Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

Whilst some barbarians find their strength through nature or their raw power, a barbarian taking this path takes solace in their mental strength. Being able to focus their anger on the mind and soul of their quarry and end a fight before an opponent even has chance to think about their first move, now that is true power. Preferring a more mentally capable style of fighting, a barbarian of this path definitely stands out from the crowd, and as such tend to spend a lot of their time in solitude. This time alone however, is a great opportunity to expand one's mind and learn how to better control the unique path they have chosen.

Enraged Wisdom

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level you gain the following benefits whilst raging:

  • Proficiency in Wisdom saving throws
  • You may add your wisdom modifier to the first attack roll you make on each of your turns.

Scour the Mind

Beginning at 6th level you have grown quite mentally acute and can now focus your rage on the souls of those you fight. When entering a rage you may select one creature within 30ft of you. For as long as this rage lasts you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on any attack within 30ft that that creature makes against you. 

The range of the ability increases to 40ft at level 10 and 50ft at level 14.

Psychic Battlecry

Beginning at 10th level, you have grown so accustomed to your unique rage that you can now inflict psychic harm to your foes. As an action, you can unleash a deafening psychic shout. Enemies within 40ft that can hear you must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or take 3d6 psychic damage and become frightened of you. Any creature that succeeds the save takes half the damage, isn't frightened and becomes immune to this ability for 24 hours. A frightened creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of their turn, ending the condition on a success.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to half your Wisdom modifier rounded up (minimum  1). 

Soul Shred

Starting at 14th level, you have reached the peak of your mental strength and have mastered the art of psychological warfare. You gain resistance to psychic damage and whenever you take damage from an attack within 50ft you may use your reaction to deal psychic damage to the attacker equal to half the damage dealt to you.
