Howling Charge (Rage Power)

Howling Charge (Su)

Requires: Barbarian 1, Feral Mien

Benefit: Once per round as part of a charge action, you can spend 2 points of fury to augment your next charge attack with a thunderous shout that pierces your enemies. If you make a charge attack before the start of your next turn, and it hits your target, in addition to dealing your normal charge damage, you also deal your CHA modifier as sonic damage to the target and all creatures adjacent to the target. Affected enemies other than the target of your charge may make a Fortitude save, DC of 10 + half your Barbarian level + CON modifier for half damage. The charge target does not get a save against this damage. If the charge attack misses, or you are unable to perform a charge before the start of your next turn, the fury points spent to activate this power are lost.

Howling Charge cannot be activated in the same charge attack action as another rage power which is activated on a charge attack action.

Progression:

• 11th Level: Howling Charge now inflicts sonic damage on all creatures within 10 feet of the target creature's space. (Note that this is 10 feet out from each edge of the creature, if it is greater than size medium.)
• 21st Level: The sonic damage from Howling Charge only affects enemy creatures. Your friends have learned to ignore you when you get like this.
• 31st Level: For each additional point of fury you spend, you can add an additional +3 points of sonic damage to the damage dealt by Howling Charge, instead of only +1 sonic damage.
