Base Class: Barbarian
The Philosophy of the Path
Barbarians who follow this path believe that civilization is a temporary "fever" on the skin of the world. They see themselves as the immune system of the planet. When a threat becomes too great—be it a lich’s necrotic rot or an invading extraplanar army—the world "wakes up" a King.
To walk this path is to accept a terrible burden:
The Hunger: You are constantly drawn to sources of great heat or magic.
The Solitude: You are a creature of the deeps; the cities of men feel like fragile birdhouses beneath your feet.
The Duty: You are the judge of the natural order. You do not fight for "good" or "evil," but for the balance of the Earth itself.
Level 3: Atomic Breath
3rd Level: Atomic Breath
You can exhale a beam of concentrated radioactive force. When you take the Attack action on your turn while raging, you can replace one of your attacks with this exhalation.
Shape. A line 30 feet long and 5 feet wide.
Saving Throw. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier).
Damage. A creature takes 2d8 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The damage increases as you gain levels in this class:
3d8 at 6th level
4d8 at 10th level
5d8 at 14th level
Uses. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
King of the Tides
6th Level: King of the Tides
Your body adapts to crushing depths and endless seas.
You gain the following benefits:
Amphibious. You can breathe both air and water.
Deep Swimmer. You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
Crushing Grip. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage.
When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can attempt to grapple that creature as a bonus action.
Level 10: Nuclear Pulse
10th Level: Nuclear Pulse
While raging, you can release a violent shockwave of radiation from your body. As an action, each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier).
Damage. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d10 + your Constitution modifier + half your Barbarian level (rounded down) force damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
Control. On a failed save, a creature is also pushed 10 feet away from you and knocked prone.
Uses. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.
