Rage Forms (Ex)
At 1st level, a meowsterful rager must select the meowsterful rage form.
Meowsterful Rage (Ex)
When a meowsterful rager enters a rage, she channels her frustration and hatred towards larger creatures. While in a rage, she gains a +3 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against creatures bigger than herself. Against creatures bigger than herself, the meowsterful rager’s critical multiplier for damage increases by 1 (a ×2 multiplier becomes ×3, a ×3 multiplier becomes ×4, and a ×4 multiplier becomes ×5). This critical multiplier increase does not stack with other effects which increase critical multipliers.
Greater Meowsterful Rage (Ex): At 11th level, a meowsterful rager’s bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against larger creatures increases to +4.
Mighty Meowsterful Rage (Ex): At 20th level, a meowsterful rager’s bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against larger creatures increases to +5.
This ability replaces the rage form gained at 1st level.
Combat Leverage (Ex)
At 3rd level, a meowsterful rager learns to leverage her small weight to great effect. She may make combat maneuvers on any larger creature, regardless of the size difference between her and the target. She gains a +1 bonus on Acrobatics, Escape Artist, and all combat maneuver attempts against creatures at least one size category larger than herself. This bonus increases by 1 for every three berserker levels after 3rd.
This ability replaces danger sense.
Ankle Tangler (Ex)
At 4th level, a meowsterful rager can move through the space of a creature two size categories larger than herself without needing to attempt an Acrobatics check. She would still need to succeed at Acrobatics checks to avoid attacks of opportunity provoked by leaving a threatened space; this ability covers only the ability to move. Additionally, whenever the meowsterful rager scores a critical hit on a larger foe with a melee attack, she can choose to make a trip combat maneuver as a swift action.
This ability replaces destructive.
Inside Arm’s Reach (Ex)
At 8th level, a meowsterful rager does not provoke attacks of opportunity from a creature when in the creature’s space.
This ability replaces bloodlust.
