Homebrew Bane: Aggravated

But we are comparing apples to oranges here:

  • Knockdown can always be resisted reliably at the cost of half a move action and thus might be a small hindrance at best to some while having near to no impact on others.

  • Enrage (or however you want to name your bane) is resisted as a minor action (good choice) but with a chance failing, which can lead to some characters being taken out of combat completely (pacifists, boon-focused, and insubstantial characters)

So the difference in variance and the potential upside is massive, so I don’t think that comparison is all that helpful.

But you could easily throw yourself onto the ground to become a smaller target vs. ranged attacks, giving you the same effects as Knockdown. This can’t be done as easily with your infuriate, mechanically and narratively, as it would probably require a boon counterpart to emulate that effect.
