Notes

• This variant of  Rage does not receive a damage increase at level 9.
• This is the only Wildheart Rage variant that receives bonus damage on weapon attacks using an ability score other than Strength. The other variants only work with Strength-based attacks (i.e. not finesse weapons using Dexterity).
• The damage resistance component does not get impeded by wearing heavy armour unlike all other variants.
