In the ways of their people, in the fury of their passion, in the howl of battle, conflict is all these brutal souls know. Savages, hired muscle, masters of vicious martial techniques, they are not soldiers or professional warriors; they are the battle possessed, creatures of slaughter and spirits of war. These warmongers know little of training, preparation, or the rules of warfare; for them, only the moment exists, with the foes that stand before them and the knowledge that the next moment might hold their death. They possess a sixth sense in regard to danger and the endurance to weather all that might entail. These brutal warriors might rise from all walks of life, both civilized and savage, though whole societies embracing such philosophies roam the wild places of the world. Within followers of this Path storms the primal spirit of battle, and woe to those who face their rage.// ---- ===== Key Skills ===== Upon purchasing the Path of Rage, you gain the following Key Skills: * [[priority:skills:acrobatics|Acrobatics]] * [[priority:skills:athletics|Athletics]] * [[priority:skills:intimidate|Intimidate]] * [[priority:skills:knowledge|Knowledge]] (Nature) * [[priority:skills:perception|Perception]] ---- <WRAP center round info 60%> All bonuses from this path are treated as [[chargen:common_terms#enhancement_bonuses|Enhancement Bonuses]]. </WRAP> <WRAP round box> ===== Clarity of Mind ===== * **Requirements:** Rage OR Frenzy OR Battle Trance, 10 EXP By spending 1 TP, a character may suspend the negative effects of a Wrath effect (Rage, Frenzy, or Battle Trance) and maintain all positive effects for one round </WRAP> ===== Trail of Rage ===== <WRAP round box> ==== Rage ==== * **Requirements:** [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 4, 10 EXP * **Cost:** 1 TP to activate, then 1 TP per round As an Immediate Action, you may spend 1 TP to enter a Rage.
