</div>

Rage consumes you in battle. You delight in wreaking havoc and using powerful weapons to carve through your enemies, relying on astonishing durability without needing complicated techniques or rigid training. Your rages draw upon a vicious instinct, which you might associate with an animal, a spirit, or some part of yourself. To many barbarians, brute force is a hammer and every problem looks like a nail, whereas others try to hold back the storm of emotions inside them and release their rage only when it matters most.

## Roleplaying a Barbarian

### During Combat Encounters...
You summon your rage and rush to the front lines to smash your way through. Offense is your best defense—you'll need to drop foes before they can exploit your relatively low defenses.

### During Social Encounters...
You use intimidation to get what you need, especially when gentler persuasion can't get the job done.

### While Exploring...
You look out for danger, ready to charge headfirst into battle in an instant. You climb the challenging rock wall and drop a rope for others to follow, and you wade into the risky currents to reach the hidden switch beneath the water's surface. If something needs breaking, you're up to the task!

### You Might...
* Have a deep-seated well of anger, hatred, or frustration.
* Prefer a straightforward approach to one requiring patience and tedium.
* Engage in a regimen of intense physical fitness.

### Others Probably...
* Rely on your courage and your strength, and trust that you can hold your own in a fight.
* See you as uncivilized or a boorish lout unfit for high society.
* Believe that you are loyal to your friends and allies and will never relent until the fight is done.

### Barbarian Class Features
As a Barbarian, you gain the following class features. These features are listed in the Barbarian Class Features table.

#### Level 1: Ancestry and Background
In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.

#### Level 1: Attribute Boosts
In addition to what you get from your class at 1st level, you have four free boosts to different attribute modifiers.
    
At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you get four free boosts to different attribute modifiers. If an attribute modifier is already +4 or higher, it takes two boosts to increase it; you get a partial boost and must boost that attribute again at a later level to increase it by 1.

#### Level 1: Initial Proficiencies
At 1st level you gain a number of proficiencies that represent your basic training, noted at the start of this class.

#### Level 1: Rage
You tap into your inner fury and begin raging.

##### Rage
**Traits:** Barbarian, Concentrate, Emotion, Mental
 
As 1 action when you aren't fatigued or raging, you tap into your inner fury and begin raging. This has the barbarian, concentrate, emotion, and mental trait. You gain a number of temporary Hit Points equal to your level plus your Constitution modifier. While you are raging:

* You deal 2 additional damage on melee Strikes. This additional damage is halved if your weapon or unarmed attack is agile.
* You can't use actions with the concentrate trait unless they also have the rage trait. You can Seek while raging.

Rage lasts for 1 minute, until you fall unconscious, or until the encounter ends, whichever comes first. You can't voluntarily stop raging. When you stop raging, you lose any remaining temporary Hit Points from Rage, and can't gain temporary Hit Points from using the Rage action again for 1 minute.

#### Level 1: Quick-Tempered
So long as you are able to move freely, your fury is instinctive and instantaneous. As a free action, when you roll initiative and you are not encumbered or wearing heavy armor, you Rage.

#### Level 1: Instinct
Your rage wells up from a dominant instinct—one you learned from a tradition or that comes naturally to you. Your instinct gives you an ability, requires you to avoid certain behaviors, grants you increased damage and resistances at higher levels, and allows you to select feats tied to your instinct. You can find Instincts on page XX.

#### Level 1: Barbarian Feats
At 1st level and every even-numbered level thereafter, you gain a barbarian class feat.

#### Level 2: Skill Feats
At 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill feat. Skill feats have the skill trait. You must be trained or better in the corresponding skill to select a skill feat.

#### Level 3: Furious Footfalls
The urge to fight drives you ever forward. You gain a +5-foot status bonus to your Speed. This bonus increases to +10 feet while you’re raging.

#### Level 3: General Feats
At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you gain a general feat.

\pagebreak

#### Level 3: Skill Increases
At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill increase. You can use this increase either to increase your proficiency rank to trained in one skill you're untrained in, or to increase your proficiency rank in one skill in which you're already trained to expert. At 7th level, you can use skill increases to increase your proficiency rank to master in a skill in which you're already an expert, and at 15th level, you can use them to increase your proficiency rank to legendary in a skill in which you're already a master.

#### Level 5: Ancestry Feats
In addition to the ancestry feat you started with, you gain an ancestry feat at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter.

#### Level 5: Brutality
Your fury makes your weapons lethal. Your proficiency ranks for simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks increase to expert. While raging, you have the critical specialization benefits for melee weapons and unarmed attacks.

#### Level 7: Juggernaut
Your body is accustomed to physical hardship and resistant to ailments. Your proficiency rank for Fortitude saves increases to master. When you roll a success on a Fortitude save, you get a critical success instead.

#### Level 7: Weapon Specialization
Your rage helps you hit harder. You deal an additional 2 damage with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you have expert proficiency. This damage increases to 3 if you’re a master, and 4 if you’re legendary. You gain your instinct’s specialization ability.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
Repeated exposure and toughened skin allow you to fend off harm. While raging, you gain resistance equal to 3 + your Constitution modifier to damage types based on your instinct.

#### Level 9: Reflex Expertise
You’ve developed a knack for dodging danger. Your proficiency rank for Reflex saves increases to expert.

#### Level 11: Mighty Rage
Your rage intensifies and lets you hit harder at the start of a fight. Your proficiency rank for your barbarian class DC increases to expert. In addition, when you use Quick-Tempered, the first Strike you make during your first turn deals additional damage equal to your Rage damage.

#### Level 13: Greater Juggernaut
You have a stalwart physiology. Your proficiency rank for Fortitude saves increases to legendary. When you roll a critical failure on a Fortitude save, you get a failure instead. When you roll a failure on a Fortitude save against an effect that deals damage, you halve the damage you take.

#### Level 13: Medium Armor Expertise
You’ve learned to defend yourself better against attacks. Your proficiency ranks for light armor, medium armor, and unarmored defense increase to expert.

#### Level 15: Indomitable Will
Your rage makes it difficult to control you. Your proficiency rank for Will saves increases to master. When you roll a success on a Will save, you get a critical success instead.

#### Level 17: Perception Mastery
Your instinct heightens each of your senses further. Your proficiency rank for Perception increases to master.

#### Level 17: Revitalizing Rage
Your rage sustains you more frequently, leaving you ready to jump into battle anew. Instead of needing to wait 1 minute before you can gain temporary Hit Points from Rage again, you need only to spend at least one full turn not in a Rage.

#### Level 19: Armor Mastery
Your training and rage deepen your connection to your armor. Your proficiency ranks for light armor, medium armor, and unarmored defense increase to master.

#### Level 19: Devastator
Your Strikes are so devastating that you hardly care about resistance, and your barbarian abilities are unparalleled. Your proficiency rank for your barbarian class DC increases to master. Your melee Strikes ignore up to 10 resistance to the physical damage they deal.

> ##### Key Terms
> You'll see the following key terms in many barbarian class features.
>
> **Flourish:** Actions with the flourish trait are special techniques that require too much exertion for you to perform frequently. You can use only one action with the flourish trait per round.
>
> **Rage:** You must be raging to use abilities with the rage trait, and they end automatically when you stop raging.

\pagebreak

## Instincts
You channel your rage through an instinct. You decide what your instinct means to you. It could be a creature or symbol beloved by your clan, or a purely internal source or filter of your rage, such as a belief, curse, heritage, or state of mind. Each instinct includes the following. Your choice of instinct also serves as a prerequisite for many feats.

### Animal Instinct
The fury of a wild predator fills you when you Rage, granting you ferocious unarmed attacks. Cultures that revere vicious animals (such as apes or bears) give rise to barbarians with this instinct. You might also be at war with an uncontrollable, animalistic side of your personality, or you might be a descendant of a werewolf or another werecreature. Select an animal from the Animal Instincts table that best matches your chosen animal.

| Animal | Attack | Damage | Traits
|:---:|:-----------:| :----: | :----|
| Ape | Fist | 1d10 B | Grapple, unarmed
| Bear | Jaws Claw | 1d10 P 1d6 S | Unarmed Agile, unarmed
| Bull | Horn | 1d10 P | Shove, unarmed
| Cat | Jaws Claw | 1d10 P 1d6 S | Unarmed Agile, unarmed
| Deer | Antler | 1d10 P | Grapple, unarmed
| Frog | Jaws Tongue | 1d10 B 1d4 B | Unarmed Agile, unarmed
| Shark | Jaws | 1d10 P | Grapple, unarmed
| Snake | Fangs | 1d10 P | Grapple, unarmed
| Wolf | Jaws | 1d10 P | Trip, unarmed

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Beastial Rage
While raging, you gain your chosen animal’s unarmed attack (or attacks), but you’re unable to use weapons. The specific attack gained, the damage it deals, and its traits are listed in the Animal Instincts table. These attacks are in the brawling group. Your Rage action gains the morph and primal traits.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
Increase the damage die size for the unarmed attacks granted by your chosen animal by one step, and increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 5 for your chosen animal’s unarmed attacks. If you have greater weapon specialization, increase the damage from Rage from 5 to 12 for your chosen animal’s unarmed attacks.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
You resist piercing and slashing damage.

### Dragon Instinct
You summon the fury of a mighty dragon and manifest incredible abilities. Perhaps your culture reveres draconic majesty, or you gained insights by drinking or bathing in dragon’s blood or watching a marauding wyrm burn your village. Select a type of dragon from the Dragon Instincts table as your instinct’s dragon type. These are the dragons from Monster Core, but your GM might allow you to choose dragons from other sources and determine their tradition and dragon breath type.

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Draconic Rage
While raging, you can increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4 and change its damage type to match that of your instinct’s dragon breath instead of the damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack. If you do this, your Rage action gains the trait matching your dragon instinct’s tradition, as well as the trait matching the damage type where applicable.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
When you use draconic rage, you increase the additional damage from Rage from 4 to 8. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage when using draconic rage from 8 to 16.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
You resist piercing damage and the damage type of your instinct’s dragon breath.

### Fury Instinct
Your rage comes from a deep and purely personal well within you. You use your rage as you choose.

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Unstoppable Frenzy
Increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 3. You gain a bonus 1st-level barbarian feat.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
Increase the additional damage from Rage from 3 to 7. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the additional damage from Rage to 13.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
You resist physical weapon damage, but not physical damage from other sources (such as unarmed attacks).

\pagebreak

### Giant Instinct
Your rage gives you the raw power and size of a giant. This doesn’t necessarily mean you revere giants—you might scoff at them or even aspire to slay them! You could instead seem like a giant to other people due to your exceptional strength or larger-than-life emotions and ego.

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Titain Mauler
You can use a weapon built for a Large creature if you are Small or Medium (both normally and when raging). If you’re not Small or Medium, you can use a weapon built for a creature one size larger than you. You start with one such weapon, which you receive for free. It must be a common melee or ranged weapon, it must have a Price of 9 gp or less (not including the Price adjustment for being a larger weapon), and it must be common or you must otherwise have access to it. It is your personal weapon and has no value if sold unless you later add runes to it, and it has the normal Bulk for a weapon of its size.

When wielding a larger weapon in combat, increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6, but you have the clumsy 1 condition because of the weapon’s unwieldy size. You can’t remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
Increase the damage from Rage when using a larger weapon from 6 to 10; if you have greater weapon specialization, increase it from 10 to 18.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
You resist bludgeoning damage and your choice of cold, electricity, or fire, chosen when you gain raging resistance.

### Spirit Instinct
Whether you are emotionally sensitive to the spirits around you; worship ancestors or apparitions; or are haunted by the specter of an ancestor, relative, friend, or foe, your rage takes the form of a spiritual possession.

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Spirit Rage
While raging, you can increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 3 and change its damage type to spirit, instead of the damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack (choose each time you Rage). If you choose to deal spirit damage, your weapon or unarmed attack gains the effects of the ghost touch property rune, which makes it more effective against incorporeal creatures, and your Rage action gains the divine and spirit traits.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
When using spirit rage, increase the damage from Rage from 3 to 7. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage when using spirit rage to 13.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
You resist void damage, as well as damage dealt by the attacks and abilities of undead creatures, regardless of the damage type.

### Superstition Instinct
A deep distrust of magic drives you to forgo and counter the metaphysical nonsense of spellcasters. Whether you’re a member of a superstitious family or culture that distrusts magic, a warrior in constant battle against wizards and witches, a survivor of a magical accident that instilled an intense aversion in your mind and body, or a scion of a bloodline known for its magic resistance, your rage is inimical to magic. This makes you an excellent mage hunter but slow to trust practitioners of magical arts.

#### Level 1: Instinct Ability—Superstitious Resilience
Your deep superstition means it’s anathema for you to learn or Cast a Spell, or to wield or use an item that can be activated to Cast a Spell. If you violate this anathema, you lose the instinct’s abilities and any feats that list the instinct as a prerequisite until you spend 1 day of downtime re-centering yourself, though you keep all your other barbarian abilities.

While raging, you gain a +2 status bonus to all saves against magic. Increase your damage from Rage from 2 to 3, or 4 against creatures you have witnessed Casting a Spell within the last hour. When you Rage, you regain Hit Point equal to the temporary HP you gained from the Rage action; you then can’t regain HP in this way again for 10 minutes. While raging, if you willingly accept the effects of a magic spell or effect, you are frightened 1. You cannot reduce your frightened condition below 1 as long as you are affected by the spell or effect.

#### Level 7: Specialization Ability
Increase the damage from Rage from 3 to 7, or 8 against creatures you have witnessed Casting a Spell within the last hour. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage to 13, or 16 against creatures you have witnessed Casting a Spell within the last hour.

#### Level 9: Raging Resistance
Choose two associated magical traditions: arcane and occult, arcane and primal, divine and occult, or divine and primal. The resistance from your raging resistance class feature applies against all damage you take from spells cast with these two traditions of magic, regardless of the type of damage dealt by the spell.

#### Raging Intimidation
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
Your fury fills your foes with fear. While you are raging, your Demoralize and Scare to Death actions (from the Intimidation skill and an Intimidation skill feat, respectively) gain the rage trait, allowing you to use them while raging. As soon as you meet the prerequisites for the skill feats Intimidating Glare and Scare to Death, you gain these feats.

#### Raging Thrower
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
Thrown weapons become especially deadly in your fury. You apply the additional damage from Rage to your thrown weapon attacks. If you have the Brutal Critical feat or the devastator class feature, apply their benefits to thrown weapon attacks.

#### Sudden Charge
*Traits: Barbarian, Flourish*
 
With a quick sprint, you dash up to your foe and swing. As 2 actions, Stride twice. If you end your movement within melee reach of at least one enemy, you can make a melee Strike against that enemy. You can use Sudden Charge while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type.

### 2nd Level

*Prerequisite: trained in Athletics*
 
You smash, bust, and charge through solid obstacles without hesitation. As 2 actions, Stride twice. Once during your movement, if your movement passes through or ends adjacent to a door, window, fence, wall, or similar obstacle, you can attempt an Athletics check to Force Open the obstacle with a +1 circumstance bonus to the roll; on a failure, your movement ends at that obstacle.

#### Furious Finish
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
Desperate to finish the fight, you pour all your rage into one final blow. As 1 action, Make a Strike.

After this Strike, your Rage immediately ends, and you are fatigued until you rest for at least 10 minutes.

#### Intimidating Strike
*Traits: Barbarian, Emotion, Fear, Mental*
 
Your blow not only wounds creatures but also shatters their confidence. As 2 actions, make a melee Strike. If you hit and deal damage, the target is frightened 1, or frightened 2 on a critical hit.

#### No Escape
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
You keep pace with a retreating foe. When an enemy within reach attempts to move away from you, as a reaction, Stride up to your Speed, following the enemy and keeping it in reach throughout its movement until it stops moving or you've moved your full Speed. You can use No Escape to Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim instead of Stride if you have the corresponding movement type.

#### Second Wind
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
You can enter a second rage, but afterward you need to catch your breath. When you Rage, you can choose to gain temporary HP from the Rage even if 1 minute hasn't passed (or a full turn if you have the revitalizing rage class feature). If you do, once this Rage ends you become fatigued until you rest for 10 minutes.

#### Shake It Off
*Traits: Barbarian, Concentrate, Rage*
You can concentrate on your rage, overcoming fear and fighting back sickness. As 1 action, reduce your frightened condition value by 1, and attempt a Fortitude save to recover from the sickened condition as if you had spent an action retching; you reduce your sickened condition value by 1 on a failure (but not a critical failure), by 2 on a success, or by 3 on a success.

\pagebreak

### 4th Level

#### Barreling Charge
*Traits: Barbarian, Flourish*
 
*Prerequisite: trained in Athletics*
 
You rush forward, moving enemies aside to reach your foe. As 2 actions, you Stride, attempting to move through your enemies’ spaces. Roll an Athletics check and compare the result to the Fortitude DC of each creature whose space you attempt to move through during your Stride, moving through its space on a success but ending your movement before entering its space on a failure. You can then Strike, regardless of how your Stride ended. You can use Barreling Charge to Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim instead of Stride if you have the corresponding movement type.

#### Oversized Throw
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
*Requirements: You have one or more hands free*
 
With a great heave, you seize a piece of your surroundings, such as a boulder, log, table, wagon, or chunk of earth, and hurl it at your foes. The object must be your size or one size smaller than you, and it must not have too much Bulk for you to lift it in the first place. As 2 actions, make a ranged Strike with the object; regardless of the result, the object takes the same amount of damage it would deal on a success. The object is a simple ranged weapon that deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage, has a range increment of 20 feet, and has the thrown weapon trait. The damage increases to 2d10 if you have weapon specialization in simple weapons, or 3d10 if you have greater weapon specialization.

#### Raging Athlete
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
*Prerequisite: expert in Atheltics*
 
Physical obstacles can't hold back your fury. While you are raging, you gain a climb Speed and swim Speed equal to your land Speed, and the DC of High Jumps and Long Jumps decreases by 10, and you increase your distance on a successful Long Jump by 10 feet. Your distance for a vertical Leap increases to 5 feet vertically, and your distance for a horizontal Leap increases to 15 feet if your Speed is at least 15 feet, and to 20 feet if your Speed is at least 30 feet.

#### Scars of Steel
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: fury instinct*
 
*Frequnecy: once per day*
 
When you are struck with the mightiest of blows, you can flex your muscles to turn aside some of the damage. As a reaction, when an opponent critically hits you with an attack that deals physical damage, you gain resistance to the triggering attack equal to your Consittution modifier plus half your level.

#### Spiritual Guides
*Traits: Barbarian, Fortune*
 
*Prerequisites: spirit instinct*
 
Though no one sees them and only you can hear them, the spirits around you constantly chatter, save when you are raging. Sometimes they're even helpful, and their guidance can even cut through the haze of your rage. When you fail, but don't critially fail, a Perception check or a skill check, as a reaction, you reroll the triggering check, using the second result even if it's worse.

#### Supernatural Senses
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: Acute Scent or scent*
 
Your scent is preternaturally sharp, and you can always rely on your sense of smell to help guide you when your vision is compromised. When you target a concealed or hidden opponent while you are raging, you reduce the DC of the flat check to 3 for a concealed target or to 9 for a hidden one.

#### Swipe
*Traits: Barbarian, Flourish*
You make a wide, arcing swing. As 2 actions, make a melee Strike and compare the attack roll result to the AC of up to two foes, each of whom must be within your melee reach and adjacent to each other. Roll damage only once and apply it to each creature you hit. A Swipe counts as two attacks for your multiple attack penalty.

If you’re using a weapon with the sweep trait, its modifier applies to all your Swipe attacks.

#### Wounded Rage
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
You roar in pain, awakening the rage within you. As a reaction, when you take damage and ar capable of entering a rage, you Rage.

### 6th Level

#### Animal Skin
*Traits: Barbarian, Morph, Primal*
 
*Prerequisite: animal instinct*
 
Your proficiency in unarmored defense increases to expert. When you are raging and unarmored, your skin transforms into a thick hide. You gain a +2 item bonus to AC (+3 if you have the greater juggernaut class feature). The thickness of your hide gives you a Dexterity modifier cap to your AC of +3. This item bonus to AC is cumulative with armor potency runes on your explorer's clothing, mystic armor, and bands of force.

#### Brutal Bully
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
*Prerequisite: expert in Athletics*
 
You push your foes around and leave bruises. While raging, when you successfully Disarm, Grapple, Reposition, Shove, or Trip an enemy, you deal that enemy bludgeoning damage equal to your Strength modifier; add this to the damage from a critical success to Trip.

\pagebreak

#### Cleave
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
You swing clear through one foe into another. As a reaction, when your melee Strike reduces an enemy to 0 Hit Points, and another enemy is adjacent to that creature, make a melee Strike against the second enemy.

#### Dragon's Rage Breath
*Traits: Barbarian, Concentrate, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: dragon instinct*
 
*Frequency: once per 10 minutes*
 
As 2 actions, you breathe deeply and exhale powerful energy in a 30-foot cone, dealing 1d6 damage per level to each creature in the area with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. The damage type matches your instinct's dragon breath, and this action gains the trait of your dragon instinct's tradition.

#### Giant's Stature
*Traits: Barbarian, Polymorph, Primal, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: giant instinct*
 
*Requirement: You are Medium or smaller.*
 
You grow to incredible size. As 1 action, you become Large, increasing your reach by 5 feet and gaining the clumsy 1 condition until you stop raging. Your equipment grows with you.

#### Inner Strength
*Traits: Barbarian, Concentrate, Rage*

#### Mage Hunter
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: superstition instinct*
 
*Requirement: You've seen the target Cast a Spell*
 
You use your hatred of magic to lash out at a known spellcaster. As 2 actions, make a melee Strike against the required creature. If you hit and deal damage, the target is stupefied 1, or stupefied 2 on a critical hit, until the beginning of your next turn.

#### Nocturnal Senses
*Traits: Barbarian, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: low-light vision or scent*
 
Your senses gain even greater clarity. While raging, if you have low-light vision you gain darkvision, and if you have scent the range of your imprecise scent increases to 60 feet.

#### Reactive Strike
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
You lash out at a foe that leaves an opening. As a reaction, when a creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a squaring during a move action it's using, make a melee Strike against the creature. If your attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, you disrupt that action. This Strike doesn't count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

#### Scouring Rage
*Traits: Barbarian*
 
*Prerequisite: an instinct that allows you to change your additional damage from Rage to a different damage type.*
 
You emit a powerful surge of instinctual energy when you unleash our anger. As a free action, when you enter your Rage, each enemy within 20 feet takes damage equal to your level (basic Fortitude save against your class DC) of the same type as your additional damage during that Rage.

#### Spirits' Interference
*Traits: Barbarian, Divine, Rage*
 
*Prerequisite: spirit instinct*

### 8th Level

#### Animalistic Brutality
*Traits: Barbarian, Concentrate, Morph, Primal, Rage*
 
*Prerequisites: animal instinct*
 
You deepen the connection into your animal instincts. As 1 action, your unarmed attack from bestial rage gains one of the following traits until you stop raging: backswing, forceful, parry, razing, or sweep. You can't use this ability again until the next time you Rage. You can choose a different trait each time you use Animalistic Brutality.

#### Disarming Assault
