Barbarian
A tall human tribesman strides through a blizzard, draped in fur and hefting his axe. He laughs as he charges toward the frost giant who dared poach his people’s elk herd.
A hobgoblin snarls at the latest challenger to her authority over their savage tribe, ready to break his neck with her bare hands as she did to the last six rivals.
Frothing at the mouth, a dwarf slams his helmet into the face of his foe, then turns to drive his armored elbow into the gut of another.
These barbarians, different as they might be, are defined by their rage: unbridled, unquenchable, and unthinking fury. More than a mere emotion, their anger is the ferocity of a cornered predator, the unrelenting assault of a storm, the churning turmoil of the sea.
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.

If you suffer a critical hit while you’re raging, you can make a Constitution Saving Throw. If you succeed, the attack becomes a normal hit instead.
This Constitution Saving Throw has a DC of 10 which increases by 5 each time you use this feature. When you finish a long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Primal Champion
At 20th level, you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
Primal Paths
Path of Ancestral Guardians
Some barbarians hail from cultures that revere their ancestors. These tribes teach that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and calls on these guardian spirits for aid.
Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their tribes and their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestors’ deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsome rivals.
Ancestral Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, causing them to surround and harass that creature.
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.
Spirit Shield
Beginning at 6th level, 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 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 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.
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.
Vengeful Ancestors
At 14th level, 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.
Path of Battleragers
Barbarians who embody pure chaos and rage often become Battlerager barbarians. They use special spiked armor to grab their foes in combat and harm them by being in pure proximity to you.
Imbue Spikes
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to transform a set of medium armor into Spike Armor. When you finish a long rest you can touch a set of medium armor, it magically grows spikes and becomes Spike Armor, which has an AC of 14 + Dexterity Modifier (max 2).
If the set of medium armor was magical in any way, that benefit is transferred to your Spike Armor.
Battlerager Armor
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to use spiked armor as a weapon.
While you are wearing spiked armor, you gain spikes which deals 1d8 Piercing Damage and can be used as an unarmed attack.
Grappling Spikes
Also at 3rd level, you learn better how to use your spikes to grapple creatures. While raging, if you grapple a creature, you deal Piercing Damage to the target equal to your Strength Modifier. At the start of each of the creature's turns, it takes this Damage again if it is still grappled and you are still raging.
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 if any of them are left when your rage ends.
Battlerager Charge
Also at 6th level, your pure raging chaos quickens your stride. Your speed increases by 10ft, and you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.
Vice Grip
At 10th level, you become a natural at grappling creatures. Whenever you take the Attack Action, you can also attempt to grapple a creature as part of that action.
Also, you are not Slowed while dragging a grappled creature, and you can grapple creatures up to two sizes larger then you.
Spiked Retribution
At 14th level, when a creature enters a space within 5ft of you, or a creature within 5ft of you takes an action or bonus action, you can cause that creature to take Piercing Damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
Path of Beasts
Barbarians who walk the Path of the Beast draw their rage from a bestial spark burning within their souls. That beast bursts forth in the throes of rage, physically transforming the barbarian. These barbarians often come from the Wild-Plains or are full of creation energy which they use for their transformations.
Form of the Beast
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this subclass, when you enter your rage, you can transform, revealing the bestial power within you. Until the rage ends, you manifest a natural weapon. It counts as a simple melee weapon for you, and you add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls when you attack with it, as normal. You choose the weapon’s form each time you rage:
- Bite. Your mouth transforms into a bestial muzzle or great mandibles. It deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you damage a creature with this bite, you regain a number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, provided you have less than half your hit points when you hit.
- Claws. Each of your hands transforms into a claw, which you can use as a weapon if it’s empty. It deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you attack with a claw using the Attack action, you can make one additional claw attack as part of the same action.
- Tail. You grow a lashing, spiny tail, which deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit and has the reach property. If a creature you can see within 10 feet 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, potentially causing the attack to miss you.
Bestial Soul
At 6th level, the feral power within you increases, causing the natural weapons of your Form of the Beast to count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. You can also alter your form to help you adapt to your surroundings. When you finish a long rest, choose one of the following benefits, which lasts until you finish your next or long rest:
- Climbing. You gain a Climbing Speed equal to your Walking Speed, and you can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
- Jumping. When you jump, you can make a Strength (Athletics) check and extend your jump by a number of feet equal to the check’s total. You can make this special check only once per turn.
- Swimming. You gain a Swimming Speed equal to your Walking speed, and you can breathe underwater.
Infectious Fury
At 10th level, when you hit a creature with your natural weapons while you are raging, the beast within you can curse your target with rabid fury. The target must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC equal to 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or suffer one of the following effects (your choice):
- The target must use its reaction to make a melee attack against another creature of your choice that you can see.
- The target takes 2d12 Psychic Damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Call the Hunt
At 14th level, the beast within you grows so powerful that you can spread its ferocity to others and gain resilience from them joining your hunt. When you enter your rage, you can choose a number of other willing creatures you can see within 30 feet of you equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of one creature). You gain 5 temporary hit points for each creature that accepts this feature. Until the rage ends, the chosen creatures can each use the following benefit once on each of their turns: when the creature hits a target with an attack roll and deals damage to it, the creature can roll a d6 and gain a bonus to the damage equal to the number rolled.
Path of Berserkers
For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end—that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker’s rage, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.
Frenzy
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you go into a frenzy while raging. While raging, you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one.
Mindless Rage
Beginning at 6th level, you can’t be charmed or frightened while 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 with your menacing presence. When you do so, 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 equal to 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 Crucibles
Some Barbarians bottle up their rage, causing physical heat to boil inside of them, eventually overheating and exploding out in pure fury. These hot-headed ragers walk the Path of Crucibles
Thermal Core
Starting when you chose this path at 3rd level, you slowly build up kinetic energy and heat while raging, eventually letting it out uncontrollably. During your rage, every time you hit on a weapon attack roll, and you are hit by a weapon attack roll, 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).
You can hold a number of Core Temperature Dice equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
When you would gain a Core Temperature Dice while at your maximum held, you instead let out a burst of heat, losing all of your stored Core Temperature Dice.
When this occurs, all other creatures within 30ft must make a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution Modifier or take Fire Damage equal to a combined roll of the Core Temperature Dice you lost, or half as much on a successful Save.
Burning Heart
Also at 3rd level, 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.
Blazing Core
Beginning at 6th level, your inner forge allows you to provide light, and protection to your allies, warding them from the bitter frost of death.
Your body becomes constantly wreathed in harmless flames. These flames give off bright light and a comfortable level of warmth within a certain radius of you. As an action you can set the distance of this radius, the minimum being 0ft, and the maximum being 30ft. You also shed dim light for an additional number of feet equal to this radius.
Molten Core
At 10th level, you learn to control your inner fire. You gain the following ways to spend your Core Temperature Dice:
- When you hit on a weapon attack, you can expend a Core Temperature Dice to deal additional Fire damage to the target equal to two rolls of your Core Temperature Dice.
- You use your stored kinetic energy to leap through fire, as a Bonus Action you can expend one of your Core Temperature Dice to teleport a number of feat equal to 5 times your Proficiency Bonus. When you do so, you deal fire damage equal to your Proficiency to all creatures within 5ft of you.
- A burst of magma leaps from your chest to a nearby creature. When you take the attack actions, you can expend any number of Core Temperature Dice to replace that number of attacks with a Ranged Weapon Attack Roll using your Constitution that Deals Fire Damage equal to two rolls of your Core Temperature Dice and has a range of 15/60ft, you apply your Rage Damage to these attacks.
Blazing Mastery
Beginning at 14th level, your inner well of heat grows deeper. You can now hold a number of Core Temperature Dice equal to 2 times your Proficiency Bonus.
Additionally, you gain your heat more quickly, now, when you hit on a Weapon Attack or are hit with a Weapon Attack, you gain 2 Core Temperature Dice instead of 1, and you gain 1 Core Temperature Dice at the start of your turn.
Finally, as an Action on your turn you can expend all of your Core Temperature Dice to unleash a controlled burst of heat.
All creatures of you choice within 30ft of you must make a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution Modifier or take Fire Damage equal to a combined roll of the Core Temperature Dice you expended, or half as much on a successful Save.
Path of Giants
Barbarians who walk the Path of Giants draw strength from the primal forces that are the Giants and their elemental ilk. Their rages surge with elemental power and cause these barbarians to grow in size, transforming them into avatars of primordial might. During their rage, a barbarian may take after a legendary storm giant, hair turning white and eyes crackling with lightning. Others adopt the monstrous features of apocalyptic titans, rending the world around them so that it may be made anew.
Giant Power
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you learn to speak, read, and write Giant or one other language of your choice if you already know Giant. Additionally, you learn either the Druidcraft or Thaumaturgy cantrip (your choice). Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Giant’s Havoc
Also at 3rd level, your rages pull strength from the primal might of giants, transforming you into a hulking force of destruction. While raging, you gain the following benefits:
- When you make a successful ranged attack with a thrown weapon using Strength, you can add your Rage Damage bonus to the attack’s damage roll.
- Your reach increases by 5 feet, and if you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with anything you are wearing. If there isn’t enough room for you to become Large, your size doesn’t change.
Elemental Cleaver
At 6th level, your bond with the elemental might of giants and their ilk grows, and you learn to infuse weapons with primordial energy.
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, it deals an extra 1d6 Damage of the chosen type when it hits, and it gains the Thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. 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.
While raging and holding the infused weapon, you can use a bonus action to change the infused weapon’s current damage type to a different one from the above damage types, you can also use a bonus action to change the infused weapon.
Mighty Impel
At 10th level, your connection to giant strength now allows you to hurl both allies and enemies on the battlefield. As a bonus action while raging, you can choose one Medium or smaller creature within your reach and move it to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of yourself. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) to avoid the effect.
If, at the end of this movement, the thrown creature isn’t on a surface or liquid that can support it, the creature falls, taking damage as normal and landing prone.
Demiurgic Colossus
At 14th level, the primordial power of your rage intensifies. When you rage, your reach now increases by 10 feet, your size can increase to Huge, and you can now use your Mighty Impel to move creatures that are Large or smaller. In addition, the extra damage dealt by your Elemental Cleaver feature increases to 2d6.
Path of Glaciers
Born from the frigid and daunting realm of the Northern Continent of the Wild-Plains, barbarians who follow the Path of Glaciers have learned to harbor the resolute stillness, patience, and unwavering determination and destruction of the icy landscape. These warriors transform their bodies into powerful moving bunkers that are as difficult to take down as they are to escape from.
Barbarians that follow this path are often trained hunters who enjoy the patient stalking of prey. They thrive on the peril they impose on their fleeing targets, and take special pride in their slow-and-steady approach.
Permafrost
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, your skin becomes icy and tough to the touch. You gain resistance to cold damage, and while you’re not wearing any armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
In addition, your rage is a cold and patient well of power. You maintain your rage even if you did not take damage or make an attack if you took the Dodge Action.
Frostbite
Also at 3rd level, you can unleash the unforgiving cold inside of you with your attacks. Once on each of your turns while you’re raging, you can release a burst of sheer cold when you hit a target with a melee weapon attack. When you do, that target takes an extra 1d6 cold damage from the attack. This damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 cold damage at 10th level and 3d6 at 14th level.
When a creature takes cold damage in this way, its movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.
Cold Fortress
By 6th level, you learn to further channel the icy resilience within you. When you enter a rage and are not wearing any armor, your skin becomes shielded by a protective layer of frost. This frost grants you a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d12 + your Constitution modifier that last for 1 hour. You can use a bonus action on your following turns while you’re raging to expend a Hit Die to gain these temporary hit points again. When you do, the number of temporary hit points you gain is equal to the maximum roll of the expended Hit Die + your Constitution modifier.
Deep Sleep
At 10th level, 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.
You awake from this rest after 6 hours or when you take damage or a creature uses its action to slap you awake. If you finish a continuous 6 hours of sleep in this way, you gain the benefits of finishing a long rest, and you regain all expended Hit Dice.
Icy Burst
Also at 10th level, you can use an action to send out a shockwave of ice. All creatures in a 30ft emanation must make a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution Modifier. All creatures that fail the Save take a number of d8s of cold damage equal to your proficiency bonus and are Slowed until the end of your next turn, and taking half as much damage on a successful Save. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.
Never-Ending Fortitude
At 14th level, you become as unstoppable as a mighty glacier. When you take damage, you can use your Reaction to reduce that damage by 2d12. Additionally, you can only be knocked Prone if you choose to be, and you are immune to being Frightened and Slowed.
Path of Impulse
All barbarians are well acquainted with the concept of harnessing from a deep emotional well. However, some barbarians learn to explore facets of their emotional spirit other than rage alone, tapping into the varied emotional experience of a mortal mind.
Emotional State
When you choose this path at 3rd level, 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.
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.
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, your additional rage damage is equal to double your Proficiency bonus, instead of your Proficiency.
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 movement speed increases by 5 feet. This additional movement speed increases to 10 feet at 9th level and to 15 feet at 16th level. This movement speed is in addition to the movement speed increase granted by Fast Movement.
Ardent Strikes
Starting at 6th level, the emotional energy within you begins to suffuse your weapons. While you are raging and in an Emotional State, you may cause any weapon attacks you make to deal one of the damage types that your chosen Emotional State grants you resistance to, rather than the weapon’s usual damage.
When you choose to deal one of these damage types, you may treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Storm Herald learn to transform that rage into a mantle of primal magic, which swirls around them. When in a fury, a barbarian of this path taps into the forces of nature to create powerful magical effects.
Storm heralds are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect nature. Other storm heralds hone their craft in lodges in regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the world’s end, or deep in the hottest deserts.
Storm Aura
Starting at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose desert, sea, or tundra. Your aura’s effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your environment choice whenever you gain a level in this class. If your aura’s effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Path of Strikers
Strikers harness the primordial power of the storm to wreak havoc upon their foes, through stealing their sight, their movement, or simply crushing them before they have the chance to act at all. They are a unique type of defender for their allies, their protection being somewhat a byproduct of the sheer devastation they inflict upon the enemy. They are not simply a conduit for the wrath of the storm, though, but instead wield it with thought and practice, shaping it into devastating strikes and unique abilities some would almost comparable to spellcraft, mimicing the sometimes unpredictable and sudden wrath of a tempest, changing these abilites like the weather with the seasons. Though they may seem dangerous and collateral-prone, Strikers are mindful to shape their lightning around and away from their allies, diffusing it through a combination of sheer will and practiced talent.
Your Striker could develop their powers in a number of ways. Some may be from a long lineage of Strikers, or were caught in a freak magical storm and left with some of that residual energy. However you came to be a Striker, you embody chaos and control in equal measure, proving that the best defense is an overwhelming offense.

A Reach or Strike can be used in place of any unarmed strike attack you would make during your turn.

Your Reach and Strike abilities use your Arsenal DC in many places. This DC is equal to (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constiution modifier)

Lightning damage you deal ignores resistance.

The first time you pass through a hostile creature’s space during this movement, they take Lightning Damage equal to 2d6 + double your Proficiency Bonus. If you end the movement in the air, you float harmlessly down to the ground at a rate of 30 feet per second.
If you end the movement touching a surface, you create a devastating shockwave, and all hostile creatures within a 30 foot cube of the impact must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Arsenal DC, or take 4d6 Lightning and 4d6 Thunder damage, and are knocked prone and blinded. On a successful save, they take half damage and are only knocked prone or blinded (your choice).
For one minute after your Thundercrash, any hostile creatures that ends their turn within 30 feet of the impact point need to make a dexterity saving throw, or take 2d6 Lightning Damage on a failure, and half as much on a success.
Once you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Storm’s Reach
All Reaches are considered simple thrown weapons, with which you are proficient. They have a range of 30/40ft.
They appear as Tiny objects, whose appearance you choose.
They are summoned to your hand when you choose to attack with them, and dissapear in a small shower of sparks as soon as their effects conclude, or if they exit their range.
If you miss an attack roll with a Reach, it will fly past the target of the attack, until it hits another creature or surface, or exits its range.

Ballistic Strike. When you are at least 10 feet in the air, choose a point you can see on the ground.

If an attack hits, it deals extra lightning damage equal to your Rage damage bonus.

Path of Subjugators
Those who follow this path grant no mercy and ask for none. Weakness is seen as consent to be crushed by the strong. Those that are conquered are expected to serve not only in life, but also in death.
There are no great numbers of tribes that follow this path, for the path of the one who would rule the dead is a path made alone, save for the wailing that follows them.
Grisly Treasure
At 3rd level, you draw strength from your foes. Beasts and Monstrosities killed by you or your allies can be looted for a trophy if it was killed in a combat you took part in.
Trophies usually take the form of a body part or a notable item belonging to your enemy and must be displayed openly on your person to benefit you. This can take many forms, such as tying small bones to your clothing, wearing or wielding a notable item belonging to an enemy, or even crafting an item from their corpse.
You can hold a number of trophies equal to your proficiency bonus and taking a new trophy causes the trophy of the lowest CR creature you bear to crumble to dust and be destroyed.
You cannot take more than one trophy from a single enemy for use with the features of this path.
Savage Lore
At 3rd level, you can summon the spirit of your fallen foe. As an Action, you hold forth a creature's trophy to summon its shade to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you.
The shade has the same appearance and statistics that the creature had in life, but it is translucent and has gray tone to it.
The shade can only obey simple commands such as guarding a location, or following an ally.
In combat, the shade disregards commands, mindlessly pursuing the closest enemy, making a single attack against that enemy at the end of your turn. The shade's attacks deal Psychic Damage and use the statistics of the creature it's based off of.
The shade disappears if it's reduced to 0 hit points, you summon another shade, or after it makes a number of attacks equal to your proficiency bonus.
When a shade disappears, the trophy that was used to summon it crumbles to dust and is destroyed.

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.
Dread Knowledge
At 14th level, you can call upon the greater powers that your enemies possessed in life.

As part of the action you use to absorb the spirit, 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.
Once you absorb a spirit, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Path of Totem Warriors
The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts a spirit animal as guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle, your totem spirit fills you with supernatural might, adding magical fuel to your barbarian rage. Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.

Bolstering Magic
Starting at 6th level, you can harness your wild magic to bolster yourself or a companion. As an action, you can touch one creature (which can be yourself) and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature: For 10 minutes, the creature can roll a d3 whenever making an attack roll or an ability check and add the number rolled to the d20 roll. Roll a d3. 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. You can take this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Unstable Backlash
At 10th level, 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.
Controlled Surge
At 14th level, you gain masterful control over your surges. Instead of rolling once on the Wild Magic Table, you roll three times and choose any number of the rolled effects.
Path of Zealots
These barbarians are zealots — warriors who channel their rage into powerful displays of divine power.
Divine Fury
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.
Warrior of the Three
At 3rd level, your soul is marked for endless battle. If a spell, such as Raise Dead, has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), the caster doesn’t need material components to cast the spell on you.
Zelous Presence
At 10th level, you learn to channel divine power to inspire zealotry in others. As a bonus action, you unleash a battle cry infused with divine energy. 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 Death
Beginning at 14th level, the divine power that fuels your rage allows you to shrug off fatal blows.
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.
Changes
Short Rests
Anything that recharges once on a short rest, instead recharges Proficiency Bonus number of times per long rest.

Starting Equipment
Greataxe or Melee Martial Weapon | Any Simple or Martial Melee Weapon

Additional Rage Damage
Changed Rage Damage to be based on Proficiency Bonus (+2, 1-4th. +3, 5-8th. +4, 9-12th. +5, 13-16th. +6, 17-20th), rather then seemingly arbitrary bonuses (+2, 1-8th. +3, 9-15. +4, 16-20th), this results in an average Rage Damage increase of +1.65, and with a singular extra attack, a +3.3 DPR increase (+4.95 DPR if duel wielding or Path of Berserkers, and +6.6 if duel wielding and Path of Berserkers)
Rage Uses
Rage uses are based on Proficiency Bonus, rather then arbitrary amounts, also based on long rests versus short rests.
PB Based 2 uses, 1-4th. 3 uses, 5-8th. 4 uses, 9-12th. 5 uses, 13-16th. 6 uses, 17-20th, per long rest.
Arbitrary Based 2 uses, 1-3rd. 3 uses, 4-5th. 4 uses, 6-11th. 5 uses, 12-16th. 6 uses, 17-20th, per short or long rest.
On average this is less rages (+0.25 rages), and you lose the short rest regeneration.
Feature Changes
Extra Attack now scales if you have more copies of the feature and reach certain levels (2 copies at 11th level, 3 copies at 20th level)
Feral Instinct changed from "you ignore surprise if the first thing you do is rage" to "you can't be surprised"
Relentless Rage now allows you to try resist Critical hits.
