Path Of The Butcher

As a Path of the butcher barbarian; Your job on the battlefield is twofold. To turn every beast, dragon, creature of unknown flavour and even humanoids if need be; into a bloody mess. and then turn said mess into a fine cuisine... or just a sandwich of shredded cold cuts and greens. Either way; you'll be often called upon when the party is short on rations or worse, or when a mighty beast is showing a bit more flesh then it should have for its own good. A path of the butcher barbarian does not rely on magic; so much as the storm herald or totem does. no. They rely on skills trained over years of practice and experimentation... to mix flesh; bone; blood; herbs and spices to make their legendary morsels and mythic dishes. beware though; not every dish will be quite as good as the last... mind you don't anger the mind of a butcher; or his cleaver might make its way through your collar.
