Legendary Barbarian

If you do end up being a fan of the Legendary Games stuff please go support them at https://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/ because they are great and deserve all the love we can send their way.

**Note:** A Legendary Barbarian cannot Multiclass or VMC into Barbarian or Unchained Barbarian.

Role: Barbarians excel in combat, possessing the martial prowess and fortitude to take on foes seemingly far superior to themselves. With rage granting them boldness and daring beyond that of most other warriors, barbarians charge furiously into battle and ruin all who would stand in their way.

**Alignment:** Any

**Hit Die:** d12

**Starting Wealth:** 3d6 x 10 gp (Average 105 gp)

**Class Skills:** The Barbarian's class skills are Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge [Nature] (Int), Perception (Wis), Ride (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

**Skill Ranks per Level:** 4 + Int Modifier.

### **Weapon and Armor Proficiencies**

A barbarian is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, light, and medium) and shields (including tower shields).

### **Endurance**

A barbarian gains Endurance as a bonus feat.

### **Fast Movement (Ex)**

A barbarian’s base speed is faster than the norm for her race by 10 feet. This benefit applies only when she 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 base speed.

### **Rage (Ex)**

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

While in a rage, a barbarian gains the benefits of her rage form and a +4 bonus on Will saves against fear effects but takes a –2 penalty to her Armor Class. She also gains 2 temporary hit points per Hit Die. At 11th level this increases to 3 temporary hit points per level, and at 20th level this increases to 4 temporary hit points per level. These temporary hit points are lost first when a character takes damage, disappear when the rage ends, and are not replenished if the barbarian enters a rage again within 1 minute of her previous rage.

While in a rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skill (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration (such as spellcasting).

A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued for 1 minute after a rage ends. A barbarian can’t enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter a rage multiple times per day. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends. Spells, feats, and abilities which grant extra rounds of rage only grant the legendary barbarian half as many rounds of rage as normal (minimum 1).

### **Rage Form (Ex)**

At 1st level, a barbarian selects one of the following rage forms. She selects an additional rage form at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels. Whenever she rages, she enters into one of her selected rage forms. A barbarian cannot change rage forms while in a rage.

#### **Animal Rage (Ex)**
