Path of the Battlerager (Revised)

This is a revised version of the Battlerager. Known as Kuldjargh (literally “axe idiot”) in Dwarvish, battleragers are dwarf followers of the gods of war and take the Path of the Battlerager. They throw themselves into combat, giving themselves over to the fury of battle.

Restriction: Dwarves Only

Only dwarves can follow the Path of the Battlerager. The battlerager fills a particular niche in dwarven society and culture.

Your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign. The restriction exists for the Forgotten Realms. It might not apply to your DM’s setting or your DM’s version of the Realms.

Dwarven Fervor

When you choose this path at 3rd level, your dwarven vigor makes you tough in battle. While you are raging, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) at the start of each of your turns. They vanish if any of them are left when your rage ends.

Reckless Abandon

Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). They vanish if any of them are left when your rage ends.

These temporary hit points stack with Dwarven Fervor.

Battlerager Charge

Beginning at 10th level, you can take the Dash action as a bonus action while you are raging. In addition to this, you may move through other creatures spaces, but not stay in them. If you do this, the creature must make a Strength saving throw equal to your Strength score. On a fail, the creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to half your Strength score (rounded down) and is knocked prone.

Fury of the Stout Folk

Starting at 14th level, the fury of the dwarves courses through you. While raging, you cannot be pushed or knocked prone. If you are already prone, entering your rage allows you to stand instantly without expending movement.
