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.

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 Guardians Features
Feature Level Quick Explanation
Ancestral Protectors 3rd Foes you hit while you are Raging are worse at hitting other creatures, and creatures they hit take less Damage.

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

6th Level Path of Ancestral Guardians Feature
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 an increased amount: by 3d6 at 10th Level and by 4d6 at 14th Level.

Consult the Spirits

10th Level Path of Ancestral Guardians Feature
You gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you cast the Augury or Clairvoyance Spells, without using a Spell Slot or Material Components.

Check with your DM about which of the following you will use for this campaign:

  • Once you cast either Spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

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.
