Mauler (Rage Power)

Mauler (Ex)

Requires: Barbarian 1, Feral Mien

Benefit: Once per round as a free action, you can activate this rage power to gain a bonus bite attack whenever you make a full attack action. The attack bonus of this bite attack is made at your highest attack value, based on your main hand weapon, including any enhancement bonuses, feat bonuses, etc. If it hits, the bite deals 1d6 points of base weapon damage + your CHA modifier + any enhancement bonuses or feat bonuses your main weapon normally adds to damage. (Remember that base weapon damage increases at levels 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, and 31.) The damage from Mauler's bite attack does not include your STR or CON modifiers. Mauler deals Crushing (physical, common) damage (like all bite attacks) and belongs to the "Close" weapon group.

The effects of the Mauler rage power last until the end of your current turn. If you fail to make a full attack during that time, the activation is wasted.

Progression:

• 11th Level: Mauler can also grant its bonus bite attack when you attack using a standard action, up to once per round. It cannot be re-activated a second time in the same round, even with an action point.
• 21st Level: Mauler's bite attack now also includes your STR modifier in the damage it deals.
• 31st Level: Mauler's bite attack now also includes your CON modifier in the damage it deals.
