APG Rage powers


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


What kind of Rage Powers do you think will be in the Advanced Players Guide?

What do you think if any modifications they might make to existing Rage Powers?


Cubicle of fury! Gain a bonus to attacks with office stationery while raging.


Aren't they improvised weapons?


It's a specific subset of improvised weapons. Like bows are a subset of ranged weapons.

Beware a barbarian with a stapler and pencils.

Scarab Sages

AWESOME! That means I can finally make my Milton Waddams themed barbarian!

*mumbles* " I believe you have my stappler...."


Rajun' Cook(Ex):
You can add your level to craft (cooking) to prepare spicy food for your ungrateful party while raging. Your rage lasts as long as it takes for the party to finish the dishes. This can be activated without using up any of your per day rounds if your fighter or cleric has been particularly difficult. (Wizards, sorcerors and rogues are too squishy and should be dealt with using the next rage power)
Why You, Little!(Ex):
As a free action, you can grapple your rogue, sorceror, or wizard party mate and choke them until you feel better. This attack does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Bards aren't important enough to hurt, monks and paladin behave themselves, and rangers and druids really GET you.


as much as i like some comedy but i would like some real ideas to talk about. but honestly there is nothing i could do to stop you guys, these are funny though.


I'd love to see some variant on the Rage ability itself. Maybe something like:

WHIRLING FRENZY:

RAGE VARIANT: WHIRLING FRENZY
A barbarian with this variant form of rage doesn’t gain the normal
bonuses when he enters a rage. Instead, when a barbarian with whirling frenzy enters a rage, he temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength and a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves. While in a whirling frenzy, the barbarian may make one extra attack in a round at his
highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity the barbarian might make before his next action.
Whirling frenzy is otherwise identical to the standard barbarian rage in all other ways. At 11th level (when a standard barbarian gains greater rage), the Strength bonus increases to +6, and the dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves increases to +3. At 20th level (when a standard barbarian gains mighty rage), the Strength bonus increases to +8, and the dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Refl ex saves increases to +4.
A barbarian using this variant doesn’t gain indomitable will at 14th level. Instead, he gains evasion, but only while in a whirling frenzy.
A character can’t use whirling frenzy at the same time that he uses any other form of rage (or similar ability).


that's a good one, i would also like to submit a variant of rage that allows a barbarian to gain animal shifts, almost like a dumbed down lycanthropsy


Yeh, maybe like the Eberron Shifter...but without the copyright issues lol


Nature's Fury- Choose a 0-level Druid spell. A Barbarian may use one round of his Rage to cast this spell.

Nature's Vengeance - Choose a 1-level Druid spell. A Barbarian may use one round of his Rage to cast this spell. You must have the Nature's Fury Rage power to choose this rage power.

Shillelagh!!!


nice! i like this idea.

Wow, that's essentially the core mechanic that I'm basing a kenseiesque base class around, only I call it focus. +4 to strength, +4 to wisdom, and they get to add their wisdom modifier to AC

Could they choose each power more than once?

do you have a write up of the class on the boards? i wouldn't mind seeing it.

Maybe have it build off of animal fury? You gain a bite damage of 1d6 instead of 1d4?

heh. A Barbarian with these 'talents' and Imp. and Gtr Sunder TWFing with a Maul of the Titans in each hand and Sundering with each attack with each attack. With Power Attack.

I already broke it.

I do not, unfortunately. I have been posting from a Blackberry pearl for sometime now. I could post it, but the focus powers aren't complete, and it's been through minimal playtesting.[/threadjack]

Maybe Primal Snarl?
You can make an intimidate check against all enemies within 30ft once per rage?

Liberty's Edge

It has already been hinted that we will see some racial-based rage powers, like dwarven battlerage. I'm pretty excited to see what racial rage powers would be introduced for elves. Maybe something like Cold Fury allowing a barbarian to make ranged attacks while raging, applying STR bonus to damage even without a composite bow.
