Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

You have been exposed to the remnants of one or more once living souls, still among the corporeal world. The essence of such has now intertwined itself with your body and spirit. Granting you abilities that remain among the living realm, yet still within the realm of the dead.

Alternatively you may have been blessed by some being with ties to death. Given the gifts of the beyond to prevent such a misfortune or be it's catalyst.

However it may be you are now both aware and in control of the soul that resides within you. What you do with such power is up to you.

Soul's fury

While you rage your body has a light glow and becomes almost see through as it takes a form closer to that of a soul.

While raging your attacks take on a different nature. When attacking you no longer need to roll to hit, instead your weapon carves its damage into the creatures soul and instead put a soul counter on the creature each time you hit a creature. A creature can have any number of soul counters on them. 

When your rage ends or as an action you may end your rage, to cause each soul counter to deal your weapons damage to the creature who has it. If a creature has immunity to the damage you would deal, it instead only has resistance. This damage can only be increased by abilities that were active at the time of the soul counter being put on the creature.(i.e. smite must be used on the application of the soul counter).

If a creature would die while it has soul counters or from the damage of soul counters, you regain hit points equal to 1d6 per soul counter on the creature.

Tongue of the Beyond

As your body and soul have become stronger, so does their influence over others. You have advantage on all skill checks related to souls, spirits, and the undead.

Also, normally hostile souls, spirits, and undead will not be immediately hostile towards you, but rather ignore you or simply observe you. However this may not work on high level monsters or creatures under direct control of another.

Additionally your body and solo are wore intertwined with one another. This allows you to hit creatures who are incorporeal even if you are corporeal. Conversely you can hit creatures who are corporeal even if you are incorporeal.

Soul Reader

You have become accustomed to using your powers of the soul. Through this you have become accustomed to observing information not from what one puts forward but what is written on one's soul.

After observing a creature for at least one full minute, you can determine the creatures true name, alignment, and true form(if it has a different form). 

Additionally as a free action you can mark a targets soul within 30 feet simply by looking at them. This mark lasts for 24 hours. During this time the creature can not hide from you, and you always know what direction the creature is no matter how far away. If the creature is on a different plane than you, you know which plane it is on. You may instantly teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of a marked creature as long as the creature is within 300 feet of you. You may use this teleport a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Emperor of The Veil

You have become someone to content with some of the strongest among the undead and the spirits behind them.

lower level Undead, souls and spirits, now regard you with respect and do not dare go against you. As an action you may destroy such creatures whose challenge rating is 1/3 your level rounded up or lower sending them back to the realm of the dead.

As a free action on your turn you may bring forth a torrent of souls emanating from your body for one minute. All allies within 40 feet of you adds 1d6 to all d20 rolls made, and all enemies within 30 feet of you subtract 1d6 to all d20 rolls. You may use this ability once per long rest and it is active any time you are raging.

Additionally on each subsequent turn you may use a bonus action to cause all allies within the area to gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus + your barbarian level.
