	A simple, but good, boost to the rage ability.

	A nice little straight up boost to power, but weak enough that it's merely nice and not necessary.

	This is a nice high level boost to one's rage. Worth the feat slot, I approve.

	Very nice. One of the better things I've read today. Good, but not so good everyone has to take it. Just right.

Balance

I'd call this rogue at least. +2 to attack and +3 to damage from a single feat? At least rogue-level. That, and it can be used at will, with no negative side-effects like the barbarian's race...... --Ghostwheel 04:24, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

You need to read it. "1/day for every 2 con modifiers" is nowhere near an at will ability. Will reduce other stuff. --Franken Kesey 04:34, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

So at higher levels, 6/day? When combats last 3-5 rounds, that's still enough to go through 2-3 encounters without much of a problem. And it stacks with Barbarian rage... --Ghostwheel 05:35, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Better? Are alterations of Improved and Greater better? --Franken Kesey 06:25, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think this is a bit strong for a fighter level feat. It would be better off as a rogue level feat (especially with the improved and greater versions). --Andrew Arnott (talk, email) 17:15, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

If I took of 1 Str, and add a -2 Wis and Cha while activated (to all hotheats) - would it be more fighter level? --Franken Kesey 17:22, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Intimidate boost

It says you get that when you are hotheaded. When is that exactly? And why is that in the special line instead of the benefit line? - TarkisFlux 03:14, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

You are hotheaded when ever you rage. I found it to be an indirect benefit - thus put it in the special line.

A benefit is a benefit, especially one that you get under the exact same circumstances as the rest of the benefits you list. The special section is more reserved for meta-game rules interactions, like a feat counting as another for prereq purposes or if the feat can be selected as a fighter bonus feat (which is redundant with the later introduced Fighter tag, and was dropped from later books). Anyway, I'd move that into the regular benefit line and drop the hotheaded reference in favor of "while raging" for clarity. - TarkisFlux 16:12, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
