Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

The wind has picked up as you stand in front of an army, alone. Starting slow and weak, but with time, comes power. Through raging strikes comes an unstoppable force. Assaulting the enemy with incessant strikes. You gain power from attacking while raging and attacking, making you stronger the longer you are in the fight until you reach the point of becoming a one-man army. 

This subclass was inspired by the role in Town of Salem labeled "the juggernaut". In the game, you kill other people and gain powers during the nighttime phase, until you become very powerful. I thought it would be cool to create something similar in dnd where you become more powerful the longer the fight is. Start from nothing and gain everything.

Unstoppable Force

If you use the attack action and hit while raging, you gain power. You can only get 1 power per turn. You start with 0 power and only add on the additional power at the start of your next turn. The powers keep adding on after every attack action. Range attacks, spells, bonus action attacks, and reaction attacks do not grant power. When you stop raging, you lose all the powers you have gained during your rage. You then have to restart.

These are the powers you gain over attack action.

 1. You gain +5 movement
 2. You gain +1 to attack rolls made with melee weapons
 3. You gain +5 movement
 4. You gain +1 AC
 5. You gain +5 movement
 6. You gain advantage on CON save throws
 7. You gain +5 movement
 8. You gain +1 AC
 9. You gain +1 to rage damage
 10. You gain +1 attack per action

 

Rampage

You can expend a charge when making a melee attack while raging to make an additional melee attack with the same weapon on a different creature within 5 feet of you. You have charges equal to your proficiency bonus and you regain all charges on a long rest.

One Man Army

Your strength ramps up even further. Your gained power now goes over 10 and up to 15. These are the additional power level bonuses:

 11. You gain +5 movement
 12. You gain +1 AC
 13. You gain +1 to attack rolls made with melee weapons
 14. You gain +1 rage damage
 15. Your attacks gain a shockwave effect that deals strength+rage damage as thunder damage to surrounding creatures 5 ft of the target. 

Immeasurable Strength

Your power has grown so immense that nothing is able to stop your deadly strikes. Your melee attacks bypass resistances to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage while raging.
