Path of the Reaper

Rage, fury, anger. Those are probably the emotions that led you here, the emotions that lead all barbarians to me, Death. This is the end. This allows the cycle to renew, but there are those who would halt the cycle a scourge of undeath that rakes the passage of life from its course and defiles the natural order. You my champion, shall correct it's course.

Reaper barbarians are typically found in the most dire of places, where the cycle of life and death has been tarnished, they have an allegiance to either a god of life, death or those with opposition to undeath. They are the guides of souls determined to deliver a final rest to both those who cant reach it and those who don't want it.

When you take this path at 3rd level you are imbued with a visage of death. When you rage you are enshrouded by a ghostly white cloak and your eyes whiten and leave wispy trails of smoke that protrude out of your sockets. Every enemy who can see you when you rage must make a DC 8+ Constitution Modifier + Proficiency Bonus or be considered frightened of you until your rage ends.

Additionally, your weapon is imbued with 1 soul charge when you rage, you can have a total of 2 soul charges at any time. You gain an additional soul charge whenever:

Eye of the Spirit Guide

At 3rd level you gain proficiency in insight if you do not have it already. You can focus on a creature for more than 1 minute you can peer into their soul. you see shroud of mist depicting the soul, the colour of which denotes the state of it:

• White - Denotes a pure soul. This soul is in it's intended vessel and has not been tampered with.
• Purple - Denotes a corrupted soul. This souls has been forcefully or willingly drawn from the natural path of life and death. Halting it's course.
• Green - Denotes a wayward soul. This soul has been drawn from the natural path through an unintentional force. Usually by a bond or emotion strong enough to divert their path.
