I have sweet riddle .

I am a mega Half Orc fan and kinda thinking about a tank Barbarian build . There is this one racial trait swop out Intimidate for Endurance feat in I think advanced players handbook ? Endurance is one gateway feat from Die Hard so naturally i want some Die Hard .


How would you interpret the Die Hard feat rules and play that combined with Orc Ferocity ?

Would you or could you shift his free smack attack further back to when he is down to negative Con points / fully dead which in my opinion is the only thing that sort of makes sense .

Orc Ferocity and Diehard do the same. I would suggest switching out Ferocity for Sacred Tattoo.I cannot recall exactly how but a fellow player of mine managed to have double his con mod as negative hit points during which he fought normally (if not better because I think he chosde Deathless Initiate). He had levels in Samurai (Ronin) and Barbarian. If I recall correctly he could go to -40 hitpoints.

This is dangerous and I would not advise for it but it makes so much awesome moments.

Die Hard opens up Tenacious Survivor. (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/tenacious-survivor-orc-half-orc)

Ferocious resolve (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/ferocious-resolve-orc-half-orc)gives you full blown ferocity.

Yes but different than Deathless Initiate you are still staggered which is NOT a good status condition to be in.

Just tossing it out there as a thing that exists related to the topic.

You get more mileage out of vital strike when staggered.:smalltongue:

If you wanna go down this road, second going the deathless initiate/master/zealot route. Also second getting sacred tattoo vs ferocity as diehard replaces ferocity, as mentioned above.

It will make you an incredibly hard to kill barbarian.
