From what I understand, according to PFS rules an id rager Bloodrager only gains the abilities/powers granted by an emotional focus the way a phantom does, and not the basic abilities that come from just being a phantom like ability score increases and whatnot. I presume this means that the id rager this does not receive a phantom's slam attacks. So what happens when an ability granted by an emotional focus improves or alters a slam attack, like Zeal's Ruthless Combatant ability? Does the ability instead apply to unarmed strikes? Weapon attacks?


If the Id Rager gains a slam attack through other means, the bonuses gained through his Atavistic Rage apply to them.

However, if he lacks a slam attack, he can't use the abilities that trigger off of it.


You don't get slam attacks. If you did, the Id Rager would be a great archetype.

Silver Crusade

It still is a great Archetype, it's just that only a couple of the Foci are worth taking.


And one of the greatest foci worth taking... isn't listed as one of the emotional foci you can take. Which just makes things more complicated.

Silver Crusade

I would really like for them to clarify about the foci that came out AFTER the Archetype came out >_<

Just use a breaststrike club. It counts as whatever type of natural attack it takes the form of for feats and spells.

Exactly, I mean, people have been complaining there is no good breast-centric builds available, and now you have it: Ghost Boob Rager!

Oh autocorrect strikes again. Beaststrike club.

Too be fair that is a good place to hit someone.
