Barbarian Feats

Key Terms

You'll see the following key terms in many barbarian class features.

Flourish: Flourish actions are techniques that require too much exertion to perform a large number in a row. You can use only 1 action with the flourish trait per turn.

Instinct: Instinct abilities require a specific instinct; you lose access if you perform acts anathema to your instinct.

Open: These maneuvers work only as your first salvo on your turn. You can use an open action only if you haven't used an action with the attack or open trait yet this turn.

Rage: You must be raging to use abilities with the rage trait, and they end automatically when you stop raging.
