Path of the Warmonger

Battle is the heart and soul of a barbarian, some hail from tribal and savage lands. While some never leave them and are more than happy to fight for their tribe, some make their way to proper society, to nations where wars are guaranteed to happen one day, as mortals always find a reason to fight one another. These warriors are at home in the chaos of overwhelming numbers and indiscriminate slaughter. The banner they fight for is merely a formality. 

Warmongers thrive when outnumbered and revel in the brutal destruction of their enemies, with weapons others would find unwieldy they carve their way through battlefields leaving oceans of blood in their wake and mounds of corpses to stand upon when they finally triumph. The common footsoldier trembles when they come face to face with these warriors who in spite of their chosen weaponry, bear uncanny speed when the thrill of battle is upon them. 

Path of the Warmonger Features

Heavy Armaments

3rd-level Path of the Warmonger feature
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to wield melee weapons that bear the two-handed and heavy properties with a single hand, allowing you to use a shield in your off-hand, or dual-wield them following the normal rules for dual-wielding.

Boundless Endurance

3rd-level Path of the Warmonger feature
Starting at 3rd level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon attack you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (Minimum = 1) for 1 minute, you cannot gain temporary hit points with this feature if you currently have temporary hit points from any source. 

Collateral Strikes

6th-level Path of the Warmonger feature
Beginning at 6th level, your attacks bring danger to any enemy that stands before you.

First in, Last out

In addition at the end of every round of combat, you can use your reaction to move up to your speed before the next round of combat begins. 

Unending Assault
