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.
TripUsing this attack, you may trip the target, rendering it prone. Some creatures may be immune to this effect. A successful Balance check negates this effect. (DC 10 + Str mod)

IntimidateAllows you to intimidate certain NPCs or taunt and draw the attention of monsters away from other members of your party.

If you are using a weapon and a shield, this bonus to threat generation is increased.\n\nDetails: The bonus/penalty you gain is 4 for each size category difference between you and your target.
