Vicious Slice (Ex)

Requires: Barbarian 1, Urban Mien
Benefit: As a free action, you can spend 2 points of fury to activate Vicious Slice. The next attack you make before the start of your next turn, if it hits, inflicts a Bleed on your target, equal to your CHA modifier, in addition to dealing normal damage. Note that bleeds do not stack; only the largest bleed is applied to a target, replacing any smaller ones which might be present.
Vicious Slice cannot be activated in the same round as any other rage powers capable of inflicting a status condition, unless it inflicts status conditions from the same array (i.e. Bruised, Bleed or Ruptured).

Progression:

  • 11th Level: For each additional point of fury you spend, you can add +1 to the bleed damage inflicted by Vicious Slice. This fury must be spent at the same time that Vicious Slice is activated, but it applies to all attacks you make before the start of your next turn which are augmented by Vicious Slice.
  • 21st Level: Attacks augmented by Vicious Slice now inflict Ruptured instead of Bleed, equal to your CHA modifier, in addition to dealing normal damage. Additional fury points spent to increase the Bleed damage (the 10th level ability) instead increase the Ruptured damage.
  • 31st Level: The cost to activate Vicious Slice is reduced to 1 point of fury. (Reduced from 2 points of fury.)
