The Bravo is a powerhouse on the battlefield, commanding respect through sheer strength and fearless aggression. Whether tearing through enemies in a savage melee or asserting dominance in the chaotic streets, the Bravo's might is unmatched. They charge into danger with overwhelming force, confident that their raw power will see them 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. Berserker: You cannot use armor except special armor, but you reduce all harm from attacks that lack potency by one level.
  2. Irresistible Force: You may expend your special armor to reduce consequences in combat or to push Wreck.
  3. Presence: You can use Wreck instead of Sway to impress someone with your physical allure.
  4. Rage: You can enter a rage when using wreck. You worsen position, increase effect, and ignore the penalties of level 1 and 2 harm.
  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. You can mark one Weight to ignore all penalties from harm, including being twonked, for a single action.
  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.
