Class Information

Hit Die: d12.

Class Features

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

Bloodline Taint

Each beast rager has a source of magic somewhere in she heritage that empowers her rage with a monstrous taint. Sometimes this source reflects a distant blood relationship to a powerful being, or is due to an extreme event involving such a creature somewhere in she family's past.

A beast rager must pick one bloodline upon taking she first level of beast rager. Once made, this choice cannot be changed. These are the same bloodlines a bloodrager uses, but the monster rager gains only bloodline powers and nothing else from her bloodline.

The beast rager gains bloodline powers at 1st level, 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter. These powers normally manifest only when raging, but some powers are exceptions to this. The bloodline powers a beast rager gains are described in her chosen bloodline. For all spell-like bloodline powers, treat the character's beast rager level as the caster level.

If the beast rager takes levels in another class that grants a bloodline, the bloodlines must be the same type, even if that means that the bloodline of one of the classes must change. Subject to GM discretion, the beast rager can change her former bloodline to make them conform.

This replaces the rage powers at level 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.
