Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

A barbarian’s rage goes deeper than their emotions and taps into their very soul. Some who draw their rage from these depths find something lying dormant within them; the blood of giants. Those whose ancestry is mingled with giants may be unaware of the blood that flows in their veins. Unusually tall or strong for their race, those of giant blood are fairly obvious once you know what to look for.

You are one such descendant of a giant. As someone who follows the path of the Titan, you seek to embrace the power of your ancestors that lies deep within your soul. Only pure rage can unlock these long dormant powers.

Rage of the Colossus

At 3rd level, you tap into the giant blood that lies dormant in your veins when you rage. When you rage, you can choose to grow from your current size category to Large. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you gain the following benefits:

  • Your size doubles in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. If there isn't enough room for you to double your size, you attain the maximum possible size in the space available.
  • Your weapons also grow to match your new size, and their increased mass means attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.

Giant-Kin

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, your giant blood begins to manifest changes in your physique. Roll 2d4. Your height permanently increases by a number of inches equal to the roll, and your weight increases by a number of pounds equal to 2d8 x the number of inches you grow.

Additionally, your hit point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level in this class.
