Barbarian

Invoke Past Warriors to Guard Your Allies

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Ancestral Guardian come from cultures deeply connected to their ancestors, who are believed to offer guidance and protection. When these barbarians enter a rage, they summon ancestral guardians to aid them in battle. They use their ancestors' power to defend their allies and tribe, and their intricate tattoos honor their heritage by depicting heroic victories and preserving the legacy of their forebears.

The guardian spirits that aid you provide supernatural protection to your allies. While you are raging, you can take a Reaction to reduce the amount of damage another creature you can see within 30 feet takes by a number of d6s equal to your Rage damage bonus.

You gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you can cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell, without expending 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.

After you cast either spell in this way, you can't use this feature again until you finish a Short or 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 Force damage equal to the amount of damage your Spirit Shield prevented.

Become a Living Weapon in the Heat of Battle

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Battlerager are fierce devotees of the gods of war, known among their kin as Kuldjargh or "axe idiots". These warriors don spiked armor and engage in battle with reckless abandon, using their very bodies as weapons. Embracing the raw fury of combat, Battleragers throw themselves into the fray, their every movement a brutal, calculated assault. Their armor becomes a deadly extension of their rage, turning them into unstoppable forces of destruction on the battlefield.

You gain Resistance to Necrotic damage. Additionally, while wearing Spiked Armor, you gain the following benefits:

You gain the following benefits while wearing Spiked Armor:

Your mastery in the use of the Spiked Armor and grappling allow you to get the following benefits when using your Spiked Armor:

Let Your Rage Morph You into a Ferocious Being

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Beast tap into a primal fury that transforms them into powerful, beastly forms. This bestial essence surges forth during their rage, altering their physical appearance and abilities. Whether inherited from a lycanthropic parent, bestowed by an archdruid, granted by a fey spirit, or awakened by an ancient animal spirit, this primal power embodies their deepest connection to the wild.

The feral power within you increases. Whenever you deal damage with any of your Form of the Beast's natural weapons, it can deal your choice of Force damage or its normal damage type.

Additionally, you can also alter your form to help you adapt to your surroundings. When you finish a Short or Long Rest, choose one of the following benefits, which lasts until you finish your next Short or Long Rest:

When you hit a creature with the natural weapons of your Form of the Beast, you can curse your target with rabid fury. It makes a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength modifier and your Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save it has one of the following curses:

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifer, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

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 willing creatures you can see within 30 feet of you equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of 1). You gain 5 Temporary Hit Points for each creature that accepts this feature. While your Rage is active, once on their turns, the chosen creatures can deal an extra 1d6 damage on an attack they make.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) and regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Channel Rage into Violent Fury

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Berserker direct their Rage primarily toward violence. Their path is one of untrammeled fury, and they thrill in the chaos of battle as they allow their Rage to seize and empower them.

You have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions while your Rage is active. If you're Charmed or Frightened when you enter your Rage, the condition ends on you.

When you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to make one melee attack against that creature, using a weapon or an Unarmed Strike.

As a Bonus Action, you can strike terror into others with your menacing presence and primal power. When you do so, each creature of your choice in a 30-foot Emanation originating from you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature has the Frightened condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of the Frightened creature's turns, the creature repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a use of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you manifest a crystalline blade formed from your rage and willpower.

As a bonus action, you summon a Crystal Cutlass into your hand. It counts as a martial melee weapon you are proficient with, dealing 1d10 slashing damage.

The cutlass is magical and disappears if it leaves your hand or if you dismiss it (no action required).

While raging, your Crystal Cutlass resonates with primal energy.

Your cutlass can fracture into shards of force.

When you hit a creature with your Crystal Cutlass, you may force it to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier).

On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 force damage and has disadvantage on its next attack roll.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum 1), regaining all uses on a long rest.

Your rage causes your cutlass to split into mirrored afterimages.

Your cutlass can unleash a devastating prismatic strike.

As an action while raging, you make a single melee attack with your Crystal Cutlass. On hit, the target takes an additional 6d8 damage. Roll a d6 to determine the damage type:

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Empower Yourself with a Fiendish Presence

Demonglass holds the essence of a fiend—pure malefic power yearning for release. A painful, and often lethal, ritual can embed a shard of demonglass in a mortal's body; if the mortal survives, they can draw on the power of the fiend. The warriors of the Carrion Tribes in the Demon Wastes and the champions of Turakbar's Fist in Droaam are eager to augment their might in this way, but there are others—Znir hwyri, Ghaash'kala—who make this sacrifice in order to fight hellfire with hellfire. No matter their intention, a Barbarian who walks the Path of the Demonshard may struggle to keep the fiendish malice contained.

The fiendish presence in your demonshard has grown, and it reacts badly to competition. While your Rage is active you have Advantage on saving throws against the Charmed and Frightened conditions, and you have Resistance to Psychic damage.

Additionally, if you take Psychic damage or if you make a saving throw to avoid or end the Charmed or Frightened conditions, you must use your Reaction, if available, to immediately enter a Rage. Entering a Rage in this way does not expend a use of your Rage.

The evil in your demonshard has grown, and its power can escape when you are distracted by pain. When a creature triggers your Fiendish Punishment feature, all other creatures within 10 feet of you take the damage too.

The fiendish presence in your demonshard revels in the pain it has wrought. When a creature takes damage from your Fiendish Punishment or Overflowing Malice features, you can use your Reaction to cause one affected creature to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 plus your Constitution modifier and Proficiency Bonus). The creature suffers a -1 penalty to its saving throw for each other creature affected by Fiendish Punishment or Overflowing Malice on the same turn. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 Necrotic damage and has the Frightened condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of the Frightened creature's turns, the creature repeats the save (without a penalty), ending the effect on itself on a success.

Rip and Tear Across the 'Verse

Driven by a bottomless Rage, Dreadnoughts tear through futuristic battlefields with unparalleled brutality. A Barbarian following this path blasts apart aliens like a tank and charges through mechademons like a freight train, ripping and tearing until only they remain.

Whenever you make a melee attack on your turn against a creature you can see, you can lunge up to 15 feet toward your target before making the attack. Doing so doesn't spend movement or provoke Opportunity Attacks. You can perform this movement even if it causes you to travel through the air, though you fall after making the attack.

When you activate your Rage, you can choose one of the following benefits of your choice. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

You can use your Glory Kill more than once on each of your turns. When you hit a creature with the extra attack of your Glory Kill, the target takes an extra 1d10 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon or Unarmed Strike.

The unstoppable soldiers of wartorn battlegrounds, it is the duty of the dreadnought to break enemy lines and raze entire cities. Each dreadnought wears an advanced helmet, a Berserker Helm, which, once donned, is never removed. Each helm is specially engineered to make the dreadnought fearless and to grant them complete control over their terrible rage. The helmet is the locus of their emotion, or lack thereof.

To a dreadnought, reality is simple: there are friends and foes, good and evil, law and chaos. The rule above all: never remove your helm.

At 6th level, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. If you make this saving throw while you are raging, you can reroll one of the d20s once.

Beginning at 10th level, when you use your action to Dash, you can use a bonus action to make one melee weapon attack or to shove a creature.

At 14th level, you can focus your rage into an unstoppable fury against a single target. When you enter a rage, you can choose 1 creature that you can see within 60 feet. Your attacks deal twice the normal amount of rage damage to this target.

Augment the Body with Volatile Serums

Barbarians following the Path of the Experiment supplement their rage with alchemical cocktails that surge in their bodies through syringes and tubes of copper, steel, and glass. These formulas enhance their ability to channel primal might, or perhaps—because of their rage—they are the only people who can survive the chemicals flooding their veins. A Barbarian may have created the implants and serums through their own experimentation, or they could have been subjected to the insidious work of others. Whatever the origin, it could have been well-intentioned and made to enhance or preserve the Barbarian's life, or it might have been an unhinged alchemical exploration.

The Experimental Implants table offers examples of different forms your implants can take.

Through continued experimentation or your natural adaptation to your implants, you can now activate one of the compound options below, in addition to a serum, when you enter your Rage or change your chosen serum. The chosen compound lasts for the duration of your Rage, or until you choose a new compound.

Your implants are now sensitive to your response to danger and flood you with stimulating chemicals. When you take damage, or when you gain the Blinded, Deafened, Poisoned, or Stunned condition, you can take a Reaction to enter your Rage before the damage or conditions are applied. When you enter your Rage, you end any of those conditions on yourself, including any triggering conditions.

Additionally, while your Rage is active, you have Advantage on Constitution saving throws.

Your body focuses and combines the strength of your serums. When you activate an option of your Volatile Serum, you activate two options instead of one.

Additionally, when a creature within 5 feet of you damages you with a melee attack while your Rage is active, the creature takes 1d12 Acid damage. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

Two Personalities Are Better than One

Barbarians are defined by their rage, channeling it to unleash brief but potent destruction. Few are brave or unwise enough to study esoteric psychological techniques that split their rage from the rest of their psyche, dividing their identity into two parts: ego and id. When their ego is in control, the Fractured—as these Barbarians are known—possess self-control and cunning beyond most other Barbarians. When they allow their id to take control, their countenance turns monstrous and their bodies swell with the power of rage made physically manifest.

While your Rage is not active, you have Resistance to Psychic damage. While your Rage is active, you have Resistance to every damage type except Force and Psychic.

While your Rage is not active, you can take the Disengage or Help action as a Bonus Action. While your Rage is active, your attack rolls with Unarmed Strikes score a Critical Hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

When you are reduced to 0 Hit Points and not killed outright, you can drop to 1 Hit Point instead, and you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to half your Hit Point maximum. In addition, if your Rage is active, your Rage ends. If your Rage was not active, you immediately activate your Rage (even if you have no remaining uses of your Rage). If any of these Temporary Hit Points remain after 1 minute, they vanish.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Channel the Colossal Might of Giants

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Giant draw upon the elemental forces that giants harness, growing in both size and strength as they rage. Their fury manifests in awe-inspiring transformations, where they may appear as towering versions of themselves with elemental energy crackling around them, or they might assume the majestic form of a giant or elemental being, surrounded by fire, frost, or lightning. These transformations reflect the immense power and grandeur of giants, making them formidable and awe-inspiring figures on the battlefield.

Your physique is bolstered by the primordial elements.

Your connection to giant strength allows you to hurl both allies and enemies on the battlefield. As a Bonus Action while your Rage is active, 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 you. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength modifier and your Proficiency Bonus) 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 and gaining the Prone condition as normal.

The primordial power of your rage intensifies.

Born from within the chambers of a volcano, barbarians who follow the Path of the Inferno have learned to harbour the unpredictable and forceful nature of the flame. These warriors transform their bodies into a raging and unstoppable inferno, leaving naught but destruction in their wake.

Barbarians who follow this path are often warriors who prefer to start the fight and let the fight be emotion driven. Once they have set a course, only the strongest foes can stop them.

At 6th level, the first time you are reduced to 0 Hit Points, for each active Rage, you can use your Reaction to make one final Attack Action before falling unconscious. This action can be used to make at most 2 attacks. (If you have Relentless Rage, you can only use this Reaction after failing the Relentless Rage saving Throw.)

In addition to that, you are immune to the Charmed and Frightened conditions while raging.

At 10th level, you always radiate a fiery presence while raging. While your Rage is active you can use replace your Flamelash effect to instead burn all creatures within 10ft of you. Each creature of your choice within range must succeed a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + Constitution modifier + Proficiency Bonus) or take fire. To determine the fire damage, roll a number of d6s equal to your Rage damage bonus, and add them together. A creature takes half damage on a successful save.

At 14th level, you can release all that built up heat within yourself. As an Action, while raging, you release a blazing inferno. All creatures within 20ft of you must succeed a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + Constitution modifier + Proficiency Bonus), or take 12d6 fire damage, half as much damage on a successful one. And anything that is flammable and not worn or held, is ignited.

Once you use it you can't again, until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a use of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.

Be a Buff, Angry "Wizard"

You're a wizard! Perhaps you went to wizarding school on a football scholarship or just picked up a book at the gym and started reading. No matter how you got here, you're a wizard, one that just coincidentally has massive, rippling muscles. You have the big dumb hat and the book filled with gibberish and everything!

You gently remind others, often by beating them to a pulp and cracking their bones, that your magical powers shouldn't be questioned. You're a good wizard—the best one, even! And only a fool would say otherwise.

Your "magic" is powerful enough to cast every "spell" that exists (and no one can prove otherwise without broken ribs). However, you only prepared the following "spells" today. While your Rage is active, you can use each of the following "Spells" once. When you do so, you can't use that "Spell" again until you finish a Long Rest.

You're such an amazing wizard that other wizards can't even touch you. While your Rage is active, you have Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

You can crush your enemies with your ultimate "spell":

Rage Alongside a Bestial Spirit

Many Barbarians are in tune with the natural world, but few are as mystically intertwined with it as those who walk the Path of the Primal Spirit. These Barbarians forge powerful connections with beasts and nature spirits, inspiring such ethereal beings to manifest and journey on far-flung adventures.

Barbarians who follow this path have a deep reverence for the cycle of the natural world. Such Barbarians are as likely to accept quests and pleas for aid from local wildlife as they are from people. This respect for animals and spirits doesn't cross into naivety—few understand the delicate balance between the needs of predator and prey better than those who walk the Path of the Primal Spirit.

You always have the Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals spells prepared. You can cast each of these spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast either spell in this way, you can't cast that spell in this way again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for them.

You take a Magic action to enter a trance and choose your primal companion or one Beast currently under the effect of your Animal Friendship spell within 60 feet of yourself. For the duration of this trance, you possess the chosen creature.

Once you possess a creature's body, you control it. Your Hit Points, Hit Point Dice, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Speed, and senses are replaced by the creature's. You otherwise keep your game statistics. This possession ends if you choose to exit the trance (no action required by you), if the Beast you're possessing is reduced to 0 Hit Points, or if you and the Beast are on different planes of existence.

While in this trance, your body falls into a catatonic state. You can't move or take Reactions, and you're unaware of your surroundings. You can remain in the trance for a number of hours up to half your Barbarian level plus your Constitution modifier.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending one use of your Rage (no action required).

As a Bonus Action, you can choose a new form for your primal companion, causing it to transform instantaneously. When you cause your primal companion to transform in this way, its current Hit Points change to its new Hit Point maximum.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending one use of your Rage (no action required).

The Path of the Spell Scorned awakens a mote of antimagic within the soul of its adherents. These elite warriors steel themselves against magical effects. Some are specially trained bodyguards, tasked with protecting the elite mages of arcane academies or the high priests of religious orders. Others are demon hunters, their resistance allowing them to overcome the foul magic that strikes down lesser warriors.

You always have the Counterspell spell prepared. With this feature, you can cast it without a spell slot or components while your Rage is active, and your spellcasting ability for it is Strength. As part of the Reaction you take to cast the spell, you can move up to your Speed and make one attack with a weapon against the target of the spell.

Once you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so in this way again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

When you or another creature that can hear you takes damage, you can take a Reaction to grant it Resistance against that damage. In addition, the target gains Resistance to that damage type until the end of the current turn.

You always have the Banishment spell prepared. When you activate your Rage or as a Bonus Action while your Rage is active, you can cast Banishment without a spell slot or components and while your Rage is active, and your spellcasting ability for it is Strength. You can maintain Concentration while your Rage is active. You can target up to three creatures when you cast Banishment this way. In addition, you can choose to pursue the creatures you banish. If you do so, the targets you banished don't have the Incapacitated condition for the spell's duration, and you travel with them to a demiplane. The demiplane is an empty room 30 to 200 feet in each dimension (you choose when you cast the spell) and made of wood or stone (your choice). You must create enough space for you and the targets, or the spell ends. The room is filled with Bright Light. When the spell ends, if you traveled with any targets, you and any dropped objects reappear in the space you left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Let your Fury Roar with the Force of the Elements

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Storm Herald channel their inner fury into a vibrant mantle of elemental magic. When they enter a rage, this primal magic swirls around them, harnessing the raw forces of nature to create powerful effects. Whether they train alongside druids and rangers, or hone their skills in storm-battered lodges, icy frontiers, or scorching deserts; Storm Heralds become elite champions imbued with nature's fierce energies.

The storm grants you benefits even when your Storm Aura isn't active. The benefits are based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.

In addition, you learn the Elementalism cantrip. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.

You learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has Resistance to the damage type of your Storm Soul feature while it is within your Storm Aura.

The power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.

Walk in Community with the Animal World

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Wild Heart view themselves as kin to animals. These Barbarians learn magical means to communicate with animals, and their Rage heightens their connection to animals as it fills them with supernatural might.

You gain one of the following options of your choice. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your choice.

You can cast the Commune with Nature spell but only as a Ritual. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.

Whenever you activate your Rage, you gain one of the following options of your choice.

Trace the Roots and Branches of the Multiverse

Barbarians who follow the Path of the World Tree connect with the cosmic tree Yggdrasil through their Rage. This tree grows among the Outer Planes, connecting them to each other and the Material Plane. These Barbarians draw on the tree's magic for vitality and as a means of dimensional travel.

Whenever a creature you can see starts its turn within 30 feet of you while your Rage is active, you can take a Reaction to summon spectral branches of the World Tree around it. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength modifier and Proficiency Bonus) or be teleported to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of yourself or in the nearest unoccupied space you can see. After the target teleports, you can reduce its Speed to 0 until the end of the current turn.

During your turn, your reach is 10 feet greater with any Melee weapon that has the Heavy or Versatile property, as tendrils of the World Tree extend from you. When you hit with such a weapon on your turn, you can activate the Push or Topple mastery property in addition to a different mastery property you're using with that weapon.

When you activate your Rage and as a Bonus Action while your Rage is active, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

In addition, once per Rage, you can increase the range of that teleport to 150 feet. When you do so, you can also bring up to six willing creatures who are within 10 feet of you. Each creature teleports to an unoccupied space of your choice within 10 feet of your destination space.

Channel the Rage of the Unquiet Dead

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Wrathful Dead commune with the spirits of the deceased and channel their spectral powers. These Barbarians are often preoccupied with the dead whispering in their ears, which urge them to act upon the whims and emotions of the haunting spirits. Some who walk this path learn to master the powers gifted to them; others find they've become servants to the unending chorus clamoring for their attention.

Once per active Rage, you can take a Magic action to channel a traumatic death. When you do, choose one of the following options.

Your familiarity with death has left you resistant to its call. You gain the following benefits.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend two uses of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.

Your Rage is empowered by the overwhelming emotions of the unquiet dead. Your Final Night Catharsis feature grants an additional effect based on the chosen emotion.

Smash Machines with Your Rage

Muscle breaks Steel; Rage defeats Machines; Strength beats Systems; such is the creed of the Wrecker. True Barbarians learn this creed quickly when set adrift in the so-called civilized world of neon lights and metal walls. People have lost their way in the 'Verse, trusting their lives to machines and algorithms instead of the reliability of their own might. Setting upon the Path of the Wrecker means tearing down the machines and buildings of the mechanized world and letting your rage guide you when the 'Verse seems upside-down.

You can attempt to hack a device by breaking it. You don't need an Interface Rig for this hacking attempt. Make a Strength (Athletics) check in place of an Intelligence (Data) check. On a success, you successfully hack the system and can perform one operation as if you had full access. The machine breaks immediately after this hacking attempt and can't be used afterwards without repair, whether or not you succeeded on the check. The GM decides if the machine stops functioning or if just a portion of it, such as its controls, are destroyed.

When you reduce an enemy to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack, you can rip off one of its limbs and use it as a weapon. You can immediately take a Bonus Action to move up to your Speed and make one melee attack using the limb as a weapon. A severed limb has the following traits.

Weapon Category: Martial Melee

Damage on a Hit: 1d8 Bludgeoning

Properties: Versatile (1d10)

Mastery: Sap

You can take an action to attempt to rip a limb off a Large or smaller Construct or Undead creature within 5 feet of you that is Bloodied. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength Modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus) or lose its limb. A target can't make attack rolls or ability checks using a removed limb; the GM can decide if the creature suffers additional penalties, such as a reduced Speed or Disadvantage on ability checks. You can only remove one limb from a creature.

While your Rage is active, when you hit a creature using a melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike, you can choose one of the following effects.

Muscle breaks Steel; Rage defeats Machines; Strength beats Systems; such is the creed of the wrecker. True barbarians learn this creed quickly when set adrift in the so-called civilized world of blinking lights and metal walls. People have lost their way in this universe, trusting their lives to machines and algorithms instead of the reliability of their own might. Setting upon the Path of the Wrecker means tearing down the machines and buildings of the mechanized world and letting your bottomless rage guide you when the universe itself seems upside-down.

Starting at 6th level, you understand that smashing something usually makes it work better. You can attempt to hack a device that could usually be hacked, such as a door control panel or an arcane terminal, by breaking it. Make a Strength (Athletics) check in place of an Intelligence (Data) check. On a success, you perform one operation on the system of your choice as if you had full access, just as if you successfully hacked the system. The machine breaks immediately after this and can't be used afterwards without repair, whether or not you succeeded on the check.

By 10th level, you've become quite skilled in the time-tested tactic of ripping off an enemy's limb and swinging it at them. You gain proficiency in improvised weapons. When you reduce a humanoid creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon attack, you can rip off one of its limbs. Alternatively, you can use your action to attempt to rip a limb off a Large or smaller construct or undead creature within 5 feet of you by making an opposed Strength (Athletics) check against it. A construct or undead that has more than half its hit points automatically succeeds on this check. If you successfully rip off a limb, you can immediately use it to make a melee attack as a bonus action. A creature missing a limb can't make attacks using a removed limb and has disadvantage on ability checks that involve using their limbs. You can only remove one limb from a creature.

A severed limb is an improvised melee weapon which deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If removed from a Large creature, it deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage instead.

Starting at 14th level, your strikes land with such ferocity that you tear armor and armor plating asunder. While raging, when you deal damage with a melee weapon attack to a construct or a creature wearing armor, you can cause the armor or construct to take a cumulative −1 penalty to the AC it offers, to a maximum penalty of −4 AC. A construct or suit of armor damaged by this ability can be repaired in 1 hour for 100 gp per point of AC penalty taken.

Rage in Ecstatic Union with a God

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Zealot receive boons from a god or pantheon. These Barbarians experience their Rage as an ecstatic episode of divine union that infuses them with power. They are often allies to the priests and other followers of their god or pantheon.

Once per active Rage, if you fail a saving throw, you can reroll it with a bonus equal to your Rage Damage bonus, and you must use the new roll.

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 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 unless you expend a use of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.

When you activate your Rage, you can assume the form of a divine warrior. This form lasts for 1 minute or until you drop to 0 Hit Points. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

While in this form, you gain the benefits below.

Embrace the Chaotic Magic of the Wild

Barbarians who tread the Path of Wild Magic are deeply attuned to realms of raw emotion and potent magic, such as the Feywild or the Upper Planes. Their intense feelings make them receptive to these mystical forces, transforming them into conduits of wild magic. Barbarians from elven, tiefling, aasimar, or genasi lineages often follow this path, seeking to channel the arcane power of their heritage into unpredictable and potent effects in battle.

You can harness your wild magic to bolster yourself or a companion. As an Magic action, you can touch one creature (which can be yourself) and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature:

You can take this action a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

When you are imperiled during your Rage, the magic within you can lash out. When you take damage or fail a saving throw while your Rage is active, you can take a Reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect. This effect replaces the active Wild Magic effect.

Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic table, you can roll the die twice and choose which of the two effects to unleash. If you roll the same number on both dice, you can ignore the number and choose any effect on the table.
