Barbarian Class

To quick build a barbarian class for yourself, follow these suggestions. First, think about where you character comes from and their place in the universe. Talk with your KT about an appropriate origin for your barbarian. Did you come from a distant land, making you a stranger in the area? Or are you set in a rough-and-tumble frontier, where barbarians are common? Second, put your highest ability score in Strength, followed by Constitution. Third, choose the outlander background (you don't need to be an outlander, but it does help). Barbarian Statblock (Lv 1-20)

Barbarian

by D&D (WotC)

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 INSTINCT

People of towns and cities take pride in how their civilized ways set them apart from animaIs, as if denying one's own nature was a mark of superiority. To a barbarian, though, civilization is no virtue, but a sign of weakness. The strong embrace their animal nature- keen instincts, primaI physicality, and ferocious rage. Barbarians are uncomfortable when hedged in by walls and crowds. They thrive in the wilds of their homelands: the tundra, jungle, or grasslands where their tribes live and hunt. Barbarians come alive in the chaos of combat. They can enter a berserk state where rage takes over, giving them superhuman strength and resilience. A barbarian can draw on this reservoir of fury only a few times without resting, but those few rages are usually sufficient to defeat whatever threats arise.

A LIFE OF DANGER

Not every member of the tribes deemed "barbarians" by scions of civilized society has the barbarian class. A true barbarian among these people is as uncommon as a skilled fighter in a town. and he or she plays a similar role as a protector of the people and a leader in times of war. Life in the wild places of the world is fraught with peril: rival tribes, deadly weather, and terrifying monsters. Barbarians charge headlong into that danger so that their people don't have to. Their courage in the face of danger makes barbarians perfectly suited for adventuring. Wandering is often a way of life for their native tribes, and the rootless life of the adventurer is little hardship for a barbarian. Some barbarians miss the close-knit family structures of the tribe, but eventually find them replaced by the bonds formed among the members of their adventuring parties.

Path of the Ancestral Guardian

PATH OF THE ANCESTRAL GUARDIAN

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 PROTECTORS

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While You're raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that target 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 of dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.

After you cast either spell in this way you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

VENGEFUL ANCESTORS

Path of the Berserker

PATH OF THE BERSERKER

For some barbarians. rage is a means to an end-that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker's rage. you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.

FRENZY

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level. you can go into a frenzy when you rage. If you do so. for the duration of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one. When your rage ends. you suffer one level of exhaustion.

MINDLESS RAGE

Beginning at 6th 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 of the rage.

INTIMIDATING PRESENCE

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frightened someone with your menacing presence. When you do so. choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you. it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn.

If the creature succeeds on its saving throw. you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.

RETALIATION

Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you. you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.

Path of the Blighted

The Path of the Blighted is a path of unholy origin, traced back to the same origin of the Blights: the Gulthias Tree. By gaining power from this evil source, you can channel your rage to shift your physical form, becoming a monstrous abomination of vines and branches. While transformed, you engulf and constrict your enemies as you tear them apart.

Blighted Transformation

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you become a blighted monster when you rage. For the duration of your rage, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the target with blighted vines that sprout out of your body. This grapple does not require a free hand, but otherwise follows all of the rules for grappling. You can have 1 creature grappled with this feature at a time.
If you already have a creature grappled with this feature, this bonus action instead constricts the target, causing them to take bludgeoning damage equal to half your barbarian level, rounded up.

False Appearance

Beginning at 6th level, your body is now able to become temporarily plantlike to hide from foes. As an action, you can camouflage yourself against the surface of a plant, such as the bark of a tree, a large bush, or an area of thick vines. When you do so, you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check with advantage, remaining camouflaged until you move or take an action.

Unnatural Growth

At 10th level, you can cast the plant growth spell once with this feature, and you regain the ability to cast it this way once you finish a long rest.

This grapple does not require a free hand, and you can have 1 creature grappled with this feature at a time.
If you use your Blighted Transformation feature to constrict a creature you’re grappling, you deal damage to both the creature you’re grappling with Blighted Transformation as well as the creature you’re grappling with Reactive Tendrils.

Path of Blood

The Path of Blood is a path taken by only the most ruthless and battle-hungry barbarians. They do not care when they shed their own blood - in fact, they use that energy to empower their rage even farther, using their suffering to inflict wounds upon their foes through magical bonds of blood.
While at first glance the Path of Blood appears to be powered by the same forces as the Path of the Berserker, the Path of Blood is far more magical in nature. Bloodragers use their blood in a form of hemomancy - a magic that utilizes blood sacrifices.

Bloodbound

Starting when you select this path at 3rd level, you can choose to create a bond of blood between yourself and an enemy within 30 feet of you when you rage. For the duration of your rage, that enemy’s attacks deal bonus necrotic damage to you equal to 1d4+ half your barbarian level on a hit, and your attacks against that enemy also deal 1d4 + half your barbarian level bonus necrotic damage on a hit. The bonus damage dealt to you ignores resistance and immunity.
If the enemy dies before your rage ends, you can use your bonus action on a subsequent turn to create a new bond between yourself and another enemy.

Power through Suffering

At 6th level, the sight of your own blood empowers your rage. When you are below half your hit point maximum, your rage damage bonus is doubled for each attack you make against the target of your Bloodbound feature.

Blood Scent

Starting at 10th level, you can smell the scent of blood from up to 5 miles away, and accurately pinpoint the direction it’s coming from. Once you get within 1 mile of the source, you can make a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to determine its exact identity. On a success, you know the exact identity of the creature if you have encountered it before; otherwise, you only determine its type and the severity of its injury. Either way on a success, you know the exact distance and direction to the injured enemy. On a failed check, you know that you failed the check and can’t make another one for 1 hour.

Blood Reckoning

Beginning at 14th level, when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the attacker takes necrotic damage equal to one fourth of your Barbarian level.

Path of the Storm Herald

PATH OF THE STORM HERALD

All barbarians harbor a fury within. Their rage grants them superior strength, durability, and speed. Barbarians who follow the Path of the Storm Herald learn to transform that rage into a mantle of primal magic, which swirls around them. When in a fury, a barbarian of this path taps into the forces of nature to create powerful magical effects.
Storm heralds are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect nature. Other storm heralds hone their craft in lodges in regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the world’s end, or deep in the hottest deserts.

STORM AURA

Starting at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose desert, sea, or tundra. Your aura’s effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your environment choice whenever you gain a level in this class. lf your aura's effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Desert: When this effect is activated, all other creatures in your aura take 2 fire damage each. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.
Sea: When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.
Tundra: When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura gains 2 temporary hit points, as icy spirits inure it to suffering. The temporary hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.

STORM SOUL

At 6th level, the storm grants you benefits even when your aura isn’t active. The benefits are based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.

Desert: You gain resistance to fire damage, and you don’t suffer the effects of extreme heat, as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch a flammable object that isn’t being worn or carried by anyone else and set it on fire.
Sea: You gain resistance to lightning damage, and you can breathe underwater. You also gain a swimming speed of 30 feet.
Tundra: You gain resistance to cold damage, and you don’t suffer the effects of extreme cold, as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch water and turn a 5-foot cube of it into ice, which melts after 1 minute. This action fails if a creature is in the cube.

SHIELDING STORM

At 10th level, you learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from the Storm Soul feature while the creature is in your Storm Aura.

RAGING STORM

At 14th level, 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.

Desert: Immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes fire damage equal to half your barbarian level.
Sea: When you hit a creature in your aura with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by a wave.
Tundra: Whenever the effect of your Storm Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura. That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn, as magical frost covers it.

Path of the Totem Warrior

PATH OF THE TOTEM WARRIOR

The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts a spirit animal as guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle. your totem spirit fills you with supernatural might. adding magical fuel to your barbarian rage. Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.

SPIRIT SEEKER

Yours is a path that seeks attunement with the natural world. giving you a kinship with beasts. At 3rd level when you adopt this path. you gain the ability to cast the beast sense and speak with animals spells. but only as rituals.

You also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example. If you have a bear totem spirit. you might be unusually hairy and thick. skinned, or if your totem is the eagle. your eyes turn bright yellow. Your totem animal might be an animal related to those listed here but more appropriate to your homeland. For example. you could choose a hawk or vulture in place of an eagle.

Bear: While raging. you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes you tough enough to stand up to any punishment.
Eagle: While you're raging and aren't wearing heavy armor. other creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls against you. And you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. The spirit of the eagle makes you into a predator who can weave through the fray with ease.
Wolf: While you're raging. your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. the spirit of the wolf makes you a leader of hunters.
Elk: While you're raging and aren't wearing heavy armor, your walking speed increases by 15 feet. The spirit of the elk makes you extraordinarily swift.
Tiger: While raging, you can add 10 feet to your long jump distance and 3 feet to your high jump distance. The spirit of the tiger empowers your leaps.
