Choose the Berserker, Bloodrager or Stoic path. The path you choose gives you features at 1st, 3nd, 7th, 11th, and 15th levels, representing the source of your abnormal might.

Rage

On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. Your rage has the following benefits:

• You gain advantage on Strength checks and saving throws
• You gain a +2 bonus to the damage rolls of your attacks using Strength. This bonus increases as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.
• You count as one size category larger for the purposes of grappling, shoving, and carrying capacity
• When you aren't wearing heavy armor, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.

Your rage lasts for 10 minutes, or until you are knocked unconscious. You can also end your rage as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing any armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Rage Powers

At 2nd level, you gain two Rage Powers of your choice from the list at the end of this class description. You choose one additional power at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th level.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd level, when you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on attacks using Strength during this turn, but attacks against you have advantage until your next turn.

Ability Score Improvement

At 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Instinctive Rage

Starting at 9th level, when you roll initiative, you can begin a rage without spending your bonus action.

Relentless Rage

Starting at 13th level, if you drop to 0 hit points while raging, you can make a DC 10 Constitution save. On a success, you drop to 1 hit point instead. Each time you use this feature before finishing a long rest, the DC increases by 5.

Persistent Rage

Beginning at 17th level, your rage does not last for 10 minutes, but instead until you begin a short or long rest.

Path #1: Berserker

As a berserker, reckless abandon pushes you past humanoid limits of strength, endurance, and willpower. Your heart is a wild thing, and you are ferocious in the throes of passion.

Frenzy

You cannot cast or concentrate on spells while raging. In exchange, you gain the following unique benefits:

• You gain advantage on initiative rolls
• You gain advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks

Ferocious Frenzy

Starting at 3rd level, you can Dash, Disengage, grapple, shove or make an unarmed strike as part of the bonus action you use to begin raging, or as a bonus action during your rage.

Each target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you for 1 minute or until it takes damage. Once you have used your Roar on a target, that target becomes immune to your Roar until it completes a long rest.

At 11th level the area of your roar increases to a 30 foot radius or a 60 foot cone.

Revel

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your passion and power to inspire respect. When you would frighten a friendly creature, you can choose to charm it instead.

Starting at 7th 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.

Bloodcurdling Roar

Starting at 15th level, any creature charmed or frightened by your Roar is also stunned. If you order your target to move or take an action, and if it is willing, it can ignore the stunned condition in order to comply with your order.

Primal Champion

Finally at 20th level, you embody strength and fortitude. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.

Path #2: Stoic

As a stoic, your singleminded focus guides you through chaos and hardship with cold efficiency. The patience and precision of your unwavering mind make you a slow, steady predator.

Trance

You cannot cast or concentrate on spells while raging. In exchange, you gain the following unique benefits:

• You ignore difficult terrain
• You can move through the spaces of hostile creatures

Stand Against

Starting at 3rd level, you can make an opportunity attack against a creature when you see it move into your reach.

Stand Between

Unblinking Gaze

Starting at 11th level, you can take one reaction on each turn while raging, rather than one reaction per round.

Rage Beyond Death

Starting at 15th level, 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.

Primal Champion

Finally at 20th level, you embody strength and fortitude. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.

Primal Path #3: Bloodrager

As a bloodrager, you are fortified by sorcerous magic rushing through your veins. Frail of body, strong of will, you lever the powers of your mind over matter.

Bloodrage

You cannot cast or concentrate on spells while raging, except for bloodrager spells. In exchange, you gain the following unique benefits:

• Your Strength score grows to equal your Charisma score.
• When you deal damage using a spell, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. This bonus increases as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.

Your rage ends if you enter the area of an Antimagic Field.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know two 1st-level sorcerer spells of your choice.

The Spells Known column of the Bloodrager Spellcasting table shows when you learn more sorcerer spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the sorcerer spells you know with another spell of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bloodrager spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the DC for a bloodrager spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Furious Smite

Starting at 3rd level, when you are raging and you hit a creature with a melee attack or a thrown weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal extra damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8.

If your target is within 30 feet, you pinpoint its location. If your target passed within 30 ft of you in the last day, you discover its trail and can begin to follow it. However you cant locate a target or follow a trail that you can't smell (e.g. an odourless target, or a trail through running water).

When you hit a target with a creature and your attack roll would hit the creature's AC as well, both the target and the creature damage.

Each time you create a shockwave, you strike a surface and send violent tremors along a 5 foot radius, a 10 foot cone, or a 15 foot line (your choice). Each creature in the area must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus ) or fall prone.

Shockwave, Improved

Prerequisite: Shockwave

When you make a shockwave, you can pull up the surface that you strike as if pulling a rug, sending a ripple rushing from you to the edge of the shockwave's area.

Wild Throw, Improved

Prerequisite: 10th level, Wild Throw

When you throw a weapon using Wild Throw, you can spend one of your daily rages to treat its range as (200/600) if it lacks the thrown property, or as (one mile/the horizon) if it has the thrown property. Treat your attack as a critical hit on hit, regardless of the d20 result.

Berserker Powers

Booming Roar

Whether or not you are raging, you can shout loudly enough to be heard from 1 mile away.

In addition, you can force targets in the area of your Roar to make Constitution saves instead of Charisma saves. On a failed save, each target ignores the normal effects of your roar and takes thunder damage equal to 1d8 (plus your rage gamage, if you are raging).

A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw. A nonmagical object that isn’t being worn or carried also takes damage if it’s in your roar’s area.

• The creature's current hit points
• The creature's emotional state
• Who or what in the creature's surroundings is most on its mind in that moment (such as something it covets, fears, seeks to protect, or seeks to destroy).

Deadpan

Whether or not you are raging, you gain a bonus to your Charisma (Deception) checks equal to your rage damage.

While you are raging, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means, unless you allow it, and, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so choose.

Deathly Stillness

When you try to hide while raging, creatures who attempt to detect you take a −10 penalty to their Wisdom (Perception) checks. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone, either voluntarily or because of some external effect.

In addition, when you lay still while raging, you appear dead to all outward inspection. You produce no noticeable breath, heartbeat, or warmth.

One Eye Open

You remain aware of your surroundings and able to speak, even when you are unconscious. In addition, being knocked unconscious does not end your rage.

Perfect Clarity

While raging, no scene is vast or noisy enough to distract you from its finest details.

You can see anything as thin as a hair with no difficulty, provided that it is within 30 feet of you (e.g. a fingerprint on a dagger's hilt, a blood droplet on a shoeleace).

Likewise, you ignore ambient noises when determining whether or not you can hear underlying noises (such as a single conversation in a crowd, or a pindrop on a battlefield)

Silent Killer

While raging, you do not make noise when you move or when you make attacks.

In addition, a creature grappled by you cannot make noise, though it can still perform the verbal components of spells.
