===Vigorous Intensity (Ex)=== | ===Vigorous Intensity (Ex)=== | ||
Beginning at 1st level, a barbarian uses her Constitution modifier instead of her Strength modifier when calculating to-hit and damage numbers when not using Rage. Wielding two-handed weapons adds 1.5 her Con modifiers instead of Str modifiers. A barbarian's Con modifier is also used when calculating hit points and Fortitude saves, as normal. The barbarian's Strength modifier, when not raging, is only used for Strength-based skill modifiers, Strength checks and encumbrance calculations. Vigorous Intensity is the ability that lets female barbarians be such slender little engines of utter destruction, as they are depicted on the covers of countless high-quality comic books. Note, however, that a high Strength score is still very valuable to a Barbarian when using their Rage class ability (See below). | Beginning at 1st level, a barbarian uses her Constitution modifier instead of her Strength modifier when calculating to-hit and damage numbers when not using Rage.

===Fast Movement (Ex)=== | ===Fast Movement (Ex)=== | ||
A barbarian's land speed is faster than the norm for her race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor, and not carrying a heavy load.

A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage.
