Raging Blood (the feat) question

[Xunal]

Hi All!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with an interpretation of the Raging Blood feat I found in ACG feats list.

It's written as follows:

Raging Blood
Your blood boils with latent energy, filling you with an intense fury.

Prerequisite: Eldritch Heritage or sorcerer bloodline class feature.

Benefit: You gain the 1st-level bloodrager bloodline power for your bloodline. In addition, you gain the ability to enter a state similar to (but less powerful than) a bloodrager's bloodrage. You can enter this lesser bloodrage twice per day, for up to 4 rounds. During this lesser bloodrage, you gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, and no morale bonus on Will saving throws. Otherwise, this benefit is the same as the bloodrage class feature.
If you have more than one bloodline, you choose the bloodline this applies to upon taking the feat.

The part I'm wondering about, of course, is the highlighted bit about twice per day for up to four rounds. That's the only part I'm not quite sure of. Should that be for up to four rounds each lesser bloodrage, or should it be a maximum of four lesser bloodrage rounds for the day, whether you take one or two lesser bloodrages? I'm guessing the RAI is a maximum of four rounds for the day, but I just want to be certain.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can clarify that for me!

As a martial option, you should choose the worst interpretation between the two (max 4 rounds/day)

That's kind of what I was thinking.

Thanks!

Don't take my sarcasm too seriously.

Anyway the 4/day is the most probable interpretation as the Bloodrager start with 4+Con rounds per day at level 1

I was kind of thinking that way, mostly because it would be a feat that would be kind of strong for a spell caster otherwise.

Actually even for 8 rounds per day total it isn't that strong, a caster doesn't really need those physical buffs and would actively avoid rounds of Rage as he can't cast spells in those. It's borderline decent for melee characters, but they would go Bloodrager or Barbarian to begin with.

@ Entryhazard:

Thanks for the input.

I picked that feat for a fire elemental sorcerer in a Rapen Athuk PbP campaign, since it's a melee-intensive campaign. I'll probably focus on metamagic feats from here on.

My character's a half-orc with above average strength with the fire elemental bloodline. He certainly can't take a lot of damage. But he can dish out a lot more than sorcerers normally can in melee in a pinch. Proficiency with Falchions and Great Axes helps there!

Always a bit of a trick with all these feats. There's just so many of them out there! And so feat slots.

Oh well. Nice to have options, if nothing else.
