Path of the Hungered Moon

In the shadowed depths of the wilderness, under the watchful gaze of the Hungered Moon there roam barbarians who have forged a pact with the primal forces of night and darkness. These warriors, known as the Hungered Moon barbarians, draw upon the insatiable hunger that lurks within the lunar glow, harnessing its power to fuel their relentless pursuit of victory. They are creatures of the night, fierce and unyielding, driven by a hunger that knows no bounds.

The Hungered Moon barbarians are born under a dark omen, often during nights when the moon hangs low and baleful in the sky. Legends speak of a forgotten pact between ancient tribes and the moon itself, granting these barbarians their unique abilities. Some say their rage is fueled by the moon's insatiable hunger, while others believe they draw power from the darkness that lurks within its silver glow. Regardless of the truth, those who witness the fury of a Hungered Moon barbarian know to fear the primal forces they command, for they are as relentless and unyielding as the lunar cycle itself.

Ashen Frenzy

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you tap into the primal hunger that lies dormant within you. While you are raging, your attacks carry the essence of the Hungered Moon. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose to deal extra necrotic damage equal to half your Barbarian level.

Hungered Fury

Under the watchful eye of the Hungered Moon, your rage becomes infused with lunar energy. While raging, you gain a bonus to your attack rolls and damage rolls equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). Additionally, when you score a critical hit against a creature, you regain hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

Craven Resilience

Starting at 6th level, the embrace of the Hungered Moon bolsters your resilience. You gain resistance to necrotic damage while you are raging.

Additionally, when you enter a rage, you can choose one of the following benefits:

• You gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws.
• You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
• Your speed increases by 10 feet.

Umbral Flurry

At 10th level, you learn to channel the darkness of the night into your strikes. While you are raging, your melee weapon attacks ignore resistance to necrotic damage, and creatures with vulnerability to necrotic damage instead take additional necrotic damage equal to half your Barbarian level on a hit.

Additionally, while you are raging, you can use a bonus action to make an additional melee weapon attack against a creature within range after you hit with a melee weapon attack on your turn. This feature can be used a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Avatar of the Baleful Eclipse

Upon reaching14th level, you become a living embodiment of the Hungered Moon during your rage.

As an action, you can emanate an aura of darkness, shrouding yourself in a 20-foot radius sphere of magical darkness for 1 minute or until you end your rage. While within this darkness, you gain advantage on attack rolls, and any hostile creature that starts its turn in the darkness takes necrotic damage equal to your Constitution modifier. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
