Hey all,
I can't really find much on this, but I have a question concerning the Titanic Rage feature of the Titan Mauler Barbarian Archetype.
Titanic Rage (Su): At 14th level, a titan mauler may choose to gain the benefits of enlarge person when she enters a rage. While using titanic rage, she must spend 2 rounds of rage per round, and she becomes exhausted rather than fatigued when the rage ends. This ability replaces indomitable will.
1. Does this make me grow one size category, or do I stay the same size, but gain the benefits of Enlarge Person?
2. As it says you gain the benefits of Enlarge Person, would I only grab the +2 Strength, seeing as that's the only benefit outside of the size increase?
In short: I'm happy to go straight Barbarian, but really don't want my guy to physically grow through any kind of magic or class ability, so if he gains the strength increase, I'm happy, but I have no desire for him to grow in size. Jumping up a size category and remaining the same size would make little sense to him gaining an extra 5ft reach (as per the physical size increase).
The way I'm seeing the Archetype is that you can gain the benefits of Enlarge Person due to training and fighting all of your adventuring career against titanic foes, but you don't actually physically grow in size. So I'm just kind of trying to work out how it would work.
If I have to grow in size, I'm only going to have 12/13 levels Barbarian and go 4/5 levels Fighter instead. I'm making my own version of Guts from Berserk.
Thanks in advance. :)
You gain the benefits of enlarge person. That wording indicates you gain the spell effect, which includes both the benefits (larger size, STR bonus) and the penalties (-1 attack, DEX penalty). However, note that is a "may"; it is your choice to use it or rage normally.
Thank you. :)
