barbarian is hit but before he knows for how and brave warrior, not easily dissuaded from
much damage he is hit, he may decide to halve death or danger. At 9th level, he gains a +2

shaken condition, this ability removes the fear
effect entirely.
 Shrug it Off (Ex): The barbarian
becomes even hardier, healing hit points faster
than other people would. The barbarian now
recovers hit points and ability point damage
twice as fast as normal characters, this
increase to triple the amount with full rest or
long term care or quadruple with both. This
ability enhances the barbarian’s ability to
recover from harm and does not allow him to
recover damage caused by lack of sleep,
hunger and thirsty and other similar means
without eating, drinking or sleeping, for
example.
Barbarian Trait (Ex): At 1st and 2nd
level and every three levels thereafter (5th,
8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 20th), a barbarian
gains a special trait of his choice from among
the following. Unless otherwise noted, all
barbarian traits are extraordinary abilities.
Barbarian Traits
Barbarian traits are organized into
tiers. Tier 1 traits have no prerequisites. Tier 2
traits each have one specific tier 1 ability as a
prerequisite, and tier 3 traits have either a
specific tier 1 trait and a specific tier 2 trait as
prerequisites, or another tier 3 trait as a
prerequisite.
Tier 1 Traits
Fury: As a free action the barbarian
enters a state of furious anger that grants him
+1 bonus to attack, damage, and initiative rolls
for 3 + Constitution modifier rounds. He may
enter Fury once per day per four barbarian
levels. The barbarian may declare that he is
entering a furious state immediately before
initiative is rolled.
Hard Stare: Sometimes all the
barbarian needs to do is stare his opponents
down. The barbarian may replace his
Charisma modifier with his Strength modifier
in order to determine Intimidate checks, and
further gains a +2 bonus to Intimidate to
demoralize an opponent.
Heart of Wolverine: Hurting the
barbarian is a sure way to make him angrier.
Whenever a barbarian is dropped to half or
less hit points, a barbarian gains +2 bonus to
Strength and Dexterity.
Quick Stride: The barbarian’s speed is
faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet.
This benefit applies only when he is wearing
no armor or light armor, and not carrying a
medium or heavy load. A barbarian may select
this trait multiple times, increasing his speed
by +10 feet each time; however, she may not
choose this trait twice in a row.
Thick Skinned: The barbarian gains
energy resistance of 2 against fire and cold.
This ability may be taken multiple times, each
time the resistance increases by +1.
War Cry: Shouting in exultation, the
barbarian gains +2 morale bonus to attack and
damage and grant all allies within 20 ft. a
similar +1 bonus. If the barbarian hits his
target, the target must succeed on a will save
(10 + 1/2 barbarian level + Charisma) or be
shaken for the next 1d6 rounds. This is part of
an attack action, lasts for one round, and may
be used once per encounter.
Tier 2 Traits
Overland Stride (Requires Quick
Stride): When using Survival and performing
tasks that normally require him to move at
half-speed (such as tracking, foraging, or
concealing tracks), the barbarian may move at
normal speed without penalty.
Rage (Requires Fury): As a free action
the barbarian can fly into a rage, using this
ability takes up one use of the fury ability for
the day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily
gains a +4 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to
Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus on Will
saves, but he takes a –2 penalty to Armor
Class. The increase in Constitution increases
the barbarian’s hit points by 2 points per level,
but these hit points go away at the end of the
rage when his Constitution score drops back to
normal. (These extra hit points are not lost
first the way temporary hit points are.) While
raging, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-,
Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except
for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and
Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities
that require patience or concentration, nor can
he cast spells or activate magic items that
require a command word, a spell trigger (such
as a wand), or spell completion (such as a
scroll) to function. He can use any feat he has
except Combat Expertise, item creation feats,
and metamagic feats. A fit of rage lasts for a
number of rounds equal to 3 + the character’s
(newly improved) Constitution modifier. A
barbarian may prematurely end his rage. At
the end of the rage, the barbarian loses the
rage modifiers and restrictions and becomes
fatigued (–2 penalty to Strength, –2 penalty to
Dexterity, can’t charge or run) for double the
amount of time he spent in rage.
Stamina (Requires Thick Skinned):
When affected by a harmful spell that allows a
fortitude save, the duration of the spell is
halved (unless instantaneous or permanent)
and any damage is halved. This reduction only
applies to the barbarian, area spells still have
their full duration and do full damage to
surrounding targets.
Steel Eyes (Requires Hard Stare): The
barbarian may use the demoralize action as a
move action.
Uncanny Dodge (Requires Quick
Stride): The barbarian retains his Dexterity
bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-
footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to
AC if immobilized.
Wild Blow (Requires Fury): Barbarians
are unmatched when it comes to raw blow
exchange. The barbarian may add +1d6 of
damage to a single melee attack for every -2
penalty he takes to his AC (thus taking a -4
penalty to AC grants +2d6 damage, -6 penalty
to AC grants +3d6 damage, etc.), this penalty
last until the end of the characters next turn.
A barbarian may not deal nonlethal
damage with wild blow.
Tier 3 Traits
Mighty Blow (Requires Wild Blow and
Rage): As a standard action the barbarian may
elect to take a -4 penalty on an attack to
deliver a mighty blow. If the barbarian hits an
opponent within one size category of himself
with a mighty blow, his opponent must
succeed on a Reflex save (DC = damage dealt)
or be knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of
the barbarians choice and fall prone. The
barbarian can only push the opponent in a
straight line, and the opponent can’t move
closer to the barbarian than the square he
started in. If an obstacle prevents the
completion of the opponent’s move, the
opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6
points of damage, and the opponent stops in
the space adjacent to the obstacle. Targets
larger than the barbarian gain a +4 to the save
per size category to avoid being knocked;
smaller ones suffer -4 per size category.
Berserk (Requires Rage and Heart of
Wolverine): When entering rage, a barbarian
can decide to decrease the rage’s duration and
increase its potency. He must decide how
many rounds less will the rage last and this
number cannot exceed his Constitution bonus.
For each round subtracted a barbarian’s
Strength increases by additional 1 for the
duration of that rage.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Requires
Uncanny Dodge): A barbarian can no longer
be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the
ability to sneak attack the barbarian by
flanking him, unless the attacker has at least
four more rogue levels than the target has
barbarian levels. If a character already has
uncanny dodge (see above) from a second
class, the character automatically gains
improved uncanny dodge instead, and the
levels from the classes that grant uncanny
dodge stack to determine the minimum level a
rogue must be to flank the character.
Menacing Aura (Requires Steel Eyes
and Wild Blow): In the midst of battle, covered
in blood, the barbarian is a frightening sight.
The barbarian exudes a demoralizing aura at
all times, any opponent within 30 ft. takes a -2
morale penalty to attack, any opponent
immune to fear or mind-affecting effects are
immune to this ability.
Mighty Rage (Requires Berserk): A
barbarian’s bonuses to Strength and
Constitution during his rage each increase to
+6, and his morale bonus on Will saves
increases to +3. The penalty to AC remains at
–2.
Swift as the Wind (Requires Improved
Uncanny Dodge): The barbarian appears to be
everywhere on the battlefield. By sacrificing
his lowest attack in the full attack action the
barbarian gains a move action that may be
used before, during or after the full attack
action, if the barbarian has the spring attack
feat this movement may be used to move both
before and after attacks. The barbarian may
sacrifice no more than one attack to use this
ability.
Tough as Nails (Requires Stamina and
Heart of Wolverine): When a critical hit is
scored on the barbarian the critical multiplier
is reduced by one. Thus a x4 critical become
x3 and a x2 critical does normal damage (but
is still considered a critical hit for the purpose
of other effects).
