Type	Reaver
Effect type	Sustained
Upkeep	60
Fatigue	5%
Cooldown	60s
Requires	Level 16
Description	Driven by pain, the reaver gains larger bonuses to damage whenever health decreases. Because this mode also incurs a penalty to health regeneration, the reaver flirts with death the longer the frenzy persists.

Blood Frenzy is a warrior talent from the Reaver specialization in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

• Adds +1 damage for every 10% of health below the reaver's maximum health, i.e. from +1 damage when at 90% of maximum health to +9 damage when at 10%.
• -5 health regeneration (both combat and exploration).
• Conjuration time: 3s.

Notes

• Upkeep is in stamina.
• Blood Frenzy's health regeneration penalty can be mitigated with Resilience's (Berserker) bonus which gives +1.5/+3 health regeneration, or with gear such as the Cailan's armor set (+5 health regeneration).
• Unlike mana regeneration rate, health regeneration rate is capped below at 0, so characters do not lose health over time when they have negative health regeneration rate.
