Barbarian

The barbarian is fury given form. Not the cornered-animal panic of a frightened soldier, but a deep and deliberate well of primal rage — drawn up from somewhere older than civilization and poured, all at once, into the swing of an axe. When the fighting starts, the barbarian is already ahead of it: closing the distance, shrugging off blows that would fell lesser warriors, and answering every wound with two of their own.

They ask for little. No spellbook, no ritual, no complex machinery of magic — only a body honed to a weapon and a rage that will not quit. That simplicity is a strength. While others weigh their options, the barbarian is already among the enemy, an immovable, unstoppable front line that buys the whole party room to breathe.

Signature Feature · Level 1

Rage

As a Bonus Action, you unleash a primal fury that carries you through the fight. While Raging you gain Advantage on Strength checks and saves, deal bonus damage on Strength-based melee attacks, and shrug off Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage with Resistance.

A limited number of Rages per Long Rest — the whole class is built around spending that fury at exactly the right moment.

1st Level

Unarmored Defense

While you wear no armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can still carry a shield and keep this defense — your toughness is armor enough.

2nd Level

Reckless Attack

Throw caution aside. You gain Advantage on Strength-based melee attack rolls this turn — but until your next turn, attack rolls against you have Advantage too. Pure aggression, freely offered.

2nd Level

Danger Sense

Your instincts scream before the trap springs. You have Advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects you can see, such as spells, traps, and other hazards.

3rd Level

Primal Path

You choose the source of your fury — a Path that shapes every Rage to come and grants new features at 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 14th level. The four Primal Paths are gathered below.

5th Level

Extra Attack

You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn — the fury now lands in a flurry rather than a single blow.

5th Level

Fast Movement

Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing Heavy armor — enough to run down fleeing prey and close the gap before the enemy is ready for you.

20th Level

Primal Champion

You become the apex of raw might. Your Strength and Constitution scores each increase by 4, and your maximum for those scores rises to 25 — the living peak of what a mortal body can bear.
