The Barbarian adopts a spirit animal as guide, guardian, and inspiration on the Path of the Totem Warrior, which is a spiritual journey. Your totem spirit gives you extraordinary strength in battle, lending magical fuel to your barbarian anger.
To most barbarian cultures, a totem animal is considered kin to a specific clan. It is unusual for a person to have more than one totem animal spirit in such instances, though exceptions do arise.
Seeker of Spirits
Yours is a road that leads to a greater understanding of the natural world and a bond with animals. When you choose this path at 3rd level, you acquire the ability to cast the Beast Sense and Speak with Animals spells as rituals.
Spirit of the Totem
When you take this route at the third level, you choose a totem spirit and receive its feature. You must create or obtain a real totem object - an amulet or similar ornamentation – that contains the totem animal's fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones. You can also choose to develop minor physical characteristics that are similar to your totem spirit. If you have a bear totem spirit, for example, you may become exceptionally hairy and thick-skinned, or if you have an eagle totem, your eyes may turn bright yellow.
Your totem animal may be one of the animals listed here, but it is more relevant to your homeland. You could, for example, substitute a hawk or vulture for an eagle.
Bear. You are immune to all damage except psychic damage while raged. The bear's spirit gives you the strength to face every challenge.
Eagle. Other creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls against you while you're enraged and not wearing heavy armor, and you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. The eagle's soul transforms you into a predator who can effortlessly maneuver through the crowd.
Elk. Your walking speed increases by 15 feet while enraged and without wearing heavy armor. The elk spirit imbues you with incredible speed.
Tiger. You can increase your long jump distance by 10 feet and your high jump distance by 3 feet while enraged. Your leaps are aided by the tiger's soul.
Wolf. While you're enraged, your friends receive an advantage on melee attack rolls against any hostile creature within 5 feet of you. The wolf's spirit transforms you into a hunter's leader.
