Barbarian: Difference between revisions

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.<br>

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.

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.<br>

When a creature takes cold damage in this way, its movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.<br><br>

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.

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>

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.

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.

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.
