Path of the Weaveborn

For those barbarians who resonate with the ancient call, the Path of the Weaveborn is a testament to the unbreakable bond between primal fury and the arcane web that binds reality. These warriors draw upon the legacy of the ancient Mythkeepers, channeling the powerful energy of the Weave through their martial prowess. While they do not wield Essence as their Mythkeeper kin do, Weaveborn barbarians access similar powers through sheer force of will and the strength of their spirit, blending physical might with echoes of long-forgotten magic.

  • Ancient Mark: Your weapon attacks made while raging can leave a Weave Mark on your foes. The first time you hit a creature on your turn, it is marked by you for 1 minute or until you mark another creature. While a creature is marked, your attacks against it deal an extra 1d6 force.

On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for the next 24 hours.
