As a Bravo, you are a powerhouse on the battlefield, commanding respect through sheer strength and fearless aggression. Whether tearing through enemies in a savage wilderness or asserting dominance in the chaotic streets, your might is unmatched. You charge into danger with overwhelming force, confident that your raw power will see you through any challenge.

A new playbook loosely based on the D&D barbarian class. A Pathfinder bloodrager is a bravo multiclassing as a sorcerer.

Special Abilities

  1. Allure: You can use Wreck instead of Sway to impress someone using your physique.
  2. Berserker:Reduce all harm from physical attacks that lack potency by one level. You cannot use armor (excluding special armor) to reduce harm.
  3. Irresistible Force: You may expend your special armor to resist any type of consequence or to push Wreck.
  4. Rage: You can enter a rage when using Wreck. You worsen position, increase effect, and gain +1d to resist. This stacks with trading position for effect.
  5. Resilient: You recover from harm faster. Take +3d to healing treatment rolls. You ignore the penalty from a single level one and a single level two harm. When you push you ignore all penalties from harm.
  6. Rush: You can push yourself to do one of the following: perform a physical feat that verges on the superhuman—push through the ranks of the enemy to engage a select target.
  7. Spirit Shield: Improve position against Power effects and supernatural enemies.
  8. Spirit Warrior: You can attack like a wild beast, fighting unarmed as if you were using a potent melee weapon. You may grapple spirits to restrain and capture them.
