Viking
Source Player Core 2 pg. 220To go “a-viking” is to raid by sea, and thus vikings have spread far and wide. Some have even settled in the very communities they once raided. Vikings traditionally travel in longboats; a score of these warriors might live aboard their ship for days at a time, sailing the seas (or, as they call it, the “whale-road”) to ambush coastal communities. Once they arrive at a settlement, they charge ashore, plundering and slaying anyone foolish enough to get in their way. The ferocity of viking raids is legendary.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.

Archetype Dedication Source Player Core 2 pg. 220Archetype VikingPrerequisites trained in
Athletics
Vikings spend long periods of time at sea, only to leap from their boats at a moment's notice, charge through the surf, and take their enemies by storm. You gain the
Additional Lore general feat for Sailing Lore and Warfare Lore.
When using your land Speed, you ignore difficult terrain from shallow water, such as in bogs or on beaches. In addition, if you roll a success on an
Athletics check to
Swim, you get a critical success instead.
Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 220Archetype VikingPrerequisites Viking DedicationRequirements You're wielding a
thrown weapon.
You make a ranged
Strike with your thrown weapon,
Stride, and then Interact to draw another weapon. This Interact action doesn't trigger reactions.
Special If you are
raging and end the Stride adjacent to an enemy, that enemy is
off-guard against the next Strike you make against it with the weapon you drew before the end of your next turn.

* This version of the Reactive Shield feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the
original feat.
You can snap your shield into place just as you would take a blow, avoiding the hit at the last second. You immediately use the Raise a Shield action and gain your shield’s bonus to AC. The circumstance bonus from the shield applies to your AC when you’re determining the outcome of the triggering attack.
Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 220Archetype VikingPrerequisites Viking Dedication
From childhood, you have been exposed to traditional viking combat techniques, and you soon learned to handle axe, sword, and shield in battle. Now, you can raid proudly alongside your fellows. You gain the
Shield Block reaction. Additionally, you have familiarity with the
battle axe,
hatchet,
longsword,
shield boss,
shield spikes, and
shortsword—for the purposes of proficiency, you treat any of these weapons as simple weapons.
At 5th level, whenever you get a critical hit with one of these weapons, you get its
critical specialization effect.

Shield Block causes your shield to break or be destroyed.
You're used to your shield breaking in the middle of battle, and you're prepared to use a backup or any convenient nearby object to defend yourself. You Interact to draw a shield on your person or an unattended shield within your reach. If there is an object within your reach that could serve as an improvised shield—for example, a table or chair— you can Interact to draw it with this feat. The GM determines if something can be used as an improvised shield. Your new shield isn't raised until you use the
Raise a Shield action, as normal.

Viking* This version of the Shielded Stride feat is intended for use with an Archetype and has a different level for access than the
original feat.
When your shield is up, your enemies’ blows can’t touch you. When you have your shield raised, you can Stride to move half your Speed without triggering reactions that are triggered by your movement (such as Reactive Strikes). You can use Shielded Stride while Flying or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type.
Archetype Source Player Core 2 pg. 220Archetype VikingPrerequisites Viking DedicationRequirements You are wielding a one-handed melee weapon in one hand and a shield in another hand.
You charge into battle with shield-splintering fury. You
Leap,
Stride, or
Swim. Make two melee
Strikes during this movement, one with your one-handed melee weapon and one with your shield or a weapon attached to the shield (like a
shield boss or
shield spikes). You can make these Strikes at any points during your movement, and each must target a different enemy. Both attacks count toward your multiple attack penalty, but don't increase your penalty until you have made both attacks.

Uncommon Archetype Source Knights of Lastwall pg. 81Archetype VikingPrerequisites Viking DedicationAccess Knights of Lastwall have access to this feat.
You are one of the raiders eagerly planning to launch an assault by sea on the Whispering Tyrant's Isle of Terror. You gain the
Sudden Charge fighter feat, though it's a viking feat for you instead. As normal when gaining an additional feat from an archetype feat, gaining Sudden Charge doesn't count toward fulfilling the special requirement for Viking Dedication. If you already had Sudden Charge, you can retrain it as part of gaining this feat. When you use Sudden Charge to Strike a target in shallow water, the target is
flat-footed against your Strike, as you use the water kicked up by your passage to camouflage your angle of attack. If you have
Viking Weapon Familiarity or
Viking Weapon Specialist, add the
bastard sword and
rapier to the list of weapons in those feats.
