## **Reckless Attack**

Starting at 2nd level, when you make your first Attack on your turn, you can decide to Attack Recklessly. Doing so gives you Advantage on all Strength based melee weapon Attack rolls that Turn, but Attack rolls against you gain Advantage until the beginning of your next Turn.

## **Danger Sense**

At 2nd level you gain Advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps or spells. You do not gain this benefit if you are Blinded, Deafened, or Incapacitated.

## **Ability Score Improvement**

When you reach various levels you can increase 1 Ability score of your choice by 2, increase 2 Ability scores of your choice by 1 or you can pick 1 Feat. You can't increase an Ability score above 20 using this feature.

Whenever you gain this feature, you can also replace one of your Skill Proficiencies from any Class with another offered by the Barbarian Class at 1st level. This change represents your Skills atrophying as you focus on others.

## **Extra Attack**

Beginning at 5th level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your Turn.

## **Fast Movement**

Starting at 5th level, your Speed increases by 10 feet whilst you aren't wearing Heavy Armour.

Additionally, if you are Surprised at the beginning of combat & aren't Incapacitated, you can act normally on your first Turn but only if you enter your Rage before doing anything else.

## **Brutal Critical**

Beginning at 9th level, you can roll 1 additional weapon damage die after determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack. You then add the result to the total.  If a weapon has more than 1 die for it's base damage (such as a Greatsword) then roll 1 of those die, not both. This increases to 2 additional dice at 13th level & 3 additional dice at 17th level.

## **Relentless Rage**

Starting at 11th level if you drop to 0 HP whilst Raging & don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution Saving Throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 HP instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short or Long rest, the DC resets to 10.

## **Persistent Rage**

Beginning at 15th level, your Rage ends early only if you fall Unconscious or you choose to end it.

## **Indomitable Might**

Beginning at 18th level if your total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

## **Primal Champion**

At 20th level you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength & Constitution scores increase by 4 & your natural maximum for those scores is now 24.

## **Path of the Dead**

### Ancestral Protectors

At 3rd level, while you're raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of spectral warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when the target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.

### Spirit Shield

Beginning at 6th level, if you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6.

When you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by 4d6 at 14th level.

### Consult the Spirits

At 10th level, you cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, it invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

After you cast either spell in this way, you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Vengeful Ancestors

At 14th level, when you use your Spirit Shield to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker takes an amount of force damage equal to the damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.

## **Path of the Battlerager**

**Restriction: Highland Dwarves & Minotaurs only.**

### Battlerager Armor

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use Spiked Armor as a weapon.

While you are wearing spiked armor and are raging, you can use a bonus action to make one melee weapon attack with your armor spikes against a target within 5 feet of you. If the attack hits, the spikes deal 1d4 piercing damage. You use your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls.

Additionally, when you use the Attack action to grapple a creature, the target takes 3 piercing damage if your grapple check succeeds.

### Reckless Abandon

Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). They vanish when your rage ends.

### Battlerager Charge

Beginning at 10th level, you can take the Dash action as a bonus action while raging.

### Spiked Retribution

Starting at 14th level, when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the attacker takes 3 piercing damage if you are raging, aren't incapacitated, and are wearing spiked armor.

## **Path of the Berserker**

This is the path of most Barbarians, learning to harness their anger in ever more intense ways as they grow to understand & accept it.

### Frenzy

At 3rd level you can go into a Frenzy when you Rage. If you do so, for the duration of your Rage you can make a single melee weapon Attack as a Bonus Action on each of your Turns after this one. When the Rage ends you gain one level of exhaustion.

### Mindless Rage

Beginning at 6th level you can't be Charmed or Frightened whilst Raging. If you are Charmed or Frightened when you enter your Rage the effect is suspended for the duration of the Rage.

### Intimidating Presence

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your Action to Frighten someone. Choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC:  8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be Frightened of you until the end of your next Turn. On subsequent Turns you can use your Action to extend the duration of this effect on the Frightened creature until the end of your next Turn. This effect ends if the creature ends its Turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you.

If the creature succeeds on its Saving Throw, you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.

### Retaliation

Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to make a melee weapon Attack against that creature.

## **Path of the Sandborn/Stormborn/Seaborn**

### Primal Aura

Starting at 3rd level, you emanate an aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.

Your aura's effect activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Your aura's effect depends on your particular birthright as below....

If your aura's effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

* **Sand:** All other creatures in your aura take 2 fire damage each. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.
* **Storm:** You can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.
* **Sea:** Each creature of your choice in your aura gains 2 temporary hit points, as watery spirits inure it to suffering. The temporary hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.

### Primal Soul

At 10th level, each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from the Primal Soul feature while the creature is in your Storm Aura.

### Primal Rage

At 14th level, the power of your birthright grows mightier.

* **Sand:** Immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes fire damage equal to half your barbarian level.
* **Storm:** When you hit a creature in your aura with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by a gust of wind.
* **Sea:** Whenever the effect of your Primal Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura. That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or its speed is halved until the start of your next turn, as though underwater.

At 3rd level, while you're raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra psychic damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level.

### Never Sleep Again

At 3rd level, if a spell has the sole effect of restoring you to life or undeath, the caster doesn't need material components to cast the spell on you.

### Fanatical Focus

Starting at 6th level, if you fail a saving throw while you're raging, you can reroll it, and you must use the new roll. You can use this ability only once per rage.

### Tortured Scream

At 10th level, as a bonus action, you unleash a battle cry infused with insane fervour. Up to ten other creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you that can hear you gain advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

### Rage Beyond Reason

Beginning at 14th level, while you're raging, having 0 hit points doesn't knock you unconscious. You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you don't die until your rage ends, and you die then only if you still have 0 hit points.
