In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

• When you make a melee weapon Attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. This bonus increases as you level.

• You have Resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If you are able to cast Spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked Unconscious or if Your Turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on Your Turn as a Bonus Action.

Once you have raged the maximum number of times for your barbarian level, you must finish a Long Rest before you can rage again. You may rage 2 times at 1st level, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 6th, 5 at 12th, and 6 at 17th.

1st-level barbarian optional feature (adds to Rage)

While you are raging, your jump distance is tripled.

Optional 1st-level barbarian feature

You can use Strength rather than Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls of ranged weapons you are proficient in, provided you make the attack against a target within 20 feet of you. If you make a ranged attack using Strength this way, it receives the benefits of your Rage and Brutal Critical (1 die) features as if it was a melee weapon. It is also eligible for the advantage granted by your Reckless Attack, provided that the attack is made against a target within 5 feet of you.

If you take this optional feature, your barbarian hit die is reduced to a d10, which reduces your hit points at 1st level and at higher levels to that of the fighter class.

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

At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

2nd-level barbarian feature (replaces Danger Sense)

You become proficient in your choice of two of the following skills: Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, Perception, or Survival.

Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those skills.

3rd-level barbarian optional feature (adds to PHB)

You learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.

Maneuvers. You know two maneuvers, which are chosen from the list of maneuvers available to the fighter's Battle Master archetype. You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. Each time you learn a new maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

Superiority Dice. Instead of having a pool of superiority dice, your maneuvers are fueled by sheer anger and reckless abandon. When you use your Reckless Attack feature in combat, you can forgo gaining advantage on attack rolls to instead gain one superiority die, a d6, which you can use anytime before the start of your next turn. This die becomes a d8 at 9th level and a d10 at 15th level. Starting at 5th level, you gain two dice from this feature rather than one. You then gain three dice at 11th level and four dice at 17th level.

Saving Throws. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

3rd-level barbarian optional feature (adds to Rage)

While you are raging, you have advantage on all Wisdom checks.

3rd-level barbarian optional feature

When you reach 3rd level and again at 10th level, you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from the list of skills available to barbarians at 1st level.

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Choose the Path of the Berserker or the Path of the Totem Warrior, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

These options are available to you when you choose a totem animal at 3rd level.

As with the spirits in the Player’s Handbook, the options here require a physical object incorporating some part of the totem beast, and you might acquire minor physical attributes associated with your totem spirit, such as snakelike eyes if you have a serpent totem spirit.

Also, your totem spirit might be an animal similar to one listed here but more suitable to your homeland, such as a hummingbird or another animal that represents eternity, rather than a scarab.

Scarab. While you are raging, you regain lost hit points equal to your Constitution modifier at the end of each of your turns and you can't be aged magically. The spirit of the scarab touches your soul with the power of eternity.

Serpent. While you’re raging and aren’t wearing heavy armor, you can't be restrained or knocked prone by nonmagical means. The spirit of the serpent makes you move with exceptional grace.

When you reach 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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

4th-level feature (enhances Ability Score Improvement)

When you gain the Ability Score Improvement feature from your class, you can also replace one of your skill proficiencies with a skill proficiency offered by your class at 1st level (the proficiency you replace needn't be from the class).

This change represents one of your skills atrophying as you focus on a different skill.

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

Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor.

This option is also available to you when you choose a totem animal at 6th level.

Scarab. The mystical forces of eternity speak to you. You can discern the age of a creature, object, or structure you touch with incredible precision.

Serpent. You can move through a space large enough for a creature one size smaller than you without squeezing.

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Choose the Path of the Berserker or the Path of the Totem Warrior, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

7th-level barbarian optional feature

As part of the bonus action you take to enter your rage, you can move up to half your speed.

Choose two spells from the following list: animal messenger, detect magic, locate animals or plants, or speak with animals. You can cast the chosen spells as rituals. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them.

9th-level and higher barbarian optional feature

Your connection to nature has bolstered your ability toperform certain activities. Choose one of the following benefits, and then choose another one at 13th and 17th level.

Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and maximum lift) is doubled, and it doubles again while you are raging. Additionally, your attacks deal double damage to objects and structures.

Choose one skill. You gain proficiency in the chosen skill if you don't already have it, and you can add double your proficiency bonus to ability checks using that skill.

In addition, you gain proficiency in one tool of your choice.

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Choose the Path of the Berserker or the Path of the Totem Warrior, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you're raging and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

This option is also available to you when you choose a totem animal at 14th level.

Scarab. While you're raging, when a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you regains lost hit points from a spell or other magical effect, you can use your reaction to reduce the number of hit points regained by half, and you regain a number of lost hit points equal to that amount.

Serpent. While raging, when you drag or carry only one creature you have grappled, your speed isn't halved.

Beginning at 15th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.
