^ Feature ^ Level(s) ^ Description ^
| Blind-Fight | 1 | Reduces the penalties of fighting unseen opponents and grants a reroll against concealment. Use: Automatic. |

| Rage | 1, 4, 8 | Grants daily uses of barbarian-style rage. The current number of uses is shown in the level progression. Use: Selected. |
| Swing Blindly | 2 | While raging, grants an additional +4 Strength but increases the rage Armor Class penalty from –2 to –4. Use: Automatic. |
| Ritual Scarring | 3 | Improves natural armor by +1 at level 3 and by another +1 every three class levels thereafter. Use: Automatic. |
