obrysii 10-31-05, 11:54 PM	Wolverines do, and as such, so do werewolverines.
aazan 11-01-05, 12:27 AM	Hmm, what book is wolverine in? Didn't see it in the MM1.
Borris 11-01-05, 01:24 AM	The wolverine is in the Animals chapter, on page 283. As for other monsters with rage in the Monster Manual, you can check the Badger and Dire Badger. The Sahuagin's Blood Frenzy ability also works somewhat like a barbarian's rage. And of course, there are many more monsters with rage abilities in other monster books.

aazan 11-01-05, 01:41 AM	The wolverine is in the Animals chapter, on page 283 D'oh! I loose. Thanks for the page # hehe

I Am Famine 11-01-05, 02:52 AM	Hmm, where may I find this monster? Sounds delightfully evil :devil: Possibly in a book called Bastards & Bloodlines, a Green Ronin book about hybrids. I dont own it however so I cant be sure. Wyrd Bearer didn't specify anything about their source.

JBW 11-01-05, 10:20 AM	A lot of lower level creatures can have rage by giving them a level in Barbarian. This actually works well for mid-range monsters - adding two levels of Barbarian to an Ettin made it pretty deadly. Remember that if you add adventurer class levels the monster gets better ability scores as part of the CR increase. Jay

Unfortunately I don't have the book w/ me at the moment. cheers, GinoPg 82 of the Underdark book. Personally, I like to use them as stock monsters usually led by a champion (baphitaur with 2 more levels of barbarian than the rest). Makes a good first fight for PCs who find themselves in the Underdark.

So even with the boosts, the CR wouldn't start getting too insane.
JBW 11-01-05, 01:09 PM	You might be misunderstanding me - by pretty deadly, what I meant was pleasantly satisfying. Jay
aazan 11-01-05, 11:21 PM	A lot of lower level creatures can have rage by giving them a level in Barbarian. Yeah, but I was looking for monsters that have it naturally to fit in with my plans.... evil plans.... muhahahahahaha....ha...
