Combat	30	N/A
Crimbo '09 Skill
N/A	Holiday Weight Gain	Everybody puts on a little extra weight during the holidays, but you've figured out how to do it any time of the year!	A Few Extra Pounds (+X HP) (10 Adventures)	Non-combat	10	N/A
The Traveling Trader Skill
N/A	Iron Palm Technique	By focusing your chi, or something, you've learned how to make the palms of your hands as hard as iron. The practical upshot is that you can hold swords by the blade and hit people with the hilt.	Iron Palms (Swords count as clubs) (intrinsic effect)	Non-combat	1	N/A
