Type of Feat: Class
Prerequisite: Barbarian
Specifics: The barbarian may rage, gaining a +4 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution and +2 to all Will saving throws, in exchange for a -2 penalty to AC. The Barbarian may use this ability 1x/day at 1st level, +1/day at 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, extending into epic levels.
Use: Selected. At 15th level, the rage ability becomes Greater Rage, giving the Barbarian +6 to Strength and Constitution and +3 to Will saves (the -2 penalty to AC still applies).
Notes
- The duration is the Constitution modifier + 3 rounds. The modifier includes the Rage bonus. For example, a Barbarian with a Con 14 would get +4 to Con 18, which is an ability modifier of 4, so the Rage would last 7 rounds.
- Ability bonuses are capped at +12, so if you already gain bonuses from items, spells and potions, you may not gain the full +4 resp. +6 bonuses from Rage/Greater Rage.
