+    * When making an attack throw against a creature, roll a DC 10 constitution check. Upon success nothing happens. Upon failure, the user enters a blind rage, targeting which ever creature they were attacking. (If the user is a barbarian they enter rage without using a rage counter.) While in a blind rage, the user is unable to do anything except attack their target. The user will exit their blind rage when: (1) the target is dead or incapacitated or (2) the target is out of view and the user cannot reasonably chase them down.
+    * The club is two handed and does 1d8 bludgeoning damage
+    * When in a rage or a blind rage the club gains the versatile effect and its damage is 1d8 bludgeoning when 1-handed and 2d8 bludgeoning when 2-handed.
+  * Combat is initiated.
