Path of The Forge Master

The Lord of the Forge has chosen you to represent him as his champion. You become a master forger, able to create a myriad of weapons on the battlefield.

Pump The Bellows

Starting at 3rd lvl you've connected with the Lord of Forges and have been granted access to his great Forge. Your Rage is replaced by the Forge Master State. This state grants you all normal Rage bonuses and restrictions except the damage bonus. 

Upon entering your Forge Master State, all weapons you are carrying or wielding are shunted off to a personal pocket dimension. You may roll on the Forge Master table for a replacement weapon or you may forego this roll to recall one of your shunted weapons back to you, additionally if you roll on the table and get a weapon you currently carry, you may choose to keep that weapon and transfer the boons to your equipped weapon. Forge Master Weapons offer different boons based on the weapon summon. They also have the following effects: 

• You are proficient with any weapon currently created by your Forge Master feature. Additionally, any ranged weapon created by your Forge Master feature uses Str in place of Dex for attack and damage rolls, it also ignores the loading properties as the ammunition is magically created.

• You can make Reckless Attacks with ranged and thrown weapons that you Forged.

•  Any thrown weapon created by the Forge Master feature returns to your hand after being thrown.  

• Forged Weapons do an extra 1d8 radiant or fire damage (you choose whenever you roll a new weapon on the Forge Weapon table). This damage increases to 2d8 at 9th lvl, 3d8 at 14 lvl, and 4d8 at 19th lvl. You gain resistance to your current chosen type.

• Some Forged Weapons have boons that force creatures to make a saving throw. The DC for these saving throws is 8+your strength mod+your proficiency bonus
