Heir of Thunder
A barbarian or bloodrager with an inherent connection with the storm, the heir of thunder can be a descendant of a thunder god or a sorcerer who never explored her natural abilities. These individuals have the ability to manifest lightning in their hands.
Class: Barbarian or Bloodrager
Level: 2nd, 4th
Replaces: See Text
Benefit: A heir of thunder gain the following class features:
Thunder Rage (Su): At 2nd level a heir of thunder gains Lesser Elemental Rage as a bonus rage power, except that she must always choose electricity. She may affect thrown weapons with this rage power and any other rage power which requires it as a prerequisite.
If a heir of thunder chooses [1] as a rage power, or any power with it as a prerequisites, she must select electricity.
If she later gains Elemental Rage or Greater Elemental Rage she must always select electricity. If she activates Lesser Elemental Rage while she has Elemental Rage active, she deals an extra 1d6 electricity damage.
This ability replaces the rage power gained at 2nd level for a barbarian and the bloodline power gained at 1st level for the bloodrager.
Bolt of Lightning (Su): In any rounds the heir of thunder activates Lesser Elemental Rage she may form a bolt of lightning in her hand as a free action, behaving as a +1 javelin. The bolt of lightning vanishes if the heir of thunder discards it, or upon hitting or missing its target or at the beginning of the heir of thunder's next turn. At 8th level and each 4 levels thereafter, the javelin's enhancement bonus on attack and damage roll improves by +1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).
Alternatively they may enhance any thrown weapon in her hand with the energy, granting the weapon the enhancement bonus on attack and roll. If the weapon was already magical, it gains the Returning property. If the magical weapon already had the Returning she may recall it to her hand as a free action instead. The weapon remains enhanced until the start of the heir of thunder’s next turn.
This ability replaces the rage power gained at 4th level for the barbarian and the bloodline power gained at 4th level for the bloodrager. This archetypes does interfere with a bloodrager’s ability to take the Primalist archetype.
