Additionally, your Hunter's Bane feature now also applies to aberrations and constructs. 

Boiling Blood

In order to do this, you must not have taken any damage within the last minute. 

Battle Trance

Beginning at 7th level, you are able to briefly enter a battle trance to focus your power at the cost of expending it all at once.
