====== Rage ======

**Pool**:  Combat\\
**Tier**:  Initiate\\
**Usage**:  Action, 1 second\\

----

There is a deep well of anger within you, threatening to break out.  And when you are provoked, your rage grows swiftly and without warning.

When in a battle, you may take a one-second action to Fly Into A Rage.  You cannot enter a Rage if you are [[nexusframe:conditions:Fatigued]] or [[nexusframe:conditions:Exhausted]].  When you Fly Into A Rage, you gain [[nexusframe:rules:damage#Surge]] equal to five times your level.  While in the Rage, you gain the following benefits:
  * The base damage for any melee or unarmed attacks increases by +1;
  * You reduce the damage multiplier for any successful [[nexusframe:actions:Hurl]], [[nexusframe:actions:Pummel]] or [[nexusframe:actions:Strike]] made against you by one step;
  * You gain favour on Athletics skill checks;
  * You ignore the [[nexusframe:conditions:Winded]] status condition.

Your Rage persists until the end of combat, until you become [[nexusframe:conditions:Asleep]], [[nexusframe:conditions:Fallen]] or [[nexusframe:conditions:Unconscious]], or until you spend a six-second action to Come Down From The Rage.  When your Rage ends, you lose any Surge that you have remaining, and you become [[nexusframe:conditions:Winded]].

If, at the end of your turn, you have neither made attacks nor been attacked since your previous turn, your Rage ends early.
