Unfortunately, your claws have no effect--you're hitting him, yes.  You can see his body recoil from the force of your blows. You hear him grunting from the impact. He certainly has to back up half a step to keep his balance--he's feeling it.  But he's not getting wounded.<br/><br/>On the other hand, he isn't trying out Douchey McDudeBro lines on you anymore, either, so that's something.  Instead, he just winds up and takes a massive swing at you with a boulder-sized fist. He must not be used to opponents who can read his moves or move faster than he does, because he misses you by a fair margin--you just aren't there to get hit.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Resolution</div><div class="spoiler_body">Bruiser committed a point of Effort to activate 'Lick Your Wounds' to completely recover and gain temporary immunity from physical damage until the start of his next turn, healing back up to 4HD and ignoring this turn's hit. His attack roll, however, is a clean miss--got a 12, needed a 19 or better.</div></div>
