Fury

Fury¶

You do not temper the heat of battle within you. You unleash it! Your experience in the wild taught you the secrets of predators, and now, like the raptor, the panther, the wolf, you channel unfettered anger into martial prowess. Primordial Chaos is your ally. Let others use finesse to clean up the wreckage left in your wake.

As a fury, you devastate foes with overwhelming might, hurl yourself and enemies around the battlefield, and grow stronger as your ferocity increases. Nature has no concept of fairness-and neither do you.

"DEATH!"

Basics¶

Starting Characteristics: You start with a Might of 2 and an Agility of 2, and you can choose one of the following arrays for your other characteristic scores:

2, −1, −1
1, 1, −1
1, 0, 0

Weak Potency: Might − 2

Average Potency: Might − 1

Strong Potency: Might

Starting Stamina at 1st Level: 21

Stamina Gained at 2nd and Higher Levels: 9

Recoveries: 10

Skills: You gain the Nature skill (see Skills in Chapter 9: Tests). Then choose any two skills from the exploration or intrigue skill groups. (Quick Build: Alertness, Jump, Nature.)

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.

Berserker Growing Ferocity Table¶

Ferocity	Benefit
2	Whenever you use the Knockback maneuver, the forced movement distance gains a bonus equal to your Might score.

Additionally, you have a bonus to stability equal to your Might score.

Nature's Knight¶

You can speak with animals and elementals. Additionally, you automatically sense the presence of animals and elementals within 10 squares of you, even if they are hidden.

When you are in a negotiation with an animal or elemental, you treat your Renown as 1 higher than usual. This stacks with the increase to your effective Renown in a negotiation with an animal of your type while in animal form (see Stormwight Kits).

Growing Ferocity Improvement¶

Your Growing Ferocity feature provides additional benefits when you have 8 or more ferocity.

Perk¶

You gain one perk of your choice.

Primordial Attunement¶

As your ferocity manifests elemental forces created by the Primordial Chaos, you are aware of how elemental power interacts with those around you. You automatically sense whether any creature within 10 squares has damage immunity or damage weakness to acid, cold, corruption, fire, lightning, poison, or sonic damage, learning whether they have immunity or weakness, the value of that immunity or weakness, and the specific damage type. Additionally, you automatically sense any source of one of those damage types within 10 squares, such as a fire or a source of elemental power.

You can manifest your ferocity directly as an elemental force created by the Primordial Chaos. As part of any strike, you can spend 1 ferocity to gain 1 surge that must be used for that strike.

5th-Level Aspect Features Table¶

Aspect	Feature
Berserker	Bounder
Reaver	Unfettered
Stormwight	Stormborn

Bounder¶

Your jump distance and height double (see Movement Types in Chapter 10: Combat). Additionally, when you fall, you reduce the effective height of your fall by a number of squares equal to your jump distance for the purpose of determining damage and whether you land prone (see Falling in Chapter 10). You are not prone after falling and landing on another creature.

Stormborn¶

You and each ally within 5 squares of you ignore negative effects from inclement weather, such as banes or environmental damage. Additionally, you can use the Blessing of Fortunate Weather feature as if you were a 1st-level conduit (see 1st-Level Domain Feature in the Conduit section).

Unfettered¶

At the start of your turn, you can end any restrained condition on you. Additionally, you have a double edge on tests made to escape being confined or imprisoned.

Debilitating Strike (9 Ferocity)¶

You need just one blow to sabotage your target.

Melee, Strike, Weapon	Main action
📏 Melee 1	🎯 One creature

Power Roll + Might:

≤11: 10 + M damage; M < WEAK, slowed (save ends)
12-16: 14 + M damage; M < AVERAGE, slowed (save ends)

My Turn! (9 Ferocity)¶

You quickly strike back at a foe.

Melee, Strike, Weapon	Free triggered
📏 Melee 1	🎯 The triggering creature

Trigger: A creature causes you to be winded or dying, or damages you while you are winded or dying.

Power Roll + Might:

≤11: 6 + M damage
12-16: 9 + M damage
17+: 13 + M damage

Effect: You can spend a Recovery.

Rebounding Storm (9 Ferocity)¶

Melee, Strike, Weapon	Main action

Power Roll + Might:

≤11: 9 damage; push 3
12-16: 14 damage; push 5
17+: 19 damage; push 7

Effect: When a target would end this forced movement by colliding with a creature or object, they take damage as usual, then are pushed the remaining distance away from the creature or object in the direction they came from. As long as forced movement remains, this effect continues if the target collides with another creature or object.

To Stone! (9 Ferocity)¶

You channel the Primordial Chaos into blows that petrify your foe... literally.

Magic, Melee, Strike, Weapon	Main action
📏 Melee 1	🎯 One creature

12-16: 13 + M damage; M < AVERAGE, slowed (save ends)
17+: 18 + M damage; M < STRONG, restrained (save ends)

Effect: While the target is slowed this way, any other effect that would make the target slowed instead makes them restrained by this ability. Additionally, a creature who fails the saving throw while restrained this way is petrified until they are given a supernatural cure or you choose to reverse the effect (no action required).

6th-Level Features¶

As a 6th-level fury, you gain the following features.

Marauder of the Primordial Chaos¶

As your connection to the power of the Primordial Chaos grows ever stronger, you automatically sense any elemental creatures or magic sources of elemental power, such as a lava pool or a lake overlapping with Quintessence, within 1 mile of you.

Additionally, you can speak with elemental creatures, and when you are in a negotiation with an elemental, you treat your Renown as 1 higher than usual. This stacks with the increase to your effective Renown provided by the Nature's Knight aspect feature (see 3rd-Level Features). When any elemental first becomes aware of you in combat, if they have P < AVERAGE, they are frightened of you (save ends).

Primordial Portal¶

As a main action, you can touch a magic source of elemental power and use it to create a portal to Quintessence. You can then use a main action to teleport yourself and any willing creatures within 10 squares of you through the portal and onto a safe island in Quintessence, or to teleport back again. You can maintain a number of portals equal to your Might score, each leading to the same safe island in Quintessence. If a portal in your network is destroyed, it is no longer part of the network. You can remove a portal from your network no matter your distance from it, including across different worlds (no action required).

(Exploring Quintessence is possible from your island, but continued safety is not guaranteed.)
