Path of the Mage's Bane

Barbarians are naturally worried about the implications of magic users. Whether it be through superstition, witnessing the immense power and destruction it can bring, or any other reason they can think of. Their rage becomes so great against magic that it can shield them from effects and grant them the ability of hunting and killing magic users. 

Mages indulging in their studies or concurring an area capture those that they see as lesser than, experimenting and discovering secrets. Then, said wizards, warlocks, and others made a weapon that would be a mage's bane. these creations would be able to push themselves through the mage's rival, acting as staunch protectors or an ultimate weapon. 

At first, the goal was self-preservation, over time wizards warred as they are would do and warlocks hungered for power. Each with their own motives, spellcasters from near and far battled alongside their own creations. For generations, spellcasters and those seeking protection from magic have surrounded themselves with these fierce creations being used as bodyguards or fierce weapons. Some choose this life. More were forced into it.

How you came to this path is up to you. For inspiration, consult the table below. 

d8	I came to the path of the mage's bane when…
1	I was kidnapped by the cult of a dark god and branded against my will.
2	A spellcaster hurt someone close to me, and I chose this path, because that will never happen again.
3	I completed my initiation into an organization of mage hunters who combat spellcasters at every turn.
4	I came of age, from a long line of mage hunters. This is my heritage and my legacy.
5	I took vows to protect my clan, who mistrust and fear magic. I am their defender.
6	I was a bodyguard for an influential spellcaster.
7	I was once a spellcaster, myself, but was tortured and turned into what I am today.
8	I have no memory of my life before. It’s all a haze.

Destroy the Witch

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to capture some of the incoming energy of spells, lessening its effect on you and increasing your rage against your foes. While you are raging, as a reaction, when you take damage or make a saving throw against a spell, you have resistance to the triggering damage type and gain advantage against the saving throw until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, minimum 1. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

In addition, when you take damage from a spell or make a saving throw against a spell, your bonus rage damage is doubled until the end of your next turn.

Sense Magic
