Base Class: Barbarian
Known as Kuldjargh (literally “axe idiot”) in Dwarvish, battleragers are followers of the gods of war and take the Path of the Battlerager. They specialize in wearing spikes all over and throwing themselves into combat, striking with their body itself and giving themselves over to the fury of battle.
Battlerager Armor
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you learn how to use a special type of medium armor known as spiked armor.
While wearing spiked armor your unarmed attack deals 1d4 piercing damage instead of the usual 1.
When you use the Attack action to grapple or shove a creature while wearing spiked armor, the target takes 3 piercing damage if your Athletics check succeeds. If you are raging you add your rage damage bonus to this.
SPIKED ARMOR
Spiked armor comes in two varieties, the most common is a modified scale mail however for 750 gp you can buy a version that is based off of halfplate.
Armor Class: 14 + Dex (max +2)
Stealth: Disadvantage
Cost: 75 gp
Weight: 45 lb.Note: Enchanted Spiked Armor adds its armor bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the armor as well as unarmed attacks however it requires attunement.
Lash Out
While you are wearing spiked armor and are raging, you can use a bonus action to make one unarmed attack with your armor spikes against a target within 5 feet of you, for 1d4 piercing damage. You use your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
Reckless Abandon
Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). They vanish if any of them are left when your rage ends.
Battlerager Charge
