Path of the Elegant Debutant

These barbarians tap into the primal powers that only beauty, grace and etiquette can offer. Mainly found in urban environments or serving in lavish palaces or courts, these individuals may be socialites, nobility, wealthy merchants or fashionistas. They utilise their charms to give them an edge in battle, confound their foes, and inspire their allies. They maintain their manners, poise and polite charms even when raging in the heat of battle.

Etiquette and Poise

As part of both your upbringing and strict training, likely with an etiquette coach or as part of a finishing school, you know how to mingle in high society.

You gain proficiency in an Intelligence, Charisma or Wisdom skill of your choice.

In addition, you gain expertise in any skill of your choice.

Alluring Fragrance

Whenever you enter a Rage, as part of the Bonus Action, you apply a special perfume, cologne or fragrance to yourself. Select one Fragrance from the list below The fragrance effects all creatures who can perceive scents within 10ft of you. Any creature that starts its turn within the range of your Fragrance or moves into it is effected until either your Rage ends, or they move out of the range. The chosen Fragrance never effects you.
