## Path of the Colossus Those who walk the Path of the Colossus are defined by their discipline, focus, and resolve. They identify with the element of earth, and often come from mountainous regions. Barbarians who follow this path learn to fight without weapons, channeling their rage to give them tremendous physical power. They take a methodical approach to combat by slowly breaking down their enemy's defenses with overwhelming strength. These warriors are implaccable forces of nature, capable of crushing rock and withstanding devastating blows. ___ **Image credits:** *Monk by Blizzard Entertainment* *Mountains by Marcodaldingo at Deviantart* #### Hands of Stone Your weapons of choice are your fists. Beginning when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage for your unarmed strikes. This die changes based on your level in this class. When you make an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action if you are not wielding a weapon or a shield. In addition, your unarmed strikes count as attacks with melee weapons. ##### Unarmed Strike Damage | Barbarian Level | Unarmed Strike | |:----:|:-------------| | 3rd | 1d4 | | 6th | 1d6 | | 10th | 1d8 | | 14th | 1d10 | #### Fury of the Mountain At 3rd level, you learn special fighting techniques that you can use in combat. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with one of these techniques. When you make an unarmed strike as part of these techniques, do not add your rage damage or Strength modifier to the damage roll. You can’t use these techniques if you are wielding a weapon, a shield, or wearing heavy armor. ***Punishing Strike.*** Make an unarmed strike against a creature. If you hit it, attempt to shove your target. ***Earthen Grip.*** Attempt to grapple a creature. If you succeed, make an unarmed strike against it. ***Brace.*** Gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + half your Barbarian level (rounded down), then make an unarmed strike. You lose these hit points at the start of your next turn. ``` ``

#### Unstoppable Force Starting at 6th level, your relentless conditioning makes it harder to resist your attacks. Your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. While raging, your unarmed strikes deal double damage to objects and structures, which count as hostile creatures for the purpose of maintaining your rage. #### Immovable Object At 10th level, your rage grants you strength unparalleled. While raging, you count as one size larger when you attempt to grapple or shove a creature, and you are immune to being pushed, pulled, or knocked prone. In addition, your carrying capacity is doubled, as is the weight you can push, drag, or lift. #### Titan's Fist When you reach 14th level, you learn how to throw all your strength into a single crushing blow. As an action, make an unarmed strike against a creature no more than one size larger than you. If it hits, add an additional damage die. The target must succeed a Strength (Athletics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check or be pushed 25 feet away from you and knocked prone. You can’t use this feature more than once on your turn. While raging, you count as one size larger when you use this feature.
