The tireless rager has no control of his rage, instead raging when he suffers failures and setbacks. Once he does rage, he can do so forever.

Class Abilities

The tireless rager has all the class abilities of the barbarian, except as noted below.

Tireless

A tireless rager adds his Fortitude saving throw modifier instead of the Constitution bonus to checks made to continue running; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march; Constitution checks made to hold your breath; Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst. He also adds half his class level on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage from exhaustion; Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments; and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation. He can sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued. Finally, a tireless rager is not fatigued when a rage ends.

    • He takes damage
    • He misses an attack, attribute roll, or skill check
