Path of the Abomination

Born from horrible magic, this is not a path of choice, but a path one is dragged down.  The Path of the Abomination is a curse upon those inflicted with it and causes the subject to undergo a hideous transformation when they rage.  This could have been caused by someone performing ancient and evil magic or it could be an experiment gone awry.   No matter how they ended up this way, the subject's body is an anomaly in itself and grants powerful benefits that always come with some downside.

The Path of the Abomination lets one become incredibly powerful at the expense of those around them.  Using their rage, the abomination transforms into a new type of being with powerful abilities that spawn from the creature becoming even more monstrous than they already appear.  As they progress down their path and become more powerful, they also become more unstable, requiring different forms of energy to feast on and strengthen themselves.

Monstorous Transformation

When entering a rage, roll 3d20, each one corresponds with an effect below on the Monstrosity Table.  This dictates the effects that happens to your body to deform it for the duration of your rage.  Each deformity comes with benefits and hinderances.  These effects end when your rage ends.

If you roll a duplicate, you may choose to roll again, but effects will not stack.

Draining Aura

Your presence is taxing to everyone around you, your ever hungering body drains sustenance from the life around you.

Beginning at level 6, when you enter rage and at the beginning of your turn until the rage ends, roll a d4.  Deal that much poison damage to every creature within a 10ft radius.  You gain temporary hit points equal to half the total damage dealt.

This increases to a d6 at level 12 and a d8 at level 16.

When your strength wains, your erratic body pulls from the teammates you hold closest.

Beginning at 10th level, when entering a rage, chose any amount of friendly characters within 30ft.  You may increase your strength score by 1 for each character up to 20.  If a friendly character is chosen, you must chose another ability score of theirs to decrease by 2.  This effect stays until your rage ends.  

Feast of Magic

Your unstable body hungers for magic.  It fuels you like an arcane battery.

Beginning at level 14, as an action, you choose a creature.  The creature must make a saving throw using their spell casting modifier with a DC equal to 8 + your Strength modifier.  On a save, nothing happens.  On a fail, the creature loses their highest available spell slot.  You gain HP equal to the spell slot's level multiplied by your rage modifier.  You also add the spell slot's level to your next ability check, saving throw, or attack roll.  Friendly creatures may choose to fail this save.

Using this feature allows your rage to continue regardless of if you have taken damage or attacked a hostile creature.
