Pack Rager

Learn how to build and play the Pack Rager in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Discover its unique abilities, level progression, and how to maximize its teamwork potential.

Alright, let's talk about the Pack Rager in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. This is a pretty cool Primalist archetype that focuses on buffing your allies while still being a solid combatant itself. Think of it as a barbarian who's also a force multiplier for the whole party. It trades some of the raw defensive power of a standard barbarian for enhanced support capabilities, especially through teamwork feats.

The core idea behind the Pack Rager is that it gets bonus teamwork feats and can share them with your party. This means you can build a character that not only hits hard but also makes everyone around them hit harder or be more effective. It's a bit of a trade-off: you'll have less Damage Reduction (DR) than a regular barbarian, and fewer Rage Powers overall, but the ability to grant teamwork feats to your allies can be incredibly potent, especially in a game where positioning and synergy are key.

There's a small note about a DR point appearing at 10th level in the character creator, but it's generally considered a bug and not very useful, so don't rely on it.

Here's a breakdown of what you get as your Pack Rager levels up. Pay close attention to when you get Feats, Rage, and especially those crucial Bonus Teamwork Feats and Raging Tactician abilities.

Bonus Teamwork Feat

Starting at 2nd level, and then every four levels after that (so at levels 2, 6, 10, 14, 18), you get to pick a Teamwork Feat. This is huge! It means you can grab feats that benefit you and your whole party. Just remember, you cannot select the Shake It Off feat. Keep that in mind when planning your build.

Raging Tactician

This is where the Pack Rager really shines as a support character. At 7th level, whenever you enter a rage, you'll grant one teamwork feat to all allies within 50 feet. This is already great, but it gets even better. At 13th level, this jumps up to granting two teamwork feats, and by 19th level, you're sharing three teamwork feats with your entire nearby party! This ability alone can completely change how your party functions, making even simple attacks much more effective for everyone.
