Rage

When battle calls, you unleash your anger to fuel your abilities. When you take damage or hit an opponent in combat, you may generate rage. You gain two points of rage when you make a critical hit. You lose a point of rage if you do not attack or take damage in a round of combat. For each point of rage, you add one to the following:

• Additional damage per melee or thrown weapon attack

• To your Armor

• To your Strength combat skills

• To your Body defense rolls

While enraged, you can use Strength for attack rolls as well as damage rolls with any melee weapons. If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

You can have a maximum number of rage equal to 1 + your Endurance.

Primal Defense

As long as you are not wearing armor, you may add your Endurance to your Armor. This applies even when your normal armor might not.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make an attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength until your next turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Indomitable Rage

You can spend your rage to ignore damage. As a reaction to an attack, you can spend 2 Action Points and 1 Rage to gain resistance to that attack. The damage type cannot be physic damage.

Talent

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you gain a Talent.

Efficient Attacks

At level 5, you become more adept with attacks. You reduce the cost of weapon attacks by 1 Action Point per attack

Fast Movement

Starting at 5th level, your movement increases by 2 while you aren’t wearing heavy armor.

Feral Instincts

At 7th level, you have advantage when rolling for Action Points and your movement while in a rage costs 1 less Action Point.

Rampage

Starting at 9th level, you can spend 2 rage to add one additional weapon damage dice to your attack.

Relentless Rage

Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points and don’t die outright, you can spend 3 rage to make a target 10 Endurance roll. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the target number increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the target number resets to 10.

Improved Rampage

Starting at 13th level, you can spend 2 rage to add two additional weapon damage dice to your attack.

Persistent Rage

Starting at 15th level, your rage no longer degrades over time.

Relentless Rampage

At 17th level, your rampage never ends. You always add one additional dice of damage to your attacks, and you can spend 1 rage to add one more weapon damage dice to your attack. You may still spend 2 rage to add two additional weapon damage dice to your attack.

Primal Might

At 20th level, you embody the strength of rage. Your Strength and Endurance increase by 2. Your maximum for those attributes is now 7. Your maximum rage is now 2 times your Endurance and you generate 1 extra rage whenever your gain rage.
