Unarmed Attack Proficiency and Benefits

Errata 1.0 – 2019-10-30

• For any class feature that improves the proficiency rank or grants the critical specialization effect access for simple weapons or a specific set of weapons, that ability also grants that benefit for unarmed attacks.
• (5th) Brutality: Your fury makes your weapons lethal. Your proficiency ranks for simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks increase to expert. While raging, you gain access to the critical specialization effects for melee weapons and unarmed attacks.
• (7th) Weapon Specialisation: Your rage helps you hit harder. You deal an additional 2 damage with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you have expert proficiency. This damage increases to 3 if you’re a master, and 4 if you’re legendary. You gain your instinct’s specialization ability.
• (13th) Greater Juggernaut: You have a stalwart physiology. Your proficiency rank for Fortitude saves increases to legendary. When you roll a critical failure on a Fortitude save, you get a failure instead. When you roll a fail on a Fortitude save against an effect that deals damage, you halve the damage you take.
• (13th) Weapon Fury: Your rage makes you even more effective with the weapons you wield. Your proficiency ranks for simple weapons, martial weapons, and unarmed attacks increase to master.
• (15th) Greater Weapon Specialisation: The weapons you’ve mastered become truly fearsome in your hands. Your damage from weapon specialization increases to 4 with weapons and unarmed attacks in which you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 8 if you’re legendary. You gain a greater benefit from your instinct’s specialization ability.

Barbarian Instincts

Animal Instinct

Errata 1.0 – 2019-10-30

The fury of a wild predator fills you when you Rage, granting you ferocious unarmed attacks. Cultures that revere vicious animals (such as apes or bears) give rise to barbarians with this instinct. You might also be at war with an uncontrollable, animalistic side of your personality, or you might be a descendant of a werewolf or another werecreature. Select an animal from Table 3–3: Animal Instincts that best matches your chosen animal.

Animal	Attack	Damage	Traits
Ape	Fist	1d10 B	Grapple, unarmed
Bear	Jaws Claw	1d10 P 1d6 S	Unarmed Agile, unarmed
Bull	Horn	1d10 P	Shove, unarmed
Cat	Jaws Claw	1d10 P 1d6 S	Unarmed Agile, unarmed
Deer	Antler	1d10 P	Grapple, unarmed
Frog	Jaws Tongue	1d10 B 1d4 B	Unarmed Agile, unarmed
Shark	Jaws	1d10 P	Grapple, unarmed
Snake	Fangs	1d10 P	Grapple, unarmed
Wolf	Jaws	1d10 P	Trip, unarmed

Giant Instinct

Errata 1.0 – 2019-10-30

Titan Mauler (Instinct Ability) You can use a weapon built for a Large creature if you are Small or Medium (both normally and when raging). If you’re not Small or Medium, you can use a weapon built for a creature one size larger than you. You gain access to this larger weapon, of any weapon type otherwise available at character creation. It has the normal Price and Bulk for a weapon of its size (page 295). When wielding such a weapon in combat, increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6, but you have the clumsy 1 condition (page 618) because of the weapon’s unwieldy size. You can’t remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon.
