Viking Archetype and Qualifying for Rage Powers


Rules Questions


What level does a Viking PC qualify for the Rage Power "Boasting Taunt"?

Logically it seems like a Viking would need to have 9 levels before qualifying for a 6th level Barbarian Rage Power. But then again, maybe being Character Level 6 qualifies a viking for the same rage powers a Barbarian gets at that level.

Thoughts?

Berserker (Ex)

At 4th level, a viking gains the rage ability as the barbarian class feature, but her barbarian level is considered to be her fighter level –3.

This ability replaces weapon training 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Rage Powers (Ex)

Starting at 6th level, whenever a viking gains a fighter bonus feat, she can instead choose to gain a single rage power, as the barbarian class feature, in place of the bonus feat. Once selected, these rage powers cannot be changed.

Prerequisite: Barbarian 6

Benefit: While raging, the barbarian can incite a creature to attack her by making an Intimidate check to demoralize. If the check succeeds, the target is also shaken as long as the barbarian is visible and raging or until it makes a melee attack against the barbarian. The barbarian receives a +2 circumstance bonus on this check for every alcoholic drink she has consumed during this rage. This is a language-dependent mind-affecting effect, and it relies on audible components.


Level 9. Their effective barbarian level is not yet 6 before level 9, and you do not meet prerequisites until you meet them.

Yeah, it specifically lists the prereq as "Barbarian 6" so you have to be a 9th level Viking to qualify for it.

If it said "Class Level 6" or something to that degree, that was non-specific, then it would be okay.
