Feats

Autogranted feats:

• Dismiss Rage
• Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Handwraps
• Shifter Traits: As a Shifter, you are consider both a Humanoid and an Animal for the purposes of effects. (Tip: This makes you eligible from effects like Magic Fang).
• Razorclaw Shifter: Passive: +1 STR. Active: Activate this Shifter ability to shift your form, granting you a +4 Rage bonus to Strength and Dexterity, a +2 Morale bonus to Fortitude saves, and a -2 penalty to Wisdom. When the form ends, however, you will become fatigued. Your form will last for 30 seconds plus an additional amount of time based on your Constitution. You can prematurely end your form by using the Dismiss Rage feat. This shares charges with Barbarian's Rage feat, and anything that grants bonuses while Raging will grant bonuses with this. Shifting your form in this way prevents Spellcasting.

Shifting is very similar to Barbarian Rage. Its duration uses the same calculation as for a barbarian's Rage ability, and all bonuses gained that apply to rage will apply to shifting, even when this may not be intuitive - for example, a Razorclaw Shifter with at least 11 levels of Barbarian will gain an additional +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, +1 Will, and +10 Melee Power while shifting, thanks to the increases provided by Greater Rage. Bonuses from racial enhancements and barbarian enhancement trees also appear to fully stack, including those to duration (Extend Shifting and Extend Rage) and to ability scores (Hardy Shifting and Hardy Rage).

Iconic Past Life Feats
