Roar of the Crowd (Ex)

At 5th level, the roar of applause spurs a pit fighter on to greater acts of violence and brutality. When fighting a performance combat, the pit fighter can enter a rage (as per the barbarian class ability) during any round in which the crowd’s attitude toward him is helpful. This is in addition to the normal bonuses the crowd’s attitude provides. The pit fighter can maintain his rage each round so long as the crowd’s attitude toward him remains helpful. If the crowd’s attitude ever drops below helpful, the pit fighter’s rage immediately ends (though if he possesses the rage ability from another class, he may expend a round of his rage to continue the effect as normal for that class feature). If, after using this ability, the crowd’s attitude ever drops to unfriendly or hostile, the pit fighter becomes fatigued. He remains fatigued for as long as the crowd remains unfriendly or hostile or until the end of the combat, whichever comes first.
