Penetrating Blow (Rage Power)

Penetrating Blow (Ex)

Requires: Barbarian 10, Feral Mien

Benefit: As a free action, you can spend 2 points of fury to cause your next attack to ignore an amount of your enemy's DR equal to the amount of DR you have from your barbarian class ability. The fury points to activate this power must be spent prior to the attack roll, and if the attack misses, or fails to occur before the start of your next turn, the fury points are lost.

Progression:

• 11th Level: If your target has no DR capable of blocking your attacks, an attack modified by Penetrating Blow instead deals bonus damage equal to half of the DR granted by your barbarian class ability (round down). Bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
• 21st Level: If you roll a critical hit with an attack modified with Penetrating Blow, it automatically confirms.
• 31st Level: If your target has no DR capable of blocking your attacks, an attack modified by Penetrating Blow instead deals bonus damage equal to the DR granted by your barbarian class ability. Bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
