Barbarian Sub Classes

Ancestral Guardian

  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 dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.   Spirit Shield: Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection to those you defend. If you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6. When you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by 4d6 at 14th level.   Consult the Spirits: At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell, without using 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.   Vengeful Ancestors: At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to retaliate. When you use your Spirit Shield to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker takes an amount of force damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.

Additionally, when you use the Attack action to grapple a creature, the target takes 3 piercing damage if your grapple check succeeds.   Reckless Abandon: Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

Until the rage ends, you manifest a natural weapon. It counts as a simple melee weapon for you, and you add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls when you attack with it, as normal.   You choose the weapon’s form each time you rage:  

• Bite. Your mouth transforms into a bestial muzzle or great mandibles (your choice). It deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you damage a creature with this bite, you regain a number of hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, provided you have less than half your hit points when you hit.

 

• Claws. Each of your hands transforms into a claw, which you can use as a weapon if it’s empty. It deals 1d6 slashing damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you attack with a claw using the Attack action, you can make one additional claw attack as part of the same action.

 

• Tail. You grow a lashing, spiny tail, which deals 1d8 piercing damage on a hit and has the reach property. If a creature you can see within 10 feet of you hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to swipe your tail and roll a d8, applying a bonus to your AC equal to the number rolled, potentially causing the attack to miss you.

  Bestial Soul: Beginning at 6th level, the feral power within you increases, causing the natural weapons of your Form of the Beast to count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. 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 a short or long rest:

• The target must use its reaction to make a melee attack against another creature of your choice that you can see.

  You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.   Call the Hunt: At 14th level, the beast within you grows so powerful that you can spread its ferocity to others and gain resilience from them joining your hunt.

You gain 5 temporary hit points for each creature that accepts this feature. Until the rage ends, the chosen creatures can use the following benefit once on each of their turns: when the creature hits a target with an attack roll and deals damage to it, the creature can roll a d6 and gain a bonus to the damage equal to the number rolled.

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 frighten 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.

If you engulf a creature while at your active lava burst limit, an engulfed target of your choice is immediately extinguished While engulfed in this way, a creature sheds bright light in a 10-foot-radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. In addition, it takes 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.   Heated Body: At 6th level, your bond with elemental energy from the plane of fire grows. While raging, you gain resistance to fire damage. In addition, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to erupt like a volcano. Creatures of your choice within 30 feet of the target, up to your active lava burst limit, become engulfed in flames with your Lava Burst feature. You can erupt once per rage.   Magma Chamber: At 10th level, your blood burns like hot lava in your veins. While raging, you can choose to empower your rage for its duration. When creatures of your choice move within 5 feet of you on a turn or starts its turn within 5 feet of you, it takes 1d4 fire damage. This fire damage increases to 1d6 at 14th level. Once you use this feature to empower your rage, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.   Super Volcano: At 14th level, while raging, as an action you explode, cascading hot lava in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on you. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier), taking fire damage equal to 6d8 + your Barbarian level on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Any creature engulfed with your lava burst feature has disadvantage on their saving throw. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 1 use of rage to use it again.  

Zealot

  Divine Fury: Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While you're raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your Barbarian level. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.   Warrior of the Gods: At 3rd level, your soul is marked for endless battle. If a spell, such as Raise Dead, has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), the caster doesn't need material components to cast the spell on you.   Fanatical Focus: Starting at 6th level, the divine power that fuels your rage can protect you. If you fail a saving throw while raging, you can reroll it, and you must use the new roll. You can use this ability only once per rage.   Zealous Presence: At 10th level, you learn to channel divine power to inspire zealotry in others.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.   Rage Beyond Death: Beginning at 14th level, the divine power that fuels your rage allows you to shrug off fatal blows. 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.
