Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Bear warriors are proficient with all simple and martial weapons. They do not gain any additional proficiency with armor or shields.

Bear Form (Sp): A bear warrior can transform into a bear while in a rage, fury, or ki frenzy. At 1st level, a bear warrior can assume the form of a black bear for the entire duration of one of his rages each day. This ability is similar to Track feat. Bear warriors tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.

Bear warriors can identify familiar odors just as normal humans do familiar sights. Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail.

False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Wilderness Lore DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.

Extra Raging: At 5th level, and again at 10th level, the number of times per day that a bear warrior can enter a state of rage, fury, or ki frenzy increases by one. For example, a 7th-level barbarian/5th-level bear warrior can rage three times per day, while a 7th-level barbarian/10th-level bear warrior can rage four times per day. If that same character were to advance one barbarian level, he could rage five times per day.
