Barbarian: Difference between revisions

For some, their rage springs from a communion with fierce animal spirits. Others draw from a roiling reservoir of anger at a world full of pain. For every barbarian, rage is a power that fuels not just a battle frenzy but also uncanny reflexes, resilience, and feats of strength.

<br><br>

You can perform an additional Attack as part of the Attack Action.<br>

If you have multiple copies of this feature and achieve a certain level threshold, the number of Attacks you can perform increases. At 5th Level if you have one copy of the feature, you can perform one extra Attack, at 11th Level if you have two copies of the feature you can perform two extra Attacks, and at 20th Level if you have three copies of the feature you can perform three extra Attacks.

Your Speed increases by 10ft while you aren’t wearing Heavy Armor.

Your instincts become so honed, giving you heightened senses and quickened responses to danger. You have advantage on Initiative Checks and cannot be Surprised. Additionally, as part of the Bonus Action you take to enter your Rage, you can move up to half your Speed.

When you score a Critical Hit with a Melee Attack, you deal 2 times the Attack's maximum Damage when determining the extra Damage for that Attack.<br>

This increases to 3 times the max Damage at 13th Level and 4 times the max Damage at 17th Level.

You gain the ability to use your resolute well of power to improve your day to day activities. After you make a Skill Check, you can expend a Hit Die to add a d12 to the result.

If you suffer a Critical Hit while Raging, you can make a Constitution Saving Throw. If you succeed, the Attack becomes a normal hit instead.<br>

Your Rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall Unconscious or if you choose to end it.

You gain the ability to invite others into your strength. As a Bonus Action, you can touch a willing creature and expend a Hit Die. That creature gains one of the following effects you choose:<br>

*The target gains Resistance to a type of Damage of your choice for 1 minute.

*The target gains a Climbing Speed or Swimming Speed equal to your Walking Speed for 1 hour.

 

<br><br>

You embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength and Constitution Scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those Scores is now 24.

Until the start of your next turn, that creature 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.

The guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection to those you defend. If you are Raging and another creature you can see within 30ft 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.

You gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this use of Clairvoyance invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for these spells.<br>

You can cast either spell in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

Your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to retaliate. 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.

*'''Tail.''' You grow a lashing, spiny tail, which acts as a Natural Weapon dealing 1d8 Bludgeoning Damage and has the Reach property. If a creature you can see within 10ft of you hits you with an Attack Roll, you can use your Reaction to swipe your tail and roll a d8, applying a bonus to your AC equal to the number rolled.

<br><br>

<br><br>

You go into a wild frenzy while raging. As part of the Bonus Action you take to enter your Rage, and as a Bonus Action on each subsequent turn while Raging, you can make a single Melee Weapon Attack.

You slowly build up kinetic energy and heat while raging, eventually letting it out uncontrollably. While Raging, every time you hit on a Weapon Attack, or are hit by a Weapon Attack, you gain one Core Temperature Die. These dice are d4s, and increase in size as you gain Levels in this class, at 6th Level (d6), at 10th Level (d8), at 14th Level (d10), and at 18th Level (d12).<br>

Your natural heat allows you to resist the most extreme conditions. You ignore the effects of Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold. Additionally, while sleeping, you provide the warmth of a campfire to creatures within 15ft of you.

*A burst of magma leaps from your chest to a nearby creature. When you take the Attack Action, you can expend any number of Core Temperature Dice to replace that many attacks with a Ranged Weapon Attack using your Constitution that Deals Fire Damage equal to two rolls of your Core Temperature Dice + your Proficiency Bonus, this attack also has a range of 15/60ft.

<br><br>

You learn to speak, read, and write Giant. Additionally, you learn either the Druidcraft or Thaumaturgy cantrip (your choice). Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

When you enter your Rage, you can infuse one Weapon of your choice that you are holding with one of the following damage types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Thunder, or Lightning. While you wield the infused Weapon during your Rage, the Weapon's Damage Type changes to the chosen Type and deals an additional 1d6 Damage of the chosen type, the Weapon also gains the Thrown property, with range of 20/60ft. If you throw the Weapon, it reappears in your hand the instant after it hits or misses a target. The infused Weapon’s benefits are suppressed while a creature other than you wields it.<br>

In addition, your rage is a cold and patient well of power. Your Rage does not end if you take the Dodge Action, the same way it is maintained by making an Attack or taking Damage.

When a creature takes Cold Damage in this way, its speed is reduced by 10ft until the start of your next turn.<br><br>

You can choose to enter a deep state of hibernation when you take a Long Rest. While resting in this way, you’re cold to the touch and appear dead to all outward inspection and to spells used to determine your status. Noise and other distractions fail to wake you.<br>

Whenever you go into a rage, you can choose to also go into an Emotional State, choosing one of the following Emotional States from the options below, which grants you extra effects while you are raging.<br>

'''Sorrow.''' You tap into a deep sadness within you. You gain Resistance to Radiant, Cold, and Psychic Damage, as your body becomes disconnected and senseless. Whenever you take Damage that you are resistant to, you can use your Reaction to reduce the Damage that you take by 3. This Damage reduction is applied after you calculate Resistance. This damage reduction increases to 4 at 9th level and 5 at 16th level.<br>

'''Fury.''' You sharpen the mindless anger of a normal rage to focus your anger to a sharpened point. You gain Resistance to Poison, Acid, and Necrotic damage, as your fury burns corrupting forces from your body. Additionally, instead of adding your Proficiency Bonus to the Damage Rolls of Weapon Attacks using Strength or Constitution, you add twice your Proficiency Bonus to the Attack's Damage Rolls.<br>

'''Joy.''' You are overtaken by giddy excitement in the rush of battle. You gain resistance to Force, Fire, and Lightning damage, as your own energy burns as hot as magical force. Additionally, your Speed increases by 5ft. This additional Speed increases to 10ft at 9th level and to 15ft at 16th level.

<br><br>

You gain the ability to absorb the emotions from your allies and enemies alike. You learn the Calm Emotions spell and use your Constitution for your Spellcasting Ability<br>

You can cast this spell a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.<br>

When you enter an Emotional State, you can cast this spell as part of the same Bonus Action, expending one use of this ability. You can not lose Concentration on this spell due to entering a Rage. However, you can still lose Concentration by other methods, such as failing a Saving Throw to maintain Concentration or becoming Incapacitated.

You gain Proficiency with Cook's Utensils. Additionally while Raging, if you hit on a Weapon Attack Roll, you can choose to gain one level of Exhaustion, spending a massive reserve of your energy, to choose one of the following effects:

*You immediately make two additional Attacks, targeting two creatures which you haven't Attacked this turn.

<br><br>

You can replicate the effects of a 1st level Absorb Elements spell Non-Magically at will, however, you can use it with the following Damage Types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Radiant, and Thunder. The somatic components for this effect are chewing and swallowing, and you do not need a free hand to use it.

<br><br>

*'''Sea.''' You gain Resistance to Lightning Damage, and you can breathe underwater. You also gain a Swimming Speed equal to your Walking Speed, or, if you already have a Swimming Speed, it increases by 10ft or to be equal to your Walking Speed, whichever is greater.

<br><br>

You learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has the Damage Resistance you gained from your Storm Soul while the creature is in your Storm Aura.

<br><br><br>

<br><br>

Your Grisly Treasure now additionally allows you to loot trophies from Humanoids, and shades you summon are treated as being permanently under the effects of the Speak With Dead spell and perceive you as an ally, though you can still only ask 5 questions.<br>

You can use this Bonus Action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest.

As part of the Action you use to absorb the shade, and on subsequent turns as an Action, you may use any single Action, Legendary Action, or spell that was available to the creature that the spirit was in life. This state persists until you use that creature's action or use this feature again.<br>

Once you absorb a spirit, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Yours is a path that seeks attunement with the natural world, giving you a kinship with beasts. You gain the ability to cast the Beast Sense and Speak With Animals spells, but only as Rituals.

*'''Chimera.''' While Raging, you have Advantage on Saving Throws to resist spells and other magical effects and cannot be Blinded or Deafened. The spirit of the chimera makes you more resilient to hostile magic and grants you preternatural awareness.

<br><br>

*'''Chimera.''' You gain the magical perception of the Chimera. You gain the magical senses of a chimera. You can cast Detect Magic, but only as a Ritual. Additionally, you gain Proficiency in Arcana.

<br><br>

You can cast the Commune With Nature spell, but only as a Ritual. When you do so, a spiritual version of one of the animals you chose for your Totem Spirit or your Aspect of the Beast appears to you to convey the information you seek.

*'''Chimera.''' The power of the chimera nullifies nearby magic. While Raging, if you are targeted by a spell, you can use your Reaction to immediately move up to your Speed. If you end your movement within 5ft of the caster of the spell, the caster must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus, on a failure, the spell is not cast and the caster loses the Action used to case the spell, the caster also takes Bludgeoning Damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength Modifier. On a successful Save, the spell is cast and the caster takes half Damage.

*'''Elk.''' The swiftness of the elk topples your foes. While Raging, you can use a Bonus Action during your movement to pass through the space of a Large or smaller creature. That creature must succeed on a Strength Saving Throw with a DC 8 + your Strength Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus or be knocked Prone and take Bludgeoning Damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength Modifier, on a successful Save the target is not knocked Prone and takes half Damage.

<br><br><br>

Your body reacts to the presence of magic. You can cast the Detect Magic spell without using a spell slot or components. Constitution is your Spellcasting Ability for this spell. You faintly glow a color corresponding to the school of magic you detect (you choose the colors).<br>

| 1-2 || You explode, casting Fireball at 3rd Level centered on yourself, using Constitution as your Spellcasting Modifier.

| 11-12 || Your body begins emanating inky magical darkness, until your Rage ends, all creatures within 10ft of you are Blinded.

| 17-18 || At the start of each of your turns until your Rage ends, you cast the Sleep spell centered on yourself with your Current Hit Points being the number of Hit Points effected.

| 19-20 || A 30ft snowstorm centered on you whips up until your Rage ends, at the start of each of your turns, all creatures in the area must make a Constitution Saving Throw or suffer one level of Exhaustion, the area is also Heavily Obscured.

| 21-22 || Ball bearings spill out of your clothing at the start of each of your turns until your Rage ends, causing each creature standing within 60ft of you must succeed on a Dexterity Savin Throw or fall Prone. These ball bearings magically disappear at the end of your turn.

| 83-84 || You can create at infinite amount of silk rope by pulling it out of your sleeve until your Rage ends.

| 85-86 || At the start of each of your turns until your Rage ends, you cast the Minute Meteors spell centered on yourself, using Constitution for your Spellcasting Ability.

| 89-90 || You grow a Star-nosed mole’s nose until your Rage ends, granting you Tremorsense out to a range of 120ft.

| 93-94 || Until your Rage ends, you cast the Lightning Bolt spell in a random direction at the start of each of your turns using Constitution as your Spellcasting Modifier.

<br><br>

*Roll a d4. The creature regains one expended spell slot, the Level of which equals the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). Once a creature receives this benefit, that creature can’t receive it again until after a Long Rest.

<br><br>

When you are imperiled during your rage, the magic within you can lash out; immediately after you take Damage or fail a Saving Throw while Raging, you can use your Reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Wild Magic effect.

Your soul is marked for endless battle. If a spell, such as Raise Dead, has the sole effect of resurrecting you to life, the caster doesn’t need material components to cast the spell on you.

While 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 then die only if you still have 0 Hit Points.
