- Equipment (Cobblestone,Boulders,Sack to Hold Cobblestones)
- Attack Types, to use said rocks as weapons (with level and Class selection requirements)
- Bonus Action specific to duel wielding Cobblestones
Let me know your thoughts, specially on the rock weapons and attacks. I want to convince my DM to let me roll this character next campaign. I attempted to make it colorful for a "Fezzik", but balanced. Cobblestone attacks are mirrored after War Hammer and Heavy Crossbow for damages(much less range). Boulder attacks can only be used by Barbearians who have selected "Aspect of the Bear" at lvl 6, due to the increased lifting/carrying strength this adds. Also, the Boulder attacks (4d10 + 1 STR) are such high damage due to the use of them negating the Extra Attack he would get at lvl 5. Therefore, I figured the damage needed to have a slightly higher average than 2 Maul attacks, to make it a more risk/reward option over doing two Maul attacks. (4d6+ 2 STR's)
Since Fezzik preferred to fight “No twicks, no weapons, skill against skill alone. As God intended.” I might go for a Monk theme (probably Open Hand) instead of Barbarian.
Actually, I thought about it and I would probably home brewed a blend of Fighter (Champion) with no weapon/armor proficiencies, a d12 HD, a “fight mode” (rage reskinned to not be angry) and the new unarmed fighting style in the UA. And maybe a few WotOH features. Tavern Brawler feat of course and probably Goliath as the base race.

I just did barbarian for the Aspect of the Bear. Thinking that would justify strength to throw big rocks as weapons
Yeah, but Fezzik hates the idea of throwing rocks as weapons. That’s why he challenged the Man in Black to a fist fight instead.

A fair 1v1 against another man is one thing. Fighting groups of beasts/monsters and Fezzik may have not cared so much about honor.
"I haven't fought only one man in so long I'm a little rusty. You use different moves when fighting a bunch."

Well he didn't get pinpoint accuracy throwing rocks without alot of practice, so theres that, lol
Fezzik: "I just figured why you give me so much trouble."
Man In Black: "Why is that..." [crushed into a rock] "...do you think?"
Fezzik: "Well, I haven't fought one person for so long. I've been specialized in groups, battling gangs for local charities. That kind of thing."
Man In Black: "Why should that make such a..." [crushed into another rock] "...difference?"
Fezzik: "You use different moves... when you're fighting half a dozen people... than when you only have to be worried” [falls] “about...one..."

"I don't think that word means what you think it means."
"You are wonderful" "Well I do try, but why are you smiling?" "I know a secret." "Oh, do tell." "I'm not left handed." … "I'm not left handed either."
Pure Genius.
