Path of the Storm Bearer

While there are those that use the blade and hammer, and others that utilize the arcane. There are those that walk a thin line, weaving their fury to unleash primal havoc. Barbarians who follow the Path of the Storm Bearer alter their rage into a mantle of arcane storms that swirl around. 

Storm Bearers are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect the natural realm. Other storm heralds hone their craft in elite lodges founded in regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the world’s end, or deep in the hottest deserts.

Cloak of Storms

-  When you select this path at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.

Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a Bonus Action. Choose desert, sea, sky, tundra, or arcane. Your aura's effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your storm when you enter your rage.

If your aura's effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

-  Desert. When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura takes 1d4 fire damage. The number of dice increases by 1 at certain levels. Die increase at 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.

Or you may choose to impose a Dexterity saving throw on targets when the effect is activated in an attempt to choke targets. Targets suffer nothing on a success, on a failure taking an extra 1d4 damage and becoming Incapacitated by choking desert wind. It can repeat this saving throw using an action on its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. The creature can use it's action to end this effect immediately if outside of your Storm Aura.

-  Sea. When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 1d8 force damage and be pushed up to 10 feet in a random direction as a heavy wave knocks them prone and sweeps them away. Roll a d8 to determine this direction. This movement triggers Opportunity attacks. The number of dice increases by 1 at certain levels. Die increase at 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.

-  Sky. When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target is struck by a lightning bolt and takes 1d6 + Rage Bonus + Proficiency + Constitution modifier lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The number of dice increases at certain levels. Die increase to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 10th level, 4d6 at 15th level, and 6d6 at 20th level.

If they are wearing, wielding, or made of metal, you do not require sight. If that metal is non-magical, you may reroll ones. They must still be within your aura.

-  Tundra. When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura gains 1d4 temporary hit points, as icy spirits inure it to suffering. The number of these die increases by 1 at certain levels. Die increase at 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.

When this effect is activated, you can augment your weapon strikes, your next Attack Action deals an additional 1d8 cold damage as your weapon becomes coated in your icy fury. You may sacrifice the additional damage to focus the frost on a creature you can see in your aura. They must make a Strength saving throw, on a failure, its speed is reduced to 0 till they leave your Storm Cloak. 

-  Arcane. When this effect is activated, the magical energy roiling inside erupts from you. When you enter your rage, roll 1d8 on the Arcane Storms table to determine the magical effect produced. This storm lasts your entire rage, the effect activating again with a bonus action. Alternatively, you can use a bonus action to reroll on the Arcane Storms table and trigger a new effect. If you roll the same storm twice, you may choose what storm you create.

If a storm should provide a dice value, the number of dice goes up by 1 at certain levels. Dice increase at 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.

At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Cloak of Storms.

Your Storm Soul and Cloak of Storms Aura reach extends 40ft from you.

-  Desert. The dice to determine damage becomes d6's instead of d4's. Once per turn, immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw.

-  Sky. Whenever the effect of your Storm Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained by a cyclone and takes 1d6 lightning damage immediately and at the end of their turn until they leave your aura. They may repeat their saving throw using an action on their turn, breaking free on a success. You may have multiple cyclones at once. If you target the same creature for both a cyclone and the lightning bolt, they perform those saving throws individually, on a failure for both, the Damage die become d10's for both.
