(PFS) Mad Dog Barbarian Unchained Questions


Rules Questions


Firstly I just want to make sure that I did not miss some reason that the Unchained Barbarian can not take the Mad Dog archetype. Secondly, can such a character take the archetype specific rage powers? I am sorry, but I can not create a link right now.


Very interested in this as well.

Quote:
The unchained barbarian qualifies for any archetype that does not modify how the rage class feature operates (such as the urban barbarian archetype), and she is limited to any barbarian rage power that appears in Chapter 1 (including the rage powers on page 13)

This would mean Ferocious Beast and Greater Ferocious Beast would not be available to take as rage powers.

The archetype replaces things that the unchained barbarian gets at the same level as a regular barbarian, so there does not seem to be any issue there.

For your second question, I am not sure that there is such a thing as archetype specific rage powers -- the ones listed with the archetype are simply suggestions. Since Pathfinder Unchained does not reference any Player Companion such as Animal Archive, you and your DM would have to work out whether to use the rage powers in that book as is or adapt them in some way to fit the unchained barbarian better. From a cursory look, it appears that you should be able to use such powers as Ferocious Beast unchanged.

However, you could have an animal that rages as an unchained mad dog if you took a badger as your companion.


Thank you everyone. I suppose that the safest thing is to not take the rage powers from the archetype.

Any rage powers you do take would need to be written up in chapter 1 of the Unchained book.
