Consecrated Fury (Bloodrager/Warpriest)

Many bloodragers neither know nor understand from whence their powers come. However, the consecrated fury knows, either by choice or chance or fate that a deity has been bestowed a portion of its power to infuse his blood with divine energy. While a consecrated fury’s deity may ask for little recompense for its divine favor, it may ask that he fulfill a sacred quest or become the leader of its church’s fighting arm. In any case, the consecrated fury is a feared when upon on the battlefield. A slayer and healer, the consecrated fury serves as a warning to his god’s enemies and a symbol of hope and victory to the members of his flock. (Original Concept by Bardess)

Primary Class: Bloodrager.

Secondary Class: Warpriest.

Alignment: Any; a consecrated fury is wild and free and can have an alignment that is very different from that of his deity.

Hit Dice: d10.

Bonus Skills and Ranks: The consecrated fury may select three warpriest skills to add to his class skills in addition to the normal bloodrager class skills. The consecrated fury gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The consecrated fury is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, as well as the favored weapon of his deity, and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields). If the consecrated fury worships a deity with unarmed strike as its favored weapon, he gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A consecrated fury can cast bloodrager spells while wearing light armor or medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. This does not affect the arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. Like other arcane spellcasters, a consecrated fury wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has somatic components.

Blessed Bloodline: The granted powers from the consecrated fury’s deity interfere with the natural powers coming from his bloodline. At 1st level, a consecrated fury chooses one bloodline and one blessing granted from his patron deity. The chosen blessing must be related to his bloodline, as shown on the following table.

The consecrated fury can choose to replace either his bloodline power gained at 1st, 4th, or 8th level with his minor blessing, and either his bloodline power gained at 12th or 16th level with his major blessing. A consecrated fury can use his blessings while in bloodrage, and their effect lasts for the bloodrage’s duration. This modifies bloodline.

Sacred Bloodrage (Su): The mix of arcane and divine power in the consecrated fury’s blood leaves him more vulnerable to distractions and mind–affecting attacks. AS such, the consecrated fury does not gain the normal +2 morale bonus on all Will saving throws. At 11th level, when the consecrated fury gains his greater bloodrage ability, he gains only a +1 bonus to Will saving throws. At 20th level, when the consecrated fury gains his aspect of fury ability, this bonus increases to +2. This modifies bloodrage.

Focus Weapon: At 3rd level, a consecrated fury gains the warpriest’s focus weapon ability. This ability replaces blood sanctuary.

Sacred Weapon (Su): At 4th level, the weapons wielded by a consecrated fury are charged with the power of his blessed blood. In addition to the favored weapon of his deity, the consecrated fury can designate a weapon as a sacred weapon by selecting that weapon with the Weapon Focus feat; if he has multiple Weapon Focus feats, this ability applies to all of them. The consecrated fury can enhance one of his sacred weapons with divine power as a swift action. This power grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every 4 levels beyond 4th, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).

These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the weapon might have, to a maximum of +5. The consecrated fury can enhance a weapon with any of the following weapon special abilities: bane (see table below), blood–hunting (see table below), conductive, defending, furious, invigorating. In addition, if the consecrated fury is chaotic, he can add anarchic. If he is evil, he can add unholy. If he is good, he can add holy. If he is lawful, he can add axiomatic. If he is true neutral, he can add thundering. 

In addition, the consecrated fury can add the following special weapon abilities to his sacred weapon according to his bloodline: Aberrant (menacing), Abyssal (planar), Arcane (spell storing), Black Blood (ominous), Celestial (merciful), Destined (called), Draconic (corrosive, flaming, frost, shock), Elemental (corrosive, flaming, frost, shock), Fey (glamered), Infernal (planar), Kyton (cruel), Undead (greyflame).

If the consecrated fury adds the bane or blood-hunting special weapon ability to his sacred weapon, the weapon functions against one of the following creature types or bloodlines, as shown on the following table.

A consecrated fury does not deal the warpriest’s sacred weapon extra damage. This ability otherwise functions as the warpriest’s sacred weapon ability and replaces eschew materials and bloodline spells.

Spellcasting: The consecrated fury adds the following warpriest spells to his spell list at the indicated spell levels: 1st level–ant haul, bane, bleed, bless, compel hostility, cure light wounds, detect magic, divine favor, doom, inflict light wounds, liberating command, mighty fist of the earth, moment of greatness, read magic, reinforce armaments, remove fear, resistance, shield of faith, shield of fortification, stalwart resolve, stunning barrier, swallow your fear, weapons against evil; 2nd level–align weapon, ancestral communion, bestow weapon proficiency, blessing of courage and life, blood of the martyr, death knell, effortless armor, ghostbane dirge, grace, instant armor, instrument of agony, life shield, martyr’s bargain, sacred bond, spiritual weapon, surmount affliction; 3rd level–archon’s aura, aura of cannibalism, badger’s ferocity, battle trance, black sword of war, blood rage, cure moderate wounds, deadly juggernaut, inflict moderate wounds, magic vestment, magic weapon, greater, prayer, shield of fortification, greater, storm of blades, stunning barrier, greater, summon ancestral guardian, wrathful mantle; 4th level–ancestral gift, ancestral memory, aura of doom, blade barrier, boneshatter, crusader’s edge, cure serious wounds, death ward, deathless, disrupting weapon, divine power, forceful strike, freedom of movement, holy smite, inflict serious wounds, persistent vigor, righteous might, spell immunity, wrathful weapon. A consecrated fury otherwise learns and casts spells of as a bloodrager equal to his consecrated fury level. He also gains bonus spells if he has a high Charisma score.

Bloodline Feats: This is exactly like the bloodrager ability of the same name, except that the consecrated fury can also select a combat feat that he meets the requirements in place of a bloodline feat. For the purposes of qualifying these feats, the consecrated fury treats his consecrated fury level as his fighter level.

Sacred Armor (Su): At 7th level, a consecrated fury gains the warpriest’s sacred armor ability. A consecrated fury can also adds the new blooded special armor ability to his armor. Adding this property consumes sacred armor bonus as a +3 special armor ability. The blooded property functions like an amulet of the blooded, granting him the benefits of the amulet according to his bloodline. A consecrated fury that has the Arcane bloodline gains the Accursed bloodline benefits, while a consecrated fury of the Kyton bloodline gains the benefits of the Infernal bloodline. This ability replaces damage reduction.

Aspect of Fury (Su): At 20th level, when a consecrated fury enters a bloodrage, the morale bonus to his Strength and Constitution increases to +8, and the morale bonus on his Will saves increases to +2 (see Sacred Bloodrage). Furthermore, the spell he can apply to himself at the beginning of a bloodrage due to the greater bloodrage class feature is no longer limited to spells of 2nd level or lower. Lastly, during a bloodrage, the consecrated fury gains DR 10/— and can move at his full normal speed regardless of the armor he is wearing or his encumbrance. This replaces mighty bloodrage.
