1st Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
+1	+2	+0	+0	0

Combat Training

Barbarians may combine combat spheres and talents to create powerful martial techniques. They use Charismaas their practitioner modifier.

Talents

You gain the Berserker Sphere.

In addition you gain a Berserker Sphere talent and either one Equipment Sphere talent or another Berserker talent of your choice.

Default: You pick the Heavy Swing Berserker talent and Crushing Thrower Equipment talent

Berserker

Whenever the barbarian uses his brutal strike ability, he may sacrifice 3 of his daily rounds of rage to add 1 additional (exertion) talent to the attack.

Rage

A barbarian can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting her additional combat prowess. Starting at 1st level, a barbarian can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear’s endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that a barbarian can rage per day. A barbarian can enter rage as a free action. The total number of rounds of rage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive.

While in rage, a barbarian gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the barbarian 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.

A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A barbarian cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death.

Fast Movement

A barbarian’s land speed is faster than the norm for her race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the barbarian’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the barbarian’s land speed.

Feats

The barbarian gains no extra feats on first level.

Default: Pick Extra Rage as your level 1 feat.

2nd Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
+2	+3	+0	+0	+1 (1)

Talents

At 2nd level the Barbarian gains a combat talent.

Default: You pick the Leg-Smasher Berserker talent.

Uncanny Dodge

At 2nd level, a barbarian gains the ability to react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A barbarian with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.

If a barbarian already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

3rd Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
+3	+3	+1	+1	+0 (1)

Danger Sense

At 3rd level, a barbarian gains a +1 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps.

In addition, she gains a +1 bonus on Perception checks to avoid being surprised by a foe.

This ability counts as trap sense for any feat or class prerequisite, and can be replaced by any archetype class feature that replaces trap sense. The bonuses gained from this ability stack with those gained from trap sense (if the barbarian has trap sense from another class).

Feats

The barbarian gains no extra feats on third level.

Default: Pick Cleave as your level 3 feat.

4th Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
+4	+4	+1	+1	+1 (2)

Talents

At 4th level the Barbarian gains a combat talent.

Default: You pick the Shieldbreaker Berserker talent.

Rage Power

At 4th level, the barbarian gains a Rage Power. A barbarian gains the benefits of rage powers only while raging. Some of these powers are always active during a rage, and others require the barbarian to take an action to use them. Unless otherwise noted, a barbarian cannot select an individual power more than once.

Default: Pick the Rolling Dodge rage power.

5th Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
+5	+4	+1	+1	+0 (2)

Improved Uncanny Dodge

At 5th level, a barbarian can no longer be flanked. This defense denies enemies the ability to sneak attack the barbarian by flanking her.

Feats

The barbarian gains no extra feats on fifth level.

Default: Pick Powerful Maneuvers as your level 5 feat.

6th Level

Base Attack Bonus	Fort Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Combat Talents
