So.. i was thinking..
a mother (any mother, human or not, rich or not) as we all know (and those who don't may as well ask their mothers) react at extreme ways if they witness their child's death.
so i think to make a rule about this..
assume the mother (from now on "M") witness someone killing her child...
she enters a state of rage.. but the barbarian rage is kinda too low powered for the given situation.. so, im thinking...
+10 STR (+5 mod), +6 CoN (+3 mod), DR 20/-, SR 20 , +20 speed
(the above stack with anything else she might have)
also..
immediate proffesion with any thing she may find and use as weapon (or impr. unarmed if she has none)
Her ref save is doubled, her Fort is quadrappled and any spell that target her will is auto fail.. any spell that doesn't allow a save it now has a save against M.
While in this stage, the only way to stop M is to kill her or render her unconcsious.
This "rage effect" duration is until M is killed,get unconcsious or kill her child's murderer (whichever comes 1st). The rage effect is "on" every time she has eye contact or in immediate reach of the target.
M's alignment whatever it is will not turn to evil as result of the killing of the target, as the Gods (of family,motherhood,children etc etc) understand and demand such revenge actions.
While in this state , whatever the conditions, M ignores everything and her only purpose and focus is to kill her target.
While raging, M
cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate, and Ride), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function.
Ofc, there always gonna be "mothers" of evil nature that would trick enemies to slay their children to earn this effect... at this point the Gods will retaliate immediately by strike down the fake mother.
What do you think?
