Create Chaotic Effects with your Rage

Many places in the multiverse abound with beauty, intense emotion, and rampant magic; the Feywild, the Upper Planes, and other realms of supernatural power radiate with such forces and can profoundly influence people. As folk of deep feeling, barbarians are especially susceptible to these wild influences, with some barbarians being transformed by the magic. These magic-suffused barbarians walk the Path of Wild Magic. Elf, tiefling, aasimar, and genasi barbarians often seek this path, eager to manifest the otherworldly magic of their ancestors.

Level 3: Magic Awareness

As an action, you can cast the Detect Magic spell without spending a spell slot. Strength is your spellcasting ability for it. When you do so, the range is 60 feet and you don’t need to Concentrate on it. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of 1) and regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

 

Level 3: Wild Surge

The magical energy roiling inside you sometimes erupts from you. When you enter your Rage, roll on the Wild Magic table to determine the magical effect produced. If the effect requires a save, the DC equals 8 plus your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier.

 

 Wild Magic Table (1d8)

---

 1. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution save or take 1d12 Necrotic damage. You also gain 1d12 Temporary Hit Points.

---

 2. You teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. While your Rage is active, you can use this effect again as a Bonus Action.

---

 3. An intangible spirit appears within 5 feet of a creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. At the end of the current turn the spirit explodes and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity save or take 1d6 Force damage. While your Rage is active, you can use this effect again as a Bonus Action.

---

 4. Magic infuses one weapon of your choice that you are holding. While your Rage is active, the weapon's damage type changes to Force, and it gains the Light and Thrown (20/60)

properties. If the weapon leaves your hand, it reappears in your hand at the end of your turn. 

---

 5. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack roll while your Rage is active, that creature takes 1d6 Force damage, as magic lashes out in retribution.

---

 6. While your Rage is active, you are surrounded by multicolored, protective lights. You have a +1 bonus to your Armor Class, and your allies have the same bonus while within 10 feet of you.

---

 7. Flowers and vines temporarily grow around you. While your Rage is active, the ground within 15 feet of you is difficult terrain for creatures that are hostile towards you.

---

 8. A bolt of light shoots from your chest. A creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution save or take 1d6 Radiant damage and have the Blinded condition until the start of your next turn. While your Rage is active, you can use this effect again as a Bonus Action.

 

Level 6: Bolstering Magic

You can harness your wild magic to bolster yourself or a companion. As an action, you can touch a creature and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to it:

• Might. Whenever the creature makes a D20 Test it can roll a d4 and add it to the result. This effect lasts for 10 minutes.
• Mana. The creature rolls a d4 and regains an expended spell slot of the level equal to the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). Once a creature receives this benefit, it can’t receive it again until they finish a Long Rest.

You can this feature a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of 1) and regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

 

Level 10: Unstable Backlash

When you are imperiled during your rage, the magic within you can lash out. When you take damage or fail a saving throw while your Rage is active, you can use your Reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect. This effect replaces the active Wild Magic effect.

 

Level 14: Controlled Surge

Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic table, you can roll the die twice and choose which of the two effects to unleash. If you roll the same number on both dice, you can ignore the number and choose any effect on the table.
