Prerequisites: Level 5+, Barbarian

Instantaneous Rage
You can unleash your fury the moment danger strikes, tapping into your rage instinctively.
Prerequisites: Barbarian
Benefits: While you are not raging, if a creature you can see targets you with an attack or forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to enter a rage. If the trigger is an attack, you may choose to do this before the attack is resolved.
You can't have already entered a rage this turn. You must still follow all normal rules for entering a rage, including not wearing heavy armor and having at least one use of rage remaining.

A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
