• You add your Adrenaline Score to your attacks and damage rolls, Strength, Dexterity and Constitution checks and saves and Wisdom (Perception) checks.

• You gain a pool of Adrenaline Dice, which are d4s, equal to half your level in this class (rounded down). All dice are lost when the surge end. These dice fuel some features you gain from this class.
