Path of Scorn

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Scorn wield their fury with cutting words and thunderous bellows. Their scornful taunts demoralize enemies and inspire allies. With a voice that resonates with sheer contempt, these barbarians prove that words can cut as deeply as any blade.

Mocking Mind

3rd-level Path of Scorn feature

Your scorn transcends the need for words and strikes directly into the minds of others, you gain the following abilities.

Brutal Whisper. You can speak telepathically to any creature within 60 feet of you. Even if a creature cannot understand the language you are speaking, it still comprehends the tone and intent of your taunts.

Menacing Presence. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. When you make an Intimidation check, you can choose to use your Strength modifier instead of your Charisma modifier. If you do, you still add your Charisma modifier to the roll.

Savage Mockery. You learn the Vicious Mockery cantrip. For you, it has a casting time of a bonus action and can be used even while raging. You can cast it telepathically, without requiring a verbal component. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for it.

Vindictive Retort

You have Resistance to Psychic damage. In addition, you gain the following ability.

Vindictive Retort. When a creature within 60 feet of you is hit with an attack, you can use your reaction to lash out with psychic retribution. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, they take Psychic damage equal to a number of d6s equal to your Rage Damage bonus and become Frightened of the creature they just hit until the start of their next turn. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and are not frightened.
