About the game
The Trun Outcast is a special Hero Class that we put together for the Kickstarter to let Brimstone veterans and new players alike dive even deeper into the crazy world of Shadows of Brimstone! Part of a brutish warrior race of reptilian soldiers, the Trun tower over humans, standing around 10' tall. With rippling muscles and a thick scaled hide, the Trun are the ultimate hunters in the galaxy, using brutal weapons and wearing heavy armor plating. They seek out deadly prey to test their skills, living and fighting in tribes of armored warriors. Sometimes, when a member of a Trun hunting pack becomes disgraced or fails in a critical hunt, they are banished from the tribe, an outcast to their people. These warriors often seek out a glorious death in combat or travel great distances to stalk the deadliest prey alive. But some... some choose to take on a new life. A life of adventure...danger...the life of a Hero! Or maybe just a mercenary. If the pay is high and the chance of glorious death is higher, a Trun Outcast can rarely say no. This new Hero Pack lets players take on the role of a Trun Outcast; an alien brute from another world, able to pick up and throw smaller Enemies around, smash through combat with a meaty fist, and blast his way through the toughest opponents using his alien weapons and martial prowess. He can even learn from his prey, getting better at hunting and fighting them over time, developing new tactics and techniques to bring ruin on his enemies! The Trun are not subtle... but when you play a Trun, you're not really looking for subtle. You're looking for a battle monster that can get the job done, or die gloriously trying in an epic way! —description from the publisher
