Barbarian Rage: A barbarian can fly into a rage a certain number of times per day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily
gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will saves, but he takes a ‐2 penalty
to Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases the barbarian’s hit points by 2 points per level, but these hit points
go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. (These extra hit points are not lost
first the way temporary hit points are.) While raging, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma‐, Dexterity‐, or Intelligence‐
based skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require
patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger
(such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function. He can use any feat he has except Combat Expertise,
item creation feats, and metamagic feats. A fit of rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the character’s (newly
improved) Constitution modifier. A barbarian may prematurely end his rage. At the end of the rage, the barbarian loses
the rage modifiers and restrictions and becomes fatigued (‐2 penalty to Strength, ‐2 penalty to Dexterity, can’t charge or
run) for the duration of the current encounter (unless he is a 17th‐level barbarian, at which point this limitation no
longer applies).
A barbarian can fly into a rage only once per encounter. At 1st level he can use his rage ability once per day. At 4th level
and every four levels thereafter, he can use it one additional time per day (to a maximum of six times per day at 20th
level). Entering a rage takes no time itself, but a barbarian can do it only during his action, not in response to someone
else’s action.
Feral Vigor: When enraged, when you drop a foe to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your
Constitution modifier. These temporary hit points are removed first, and do not stack with other instances of temporary
hit points. If a second set is gained, use the larger amount.
Rage Points: All Rage powers are fueled by Rage points, a representation of the building inferno within the Barbarian.
Rage points are earned several ways. The first is by actively raging, which builds a mild amount of rage. The other
methods involve external factors that enrage the Barbarian. A Barbarian must use these Rage points or they are lost
when the Rage ends and they may not build more Rage points than (2 + Con modifier) x Barbarian level.
A Barbarian loses their Rage bonuses and exits Rage if all of their Rage points are depleted.
Rage Point Accrual:
You Enter Rage: Rage points equal to your Barbarian level.
You are Struck in combat: Rage points equal to your Con modifier.
You Fumble: Rage points equal to your BAB.
You Kill a Foe: Rage points equal to your foe’s HD.
You Critical Hit: Rage points equal to your Con modifier.
You Suffer a Critical Hit: Rage points equal to your Con modifier x2.
Ally Dropped Unconscious or killed: Rage points equal to your Con Score.
Rage Powers: As a barbarian gains experience, they learn to harness their rage in new ways. At each listed level, you
gain a Rage power. You may not choose a Rage power that costs more than your maximum Rage points. A barbarian
can use their rage powers only while raging, with each power consuming a set number of rage points. A barbarian
cannot select an individual power more than once. Unless otherwise noted, these abilities are swift actions that must be
performed on the barbarian’s turn.
Animal Fury (Ex): The barbarian may make a bite attack using her full base attack bonus plus her Strength modifier.
If the bite hits, it deals 1d6 points of damage (assuming the barbarian is Medium; 1d4 points of damage if Small)
plus the barbarian’s Strength modifier. A barbarian can use this power while grappled. If the bite attack hits, any
grapple checks made against the target this round are at a +2 bonus. (2 rage points)
Bash (Ex): You knock your opponent senseless, and fling them to the ground. You make a normal melee attack against
the foe, if it hits, the opponent is also knocked prone unless they are more than 1 size category larger than you (10 rage
points).
Blood Fury (Ex): If you are bloodied, you may add your Con modifier to all damage rolls for one round. (8 rage points)
Break the Shackles (Su): A barbarian may reroll a failed Will save. This power is used as an immediate action after the
save is failed. The barbarian must take the second result, even if it is worse. A barbarian must be at least 8th level before
selecting this power. (6 rage points)
Increased Damage Reduction (Ex): The barbarian gains damage reduction 1/— per 4 rage points spent for 1 round.
This damage reduction stacks with that granted by the barbarian class feature. The barbarian cannot increase
her damage reduction by more than 3/— with this power. A barbarian must be at least 12th level before selecting this
ability. (4, 8, or 12 rage points)
Elemental Rage (Su): All of the barbarian’s attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of energy damage for 1 round. The
energy type must be acid, cold, electricity, or fire. This energy damage does not stack with energy damage dealt by
special weapon abilities if it is of the same type. A barbarian must be at least 12th level before selecting this
power. (8 rage points)
Great Leap (Ex): You may make a Jump check as if you were running and gain a +5 competence bonus on the roll. (1 rage
point)

barbarian successfully demoralizes her opponent, the foe is shaken for 2d6 rounds. (4 rage points)
Into the Fray (Ex): When raging, you do not incur attacks of opportunity for moving while charging. (No cost)

8th level before selecting this power. (20 rage points)

to Armor Class and the restriction on what actions can be performed. (4 rage points)
Night Sight (Ex): The barbarian’s senses grow incredibly sharp while raging and she gains darkvision 60 feet for a
number of rounds equal to their Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). A barbarian must have low‐light vision as a rage
power or a racial trait to select this rage power. (4 rage points)
Powerful Blow (Ex): The barbarian adds her barbarian level on one damage roll. This power is used as a swift action
before the roll to hit is made. (4 rage points)
Primal Vitality (Ex): You may gain the benefit of a Second Wind as a free action. This still counts against your daily
number of surges. (6 rage points)

can be extended by a number of rounds equal to your Con modifier. (2, 4, or 6 rage points – possibly doubled)
Primal Scream (Su): The barbarian unleashes a terrifying howl as a standard action. All enemies within 30 feet must
make a Will save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the barbarian’s level + the barbarian’s Strength modifier) or be panicked for
1d4+1 rounds. Once an enemy has made a save versus terrifying howl (successful or not) it is immune to this power for
24 hours. A barbarian must have the intimidating glare rage power to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at

selecting this power. (8 rage points)

[Class Abilities, Continued]
Uncanny Dodge: [Passive] At 2nd level, a barbarian retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat‐
footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a barbarian
already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
Improved Uncanny Dodge: [Passive] At 5th level and higher, a barbarian can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a
rogue the ability to sneak attack the barbarian by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels
than the target has barbarian levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character
automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to
determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character.
Greater Rage: At 11th level, a barbarian’s bonuses to Strength and Constitution during his rage each increase to +6, and
his morale bonus on Will saves increases to +3. The penalty to AC remains at ‐2.
Indomitable Will: While in a rage, a barbarian of 14th level or higher gains a +4 bonus on Will saves to resist
enchantment spells. This bonus stacks with all other modifiers, including the morale bonus on Will saves he also receives
during his rage.
Tireless Rage: At 17th level and higher, a barbarian no longer becomes fatigued at the end of his rage.
Mighty Rage: At 20th level, a barbarian’s bonuses to Strength and Constitution during his rage each increase to +8, and
his morale bonus on Will saves increases to +4. The penalty to AC remains at ‐2.
