1st-Level Features¶
As a 1st-level fury, you gain the following features.
Primordial Aspect¶
You are a product of customs older than warfare, older than civilization, older than most of the world. You have undergone a rite of passage that revealed the building blocks of the timescape-the Primordial Chaos-and that left an aspect of that chaos inside you. You choose a primordial aspect from the following options, each of which grants you a skill. (Quick Build: Berserker.)
- Berserker: You channel your ferocity into physical might, acting as a living version of the forces that shape the world. You have the Lift skill.
- Reaver: You channel your ferocity into instinct and cunning, challenging the order of civilization. You have the Hide skill.
- Stormwight: You channel your ferocity into primordial storms and can take on the form of an animal or an animal hybrid form. You have the Track skill.
Your primordial aspect is your subclass, and your choice of aspect determines many of the features you'll gain as you gain new levels.
Ferocity¶
Within the heat of battle, your determination and anger grow, fueling a Heroic Resource called ferocity.
Where's My Maneuver?
Since most other classes get a bespoke maneuver, you might find yourself asking, "Where's the special maneuver for the fury?" The answer is that the class doesn't need its own maneuver, because most of the time, the fantasy of the fury has them using the Grab or Knockback maneuvers in combat. They're really good at those maneuvers too, so it doesn't make sense to give you another option that you'll rarely or never use.

Ferocity in Combat¶
At the start of a combat encounter or some other stressful situation tracked in combat rounds (as determined by the Director), you gain ferocity equal to your Victories. At the start of each of your turns during combat, you gain 1d3 ferocity.
Additionally, the first time each combat round that you take damage, you gain 1 ferocity. The first time you become winded or are dying in an encounter, you gain 1d3 ferocity.
You lose any remaining ferocity at the end of the encounter.
Ferocity Outside of Combat¶
Though you can't gain ferocity outside of combat, you can use your heroic abilities and effects that cost ferocity without spending it. Whenever you use an ability or effect outside of combat that costs ferocity, you can't use that same ability or effect outside of combat again until you earn 1 or more Victories or finish a respite.
When you use an ability outside of combat that lets you spend unlimited ferocity on its effect, such as To the Uttermost End, you can use it as if you had spent an amount of ferocity equal to your Victories.
Growing Ferocity¶
You gain certain benefits in combat based on the amount of ferocity you have (see 1st-Level Aspect Features for details). These benefits last until the end of your turn, even if a benefit would become unavailable to you because of the amount of ferocity you spend during your turn.
Some Growing Ferocity benefits can be applied only if you are a specific level or higher, with the level of those benefits noted in the various Growing Ferocity tables in this section.
