Elbow Strike (Rage Power)

Elbow Strike (Ex)

Requires: Barbarian 1, Urban Mien

Benefit: Once per round, when performing a full attack action, you can activate Elbow Strike to gain a bonus unarmed strike at your highest attack bonus. This attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if you do not have the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. The to-hit bonus of Elbow Strike is identical to that of your main-hand weapon, including any enhancement bonuses, feat bonuses, etc. The damage that Elbow Strike deals is 1 point of base weapon damage + CHA modifier, plus any enhancement bonuses or feat bonuses your main weapon normally adds to damage. However, you do not add your STR or CON modifiers to this damage. Elbow Strike deals lethal bludgeoning (physical, common) damage and belongs to the "Close" weapon group.

The bonus attack granted by Elbow Strike stacks with any other sources of bonus attacks (i.e. is in addition to), granted by such effects as Haste spells, and the like.

Progression:

• 11th Level: Add your STR modifier to the damage of Elbow Strike.
• 21st Level: Add your CON modifier to the damage of Elbow Strike.
• 31st Level: The base weapon damage of Elbow Strike is now the same as your weapon's base weapon dice. This means the total damage of Elbow Strike is the same as your main hand weapon damage and all modifiers/adders, but also adds your CHA modifier. (Improved from base weapon damage of 1.)
