Primeval Hunter (Beast Archetype)

*Some prefer the call of the primeval dinosaurs and megafauna long ago to the beasts of the present. Calling upon their primal savagery to tear apart their foes with a renewed frenzy, the Primeval Hunter stalks in the night and reminds us of the past terrors.*

## Primal Frenzy (Su)

Primeval hunters channel the aspects of great antediluvian beasts. Their Nature's Fury does not grant a natural armor bonus nor the secondary ability score, but instead grants a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and reflex saves. In addition, when in a Nature's Fury and making a full attack, they may make one additional attack at their highest attack bonus. This cannot be combined with Two-Weapon Fighting or other similar abilities.

At 13th level the dodge bonus increases to +3, and at 20th increases to +4.

This alters nature’s fury, greater form, and true bestial wrath.

## Defensive Instincts

At 17th level, a Primeval Hunter gains evasion as per the rogue class feature, but only while in a primal frenzy.

This replaces Tireless Frenzy

## Primal Aspects

The animals of modern day can’t keep up with the raw savagery that the Primeval Hunter exudes, forcing them into choosing forms more appropriate to their primal urges.

This alters, and otherwise functions as the beast's aspects.
