## Racial Power: Lethal
Once per battle, reroll a melee attack and use
the roll you prefer as the result.

## Class Feature: Barbarian Rage
Once per day, use a quick action to start raging;
a rage lasts until the end of battle (or around
five minutes, if you decide to rage out
of combat for dramatic roleplaying effect!).
While raging, you roll 2d20 to hit with your
barbarian melee and thrown weapon attacks instead
of 1d20. Use the higher roll for the attack. If
you roll a natural 11+ with both dice and your
highest attack roll is a hit, the attack is a
critical hit!
Recharge 16+: After a battle in which you rage,
roll a d20 and add your Constitution modifier;
on a 16+, you can use Barbarian Rage again
later in the day

## Talents:
Building Frenzy
 - One battle per day, as a free action after
   you have missed with an attack, deal +1d4
   damage with your melee attacks until the end
   of the battle. Deal +1d4 additional damage
   each time one of your attacks misses, up to
   a maximum of +4d4 damage.
Strongheart
 - Your recovery dice are d12s instead of d10s
   like other barbarians.
Whirlwind
 - You can make a Whirlwind attack as the first
   action of your turn when you are engaged by
   two or more enemies. You take a –4 penalty to
   your AC and PD until the start of your next
   turn. Then roll a separate melee attack against
   each enemy you are engaged with. You deal no
   miss damage with these attacks.

## Feats:
 - Adventurer Feat: Bonus damage dice for Building
   Frenzy are now d6s.
 - Adventurer Feat: You now deal normal miss damage
   with missed Whirlwind attacks.

## Equipment:
 - Wolf hide and leather armor (light armor)
 - Dwarven warhammer (heavy 2h, 1d10)
 - Tooth of the Orc Lord
 - Standard traveling gear

## Appearance:
Marduk looks worn and maybe 10 years older than
his actual age should be. He has multiple
scars around his body, including a massive one
on his chest from fighting the Orc Lord. He has
almost no hair on his head. Only a few hairs
where his eyebrows should be. His eye color is
black. His skin is a greenish grey, and his face
is thoroughly unattractive. You definitely
wouldn't want to meet this guy in a dark alley,
or anywhere at all really.

## History:
Marduk was born around 30 years ago in a half-orc
tribe at the northern edge of civilization. This
tribe is among a number which are kept fed and
armed by the Empire in return for them fighting
the forces of the dreaded Orc Lord, whose
mindless destruction is feared would destroy all
of civilization.
    When Marduk was around 18, his father died in
battle with the orcs, and passed on to him a
well-crafted dwarven warhammer, unsusual as a
weapon for the unsophisticated tribe. Marduk soon
found use for it, as he himself joined the battle
against the orcs.
    Marduk showed great skill in combat, and 5 years
later was made leader of his tribe for his combat
abilities, which is the standard way to pick leaders
among this tribe. He fought the orc hordes for another
7 years, and though he lacked the intelligence and
charisma to be a great leader, his fighting prowess
inspired his army to fight stronger than ever before.
After those 7 years, Marduk finally found himself
facing the dreaded Orc Lord himself. And though the
Orc Lord was stronger than any opponent he had fought
before, Marduk managed to slay him there.
    Though a new Orc Lord was chosen, the loss of this
one had been a terrible blow for the orc hordes. The
Empire rejoiced as it felt the threat from the north
had been stilled, at least for a little while.
    For his heroic actions, Marduk gained minor
celebrity status amongst soldiers of the Empire, was
nicknamed Virilitas Boreas, and was even given a mansion
within the rich district of Axis, the Imperial capital.
Though it turned out not to be so great for the
barbarian Marduk. He could not get used to the urban
lifestyle at Axis, and spent his days and nights at
inns, wasting his fortune on alcohol. His mansion fell
into disarray, and barfights got him into trouble with
the law.
   Things seemed to get very bad, until he got an
invitation for a mission from Shadow Port. Apparently,
his minor celebrity status had given some "guild" over
there the idea that he could do a task for them. They
said they would pay handsomely. With nothing to lose,
Marduk used the last of his money to take a ship to
Shadow Port. He was to find this guild, receive his
fortune, and perhaps again feel the thrill of battle.
