Path of the Brutortle

Brutortles (literally tortle brutes) are barbarians who use their tortle shell in ways many do not think would be mortally possible, and are experts at using their own body for destroying those who stand defiantly against them.

Prerequisite: Tortles Only

You can only choose this primal path if you are a tortle.

Shell Slam

At 3rd level, you can use your normally defensive shell as a powerful weapon. As an action on your turn, you can slam your shell onto a target in front of you, going into the ground. Make an attack roll, in which you are proficient. If it hits, it deals 1d10 plus half of your strength score bludgeoning damage, and the target must be large or smaller. Afterward, the target must suceed on a strength saving throw (DC 10) or be knocked prone. After this attack, you are prone as well. This attack can only be used a number of times equal to your constitution modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short rest.

Improved Shell Defense

 At 6th level, your shell's defensive structure is improved. When determining your AC, you can add half of your constitution modifier to your AC.

Shellshock

At 10th level, you learn to accelerate to violent speeds while inside of your shell. As an action on your turn, if you are in your shell, you can start rapidly spinning. During this state, you can move up to your full speed, and if any creature is in your way when you move, they must succeed on a dexterity saving throw (DC 15 + Your Proficiency bonus) or take 2d12 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The creature can only be knocked prone if they are at most one size larger than you. Every turn while spinning, you must make a DC 10 constitution saving throw, with the DC increasing by 5 every turn you are spinning. On a fail, you stop spinning and cannot leave your shell for 1 turn, regardless of if you have a bonus action to do so. You do not have to make this saving throw if you are raging. If you hit a creature with your shell, you exit your shell with no action required.

Supreme Brutortle

At 14th level, your brutortle mastery is at its peak. Your full constitution modifier can be added to your AC, unless it exceeds 24, and your slam attack uses your full strength score. Additionally, your shell is a bulwark of protection. When you are hit with an attack, you can use your reaction to shield it with your shell. This reduces the damage by half, and will stack with your rage damage reduction. This shell block can only be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you gain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
