Barbarian

Rage consumes you in battle. You delight in wreaking havoc and using powerful weapons to carve through your enemies, relying on astonishing durability without needing complicated techniques or rigid training. Your rages draw upon a vicious instinct, which you might associate with an animal, a spirit, or some part of yourself. To many barbarians, brute force is a hammer and every problem looks like a nail, whereas others try to hold back the storm of emotions inside them and release their rage only when it matters most.

Key Ability

Strength. At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Strength.

Hit Points

12 plus your Constitution Modifier. You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.

Initial Proficiencies

At 1st level, you gain the listed proficiency ranks in the following statistics. You are untrained in anything not listed unless you gain a better proficiency rank in some other way.

Roleplaying the Barbarian

During combat encounters…

• You summon your rage and rush to the front lines to smash your way through.
• Offense is your best defense—you’ll need to drop foes before they can exploit your relatively low defenses.

During social encounters…

• You use intimidation to get what you need, especially when gentler persuasion can’t get the job done.

While exploring…

• You look out for danger, ready to rush headfirst into battle in an instant. You climb the challenging rock wall and drop a rope for others to follow, and you wade into the risky currents to reach the hidden switch beneath the water’s surface. If something needs breaking, you’re up to the task!

In downtime…

• You might head to a tavern to carouse, build up the fearsome legend of your mighty deeds, or recruit followers to become a warlord in your own right.

You might…

• Have a deep-seated well of anger, hatred, or frustration.
• Prefer a straightforward approach to one requiring patience and tedium.
• Engage in a regimen of intense physical fitness—and punch anyone who says this conflicts with your distaste for patience and tedium.

Others probably…

• Rely on your courage and your strength, and trust that you can hold your own in a fight.
• See you as uncivilized or a boorish lout unfit for high society.
• Believe that you are loyal to your friends and allies and will never relent until the fight is done.

Class Features

You gain these abilities as a barbarian. Abilities gained at higher levels list the requisite levels next to their names.

Ancestry and Background

In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.

Initial Proficiencies

At 1st level you gain a number of proficiencies that represent your basic training. These proficiencies are noted in at the start of this class.

Rage

You gain the Rage action, which lets you fly into a frenzy.

Rage [one-action]

Barbarian Concentrate Emotion Mental

Requirements You aren’t fatigued or raging.

You tap into your inner fury and begin raging. You gain a number of temporary Hit Points equal to your level plus your Constitution modifier. This frenzy lasts for 1 minute, until there are no enemies you can perceive, or until you fall unconscious, whichever comes first. You can’t voluntarily stop raging. While you are raging:

• You deal 2 additional damage with melee weapons and unarmed attacks. This additional damage is halved if your weapon or unarmed attack is agile.
• You take a –1 penalty to AC.
• You can’t use actions with the concentrate trait unless they also have the rage trait. You can Seek while raging.

After you stop raging, you lose any remaining temporary Hit Points from Rage, and you can’t Rage again for 1 minute.

Instinct

Your rage wells up from a dominant instinct—one you learned from a tradition or that comes naturally to you. Your instinct gives you an ability, requires you to avoid certain behaviors, grants you increased damage and resistances at higher levels, and allows you to select feats tied to your instinct. For more information, see Instincts.

Barbarian Feats

At 1st level and every even-numbered level thereafter, you gain a barbarian class feat.

Skill Feats 2nd

At 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill feat. Skill feats have the skill trait. You must be trained or better in the corresponding skill to select a skill feat.

Deny Advantage 3rd

Your foes struggle to pass your defenses. You aren’t flatfooted to hidden, undetected, or flanking creatures of your level or lower, or creatures of your level or lower using surprise attack. However, they can still help their allies flank.

General Feats 3rd

At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you gain a general feat.

Skill Increases 3rd

At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill increase. You can use this increase either to increase your proficiency rank to trained in one skill you’re untrained in, or to increase your proficiency rank in one skill in which you’re already trained to expert.

At 7th level, you can use skill increases to increase your proficiency rank to master in a skill in which you’re already an expert, and at 15th level, you can use them to increase your proficiency rank to legendary in a skill in which you’re already a master.

Ability Boosts 5th

At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you boost four different ability scores. You can use these ability boosts to increase your ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it’s already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts below 18.

Ancestry Feats 5th

In addition to the ancestry feat you started with, you gain an ancestry feat at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter.

The list of ancestry feats available to you can be found in your ancestry’s entry.

Brutality 5th

Your fury makes your weapons lethal.

Your proficiency ranks for simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks increase to expert. While raging, you gain access to the critical specialization effects for melee weapons and unarmed attacks.

Juggernaut 7th

Your body is accustomed to physical hardship and resistant to ailments. Your proficiency rank for Fortitude saves increases to master. When you roll a success on a Fortitude save, you get a critical success instead.

Weapon Specialization 7th

Your rage helps you hit harder. You deal an additional 2 damage with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you have expert proficiency.

This damage increases to 3 if you’re a master, and 4 if you’re legendary. You gain your instinct’s specialization ability.

Lightning Reflexes 9th

Your reflexes are Lightning fast. Your proficiency rank for Reflex saves increases to expert.

Raging Resistance 9th

Repeated exposure and toughened skin allow you to fend off harm. While raging, you gain resistance equal to 3 + your Constitution modifier to damage types based on your instinct.

Mighty Rage 11th

Your rage intensifies and lets you burst into action. Your proficiency rank for your barbarian class DC increases to expert. You gain the Mighty Rage free action.

Mighty Rage [free-action]

Barbarian

Trigger You use the Rage action on your turn.

Use an action that has the rage trait. Alternatively, you can increase the actions of the triggering Rage to 2 to instead use a 2-action activity with the rage trait.

Greater Juggernaut 13th

You have a stalwart physiology. Your proficiency rank for Fortitude saves increases to legendary. When you roll a critical failure on a Fortitude save, you get a failure instead. When you fail a Fortitude save against an effect that deals damage, you halve the damage you take.

Medium Armor Expertise 13th

You’ve learned to defend yourself better against attacks.

Your proficiency ranks for light armor, medium armor, and unarmored defense increase to expert.

Weapon Fury 13th

Your rage makes you even more effective with the weapons you wield. Your proficiency ranks for simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks increase to master.

Greater Weapon Specialization 15th

The weapons you’ve mastered become truly fearsome in your hands. Your damage from weapon specialization increases to 4 with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 8 if you’re legendary. You gain a greater benefit from your instinct’s specialization ability.

Indomitable Will 15th

Your rage makes it difficult to control you. Your proficiency rank for Will saves increases to master. When you roll a success on a Will save, you get a critical success instead.

Heightened Senses 17th

Your instinct heightens each of your senses further. Your proficiency rank for Perception increases to master.

Quick Rage 17th

You recover from your Rage quickly, and are soon ready to begin anew. After you spend a full turn without raging, you can Rage again without needing to wait 1 minute.

Armor of Fury 19th

Your training and rage deepen your connection to your armor. Your proficiency ranks for light armor, medium armor, and unarmored defense increase to master.

Devastator 19th

Your Strikes are so devastating that you hardly care about resistance, and your barbarian abilities are unparalleled.

Your proficiency rank for your barbarian class DC increases to master. Your melee Strikes ignore 10 points of a creature’s resistance to their physical damage.

Barbarian Instincts

You channel your rage through an instinct. You decide what your instinct means to you. It could be a creature or symbol beloved by your clan, or a purely internal source or filter of your rage, such as a belief, curse, heritage, or state of mind. Each instinct grants an instinct ability, plus more abilities you can gain via instinct feats. It also determines what damage you resist with raging resistance and, at higher levels, increases the additional damage you deal when you Rage.

Each instinct lists acts that are anathema to it.

Whenever you perform such acts, you lose the instinct’s abilities and any instinct feats until you spend 1 day of downtime re-centering yourself, though you keep all of your other barbarian abilities.

Animal Instinct

The fury of a wild predator fills you when you Rage, granting you ferocious unarmed attacks. Cultures that revere vicious animals (such as apes or bears) give rise to barbarians with this instinct. You might also be at war with an uncontrollable, animalistic side of your personality, or you might be a descendant of a werewolf or another werecreature. Select an animal from Table 3–3: Animal Instincts that best matches your chosen animal.

Table 3–3: Animal Instincts

Animal	Attack	Damage	Traits
Ape	Fist	1d10 B	Grapple, unarmed
Bear	Jaws	1d10 P	Unarmed
	Claw	1d6 S	Agile, unarmed
Bull	Horn	1d10 P	Shove, unarmed
Cat	Jaws	1d10 P	Unarmed
	Claw	1d6 S	Agile, unarmed
Deer	Antler	1d8 P	Charge, unarmed
Frog	Jaws	1d10 B	Unarmed
	Tongue	1d4 B	Agile, unarmed
Shark	Jaws	1d10 P	Grapple, unarmed
Snake	Fangs	1d10 P	Grapple, unarmed
Wolf	Jaws	1d10 P	Trip, unarmed

Anathema

Flagrantly disrespecting an animal of your chosen kind is anathema to your instinct, as is using weapons while raging.

Bestial Rage (Instinct Ability)

When you Rage, you gain your chosen animal’s unarmed attack (or attacks). The specific attack gained, the damage it deals, and its traits are listed on Table 3–3: Animal Instincts.

These attacks are in the brawling group. Your Rage action gains the morph, primal, and transmutation traits.

Specialization Ability

Increase the damage die size for the unarmed attacks granted by your chosen animal by one step, and increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 5 for your chosen animal’s unarmed attacks. The frog’s tongue attack and deer’s antler attack gain reach 10 feet. If you have greater weapon specialization, increase the damage from Rage from 5 to 12 for your chosen animal’s unarmed attacks.

Raging Resistance

You resist piercing and slashing damage.

Dragon Instinct

You summon the fury of a mighty dragon and manifest incredible abilities. Perhaps your culture reveres draconic majesty, or you gained your connection by drinking or bathing in dragon’s blood or after watching a marauding wyrm burn your village. Select a type of dragon from Table 3–4: Dragon Instincts to be your instinct’s dragon type.

Chromatic dragons tend to be evil, and metallic dragons tend to be good.

Table 3–4: Dragon Instincts

Dragon Type	Breath Weapon
Black	Chromatic Line of acid
Blue	Chromatic Line of electricity
Green	Chromatic Cone of poison
Red	Chromatic Cone of fire
White	Chromatic Cone of cold
Brass	Metallic Line of fire
Bronze	Metallic Line of electricity
Copper	Metallic Line of acid
Gold	Metallic Cone of fire
Silver	Metallic Cone of cold

Anathema

Letting a personal insult against you slide is anathema to your instinct. Choose whether your character respects or abhors your dragon type. If you respect it, defying such a dragon is anathema, and if you abhor it, failing to defeat such a dragon you come across is anathema.

Draconic Rage (Instinct Ability)

While raging, you can increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4 and change its damage type to match that of your dragon’s breath weapon instead of the damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack. If you do this, your Rage action gains the arcane and evocation traits, as well as the trait matching the damage type.

Specialization Ability

When you use draconic rage, you increase the additional damage from Rage from 4 to 8. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage when using draconic rage from 8 to 16.

Raging Resistance

You resist piercing damage and the damage type of your dragon’s breath weapon.

Fury Instinct

Your rage comes from a deep and purely personal well within you. You use your rage as you choose.

Anathema and Instinct Ability

You don’t have an anathema or an instinct ability. Instead, you gain an additional 1st-level barbarian feat.

Specialization Ability

Increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the additional damage from Rage to 12.

Raging Resistance

You resist physical weapon damage, but not physical damage from other sources (such as unarmed attacks).

Giant Instinct

Your rage gives you the raw power and size of a giant. This doesn’t necessarily mean you revere giants—you might scoff at them or even aspire to slay them! You could instead seem like a giant to other people due to your exceptional strength or larger-than-life emotions and ego.

Anathema

Failing to face a personal challenge of strength is anathema.

Titan Mauler (Instinct Ability)

You can use a weapon built for a Large creature if you are Small or Medium (both normally and when raging). If you’re not Small or Medium, you can use a weapon built for a creature one size larger than you. You gain access to one weapon one size larger than you, of any weapon type otherwise available at character creation. It has the normal Price and Bulk for a weapon of its size. When wielding such a weapon in combat, increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6, but you have the clumsy 1 condition because of the weapon’s unwieldy size. You can’t remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon.

Specialization Ability

Increase the damage from Rage when using a larger weapon from 6 to 10; if you have greater weapon specialization, increase it from 10 to 18.

Raging Resistance

You resist bludgeoning damage and your choice of cold, electricity, or fire, chosen when you gain raging resistance.

Spirit Instinct

Whether you are emotionally sensitive to the spirits around you; worship ancestors or apparitions; or are haunted by the specter of an ancestor, relative, friend, or foe, your rage takes the form of a spiritual possession.

Anathema

Disrespecting corpses or spirits is anathema to your instinct; defending yourself against undead creatures is not.

Spirit Rage (Instinct Ability)

When you are raging, you can increase your damage from Rage from 2 to 3 and deal negative or positive damage, instead of the normal damage type for your weapon or unarmed attack (choose each time you Rage). If you choose to deal negative or positive damage, your weapon or unarmed attack gains the effects of the ghost touch property Rune, which makes it more effective against incorporeal creatures, and your Rage action gains the divine and necromancy traits, plus negative or positive, as appropriate.

Specialization Ability

When using spirit rage, increase the damage from Rage from 3 to 7. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage when using spirit rage to 13.

Raging Resistance

You resist negative damage, as well as damage dealt by the attacks and abilities of undead creatures, regardless of the damage type.

Superstition Instinct

Source PRG2:APG

A deep distrust of magic drives you to forgo and counter the metaphysical nonsense of spellcasters.

Whether you’re a member of a superstitious family or culture that distrusts magic, a warrior in constant battle against wizards and witches, a survivor of a magical accident that instilled an intense aversion in your mind and body, or a scion of a bloodline known for its magic resistance, your rage is inimical to magic.

This makes you an excellent mage hunter but slow to trust practitioners of magical arts. Your extremely restrictive anathema grants you powers beyond those of other instincts.

Anathema

Willingly accepting the effects of magic spells (including from scrolls, wands, and the like), even from your allies, is anathema to your instinct. You can still drink potions and invest and activate most magic items you find, though items that cast spells are subject to the same restrictions as all other spells. If an ally insists on using magic on you despite your unwillingness, and you have no reason to believe they will stop, continuing to travel with that ally of your own free will counts as willingly accepting their spells (as do similar circumstances) and thus is also anathema to your instinct.

Superstitious Resilience (Instinct Ability)

While raging, you gain a +2 status bonus to all saves against magic. Increase your damage from Rage from 2 to 4 against creatures that can cast spells. Once every 10 minutes, when you Rage, you regain Hit Points equal to the temporary Hit Points you gain from that Rage action.

Specialization Ability 7th

Increase the damage from Rage from 4 to 8 against creatures that can cast spells. If you have greater raging specialization, instead increase the damage from Rage to 12 against creatures with spells and 8 against other creatures.

Raging Resistance 9th

Choose two associated magical traditions: arcane and occult, arcane and primal, divine and occult, or divine and primal. The resistance from your raging resistance class feature applies against all damage you take from spells cast with these two traditions of magic, regardless of the type of damage dealt by the spell.

Raging Intimidation Feat 1

Barbarian

Your fury fills your foes with fear. While you are raging, your Demoralize and Scare to Death actions (from the Intimidation skill and an Intimidation skill feat, respectively) gain the rage trait, allowing you to use them while raging. As soon as you meet the prerequisites for the skill feats Intimidating Glare and Scare to Death, you gain these feats.

Raging Thrower Feat 1

With a quick sprint, you dash up to your foe and swing. Stride twice. If you end your movement within melee reach of at least one enemy, you can make a melee Strike against that enemy.

Furious Finish [one-action] Feat 2

Barbarian Rage

Desperate to finish the fight, you pour all your rage into one final blow. Make a Strike.

After this Strike, your Rage immediately ends, and you are fatigued until you rest for at least 10 minutes.

No Escape [reaction] Feat 2

Barbarian Rage

Trigger A foe within reach attempts to move away from you.

You keep pace with a retreating foe. Stride up to your Speed, following the foe and keeping it in reach throughout its movement until it stops moving or you’ve moved your full Speed. You can use No Escape to Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim instead of Stride if you have the corresponding movement type.

Second Wind Feat 2

Barbarian Concentrate Rage

You concentrate on your rage, overcoming fear and fighting back sickness. Reduce your frightened condition value by 1, and attempt a Fortitude save to recover from the sickened condition as if you had spent an action retching; you reduce your sickened condition value by 1 on a failure (but not on a critical failure), by 2 on a success, or by 3 on a critical success.

Roll an Athletics check and compare the result to the Fortitude DC of each creature whose space you attempt to move through during your Stride, moving through its space on a success but ending your movement before entering its space on a failure. You can use Barreling Charge to Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim instead of Stride, as long as you have the corresponding movement type.

Fast Movement Feat 4

Barbarian

Your rage is a frenzy of rapid movements. While you are raging, you gain a +10-foot status bonus to your Speed.

Oversized Throw [two-actions] Feat 4

Source PRG2:APG

Barbarian Rage

Requirements You have one or more hands free.

With a great heave, you seize a piece of your surroundings, such as a boulder, log, table, wagon, or chunk of earth, and hurl it at your foes. The object must be your size or one size smaller than you, and it must not have too much Bulk for you to lift it in the first place. Make a ranged Strike with the object; regardless of the result, the object takes the same amount of damage it would deal on a success. The object is a simple ranged weapon that deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage, has a range increment of 20 feet, and has the thrown weapon trait. The damage increases to 2d10 if you have weapon specialization in simple weapons, or 3d10 if you have greater weapon specialization.

Raging Athlete Feat 4

Spiritual Guides [reaction] Feat 4

Source PRG2:APG

Barbarian Concentrate Fortune

Prerequisite(s) spirit instinct

Frequency once per day

Trigger You fail, but don’t critically fail, a Perception check or a skill check.

Though no one sees them and only you can hear them, the spirits around you constantly chatter, save when you are raging. Sometimes they’re even helpful. You can heed the spirits’ guidance to reroll the triggering check, using the second result even if it’s worse.

Supernatural Senses Feat 4

Source PRG2:APG

Barbarian Rage

Prerequisite(s) Acute Scent or precise or imprecise scent

Your scent is preternaturally sharp, and you can always rely on your sense of smell to help guide you when your vision is compromised. When you target a concealed or hidden opponent while you are raging, you reduce the DC of the flat check to 3 for a concealed target or to 9 for a hidden one.

Swipe [two-action] Feat 4

Barbarian Flourish

You make a wide, arcing swing. Make a single melee Strike and compare the attack roll result to the ACs of up to two foes, each of whom must be within your melee reach and adjacent to the other.

Roll damage only once and apply it to each creature you hit. A Swipe counts as two attacks for your multiple attack penalty.

If you’re using a weapon with the sweep trait, its modifier applies to all your Swipe attacks.

Wounded Rage [reaction] Feat 4

Barbarian Rage

Trigger You take damage and are capable of entering a rage.

You roar in pain, awakening the rage within you. You Rage.

6th Level

---

Animal Skin Feat 6

Barbarian Instinct Morph Primal Transmutation

Prerequisite(s) animal instinct

Your proficiency in unarmored defense increases to expert.

While you are raging and unarmored, your skin transforms into a thick hide resembling your animal’s skin. You gain a +1 status bonus to AC instead of taking a –1 penalty to AC; if you have the greater juggernaut class feature, this status bonus increases to +2. The thickness of your hide gives you a Dexterity modifier cap to your AC of +3.

Attack of Opportunity [reaction] Feat 6

Barbarian

Trigger A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using.

You swat a foe that leaves an opening. Make a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If your attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, you disrupt that action.

This Strike doesn’t count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn’t apply to this Strike.

Brutal Bully Feat 6

Barbarian

Prerequisite(s) expert in Athletics

You push your foes around and leave bruises. While raging, when you successfully Disarm, Grapple, Shove, or Trip a foe, you deal that foe bludgeoning damage equal to your Strength modifier; add this to the damage from a critical success to Trip.

Cleave [reaction] Feat 6

Barbarian Rage

Trigger Your melee Strike kills a creature or knocks it unconscious, and another foe is adjacent to that creature.

You breathe deeply and exhale powerful energy in a 30-foot cone or 60-foot line, dealing 1d6 damage per level. The area and damage type match those of your dragon (see Table 3–4). If you used this ability in the last hour, the area and the damage are halved (15-foot cone or 30-foot line; 1d6 damage for every 2 levels). Each creature in the area must attempt a basic Reflex save.

Giant’s Stature [one-action] Feat 6

Barbarian Instinct Polymorph Primal Rage Transmutation

Prerequisite(s) giant instinct

Mage Hunter [reaction] Feat 6

Source PRG2:APG

Barbarian Rage

Prerequisite(s) superstition instinct

Trigger a creature within your reach Casts a Spell.

Nocturnal Sense Feat 6

Source PRG2:APG

Barbarian Rage

Prerequisite(s) Acute Scent, or precise or imprecise scent and low-light vision
