The Tainted Reaver is an unfortunate lad who succumbed to mental taint ( depravity ). His description states that some Reavers are able to hide their insanity somehow, and a few can even pretend to be normal for a time, yet even the most iron willed Reaver will succumb to madness sometimes.
Here's the Reaver special quality:
Perpetual Rage (Ex): The tainted raver is constantly in a state of insane fury similar to a barbarian’s rage. In this state, the raver gains a +4 bonus on its Strength and Constitution scores, a +2 bonus on Will saves, and a -2 penalty to Armor Class. An effect that counters rage temporarily suppresses this ability.
Unlike a barbarian’s rage, a raver’s constant fury does not prevent it from taking actions that normally require reasoned thought or concentration. A tainted raver can cast spells, use skills, activate magic items, and even act calmly and rationally. It retains at least some modicum of tactical and rational thought, although its madness can cause it to act upon those thoughts in a wild and unpredictable manner
So I thought: what if a Ravager posses, from his class skills, a quality that makes him immune to mind effects? For example, a 5th level Occult Slayer with the Mind Blank skill:
Blank Thoughts: Occult slayers can create a state of mental absence within themselves, becoming immune to mind-affecting effects while they do so.
Could he use that skill to suppress the madness?
