	Rage	Activate this barbarian ability to enter a bloodthirsty frenzy, granting you a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +2 Morale bonus to Will saves, and a -2 penalty to AC. When the rage ends, however, you will lose the hit points granted to you by increased Constitution and become fatigued. Your rage will last for 30 seconds plus an additional amount of time based on your Constitution. You can prematurely end your rage by using the Dismiss Rage feat.
	Sunder	Using this attack, you may reduce the target's Armor Class by 4 for a short time. Some creatures may be immune to the sunder effect. A successful Fortitude save negates this effect. (DC 10 + Str mod)
