Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

On the lower planes, the eternal conflict between law and chaos rages. Devils against demons fight to control the planes. Sometimes this conflict carries over to the material plane, and the corrupting influence of the Abyss infects the hearts of mortals. Sometimes cultists and Archdemon worshipers seek the source of this overwhelming power. Regardless of their background, those who survive the corruption become Abyssal soldiers, also known as the Abyssals.

Abyssal Hide

Beginning at 3rd level, the chaotic corruption of the Abyss overtakes you when you rage, causing your physical features to resemble that of lesser demons. When you enter your rage, you gain the following benefits until the end of that rage:

  • As a bonus action, you can move up to your full movement speed toward a hostile creature that you can see.
  • When you make a Reckless Attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

Abyssal Presence

When you adopt this Primal Path, the corruption of the Abyss empowers your force of personality. At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. Whenever you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check, you gain a bonus to your roll equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of +1).

In addition, you learn to speak, read, and write Abyssal, the blasphemous language of Demons and the Abyss.

Unbridled Fury

Beginning at 6th level, the fury of the Abyss enhances your rage. When you are hit by a melee attack, you can make one melee weapon attack against the attacker. You can choose to make this reaction attack a Reckless Attack.

Corrupt Resilience

The chaotic energy of the Abyss that courses through you has made you more resilient in body and mind. Upon reaching 10th level, you gain resistance to fire and poison damage.

Also, as a reaction when you are forced to make a saving throw to resist being charmed or frightened, you can add your Constitution modifier (minimum of +1) to your roll.

Chaos Overwhelming

You have learned to draw out the full power of the Abyssal influence that permeates your body. Starting at 14th level, when you enter a rage, you can expend one additional use of your rage to gain one of the abilities detailed below for the duration of that rage. As a bonus action while raging, you can expend another use of your rage to switch the active ability.

Accursed Speed. Your limbs grow unnaturally muscular and lengthen. Your movement speed increases by 10 feet, and you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.

Defiled Hide. Your skin becomes blighted and covered in hair, boils, or oily scales. You are immune to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons. Attacks from silvered weapons ignore this immunity.

Vile Flight. You sprout leathery demonic wings from your back which burst through any clothing you are wearing. You gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed.
