Path of the Hammer

A Barbarian who's rage stems from the systemic injustice committed against the working classes, and who uses their anger to aid their comrades on the picket line by intercepting strikes and weakening dangerous foes.

Strike!

At 3rd level you learn to harness your rage the swiftest moment against violent provocation.

When you take damage and are not already raging, you can use your reaction to enter a rage and may make a melee attack against a creature. If the attack is against a creature that just dealt damage to you, you make that attack with advantage.

An Injury to One

At 6th level, even while in in a state of blind rage you can hurl yourself into the path of oncoming danger to defend your comrades.

When raging, if a friendly creature within 10ft of you is attacked you may use your reaction to intercept the attack and take the damage instead.

Hammering from Without

At 10th level you learn how to weaken opponents so as to assist your comrades in holding the line.

When you deal a critical hit to a creature you learn it's Strength Score and AC and may choose to lower either by a number equal to your Rage bonus, if you are raging when this attack is made, you lower both. This effect lasts until that creature regains lost hit points or until your next long rest.

Which Side Are You On?

At 14th Level, the fury of your actions inspires your comrades on the picket line to fight with absolute ferocity.

When you enter a Rage you may choose 2 friendly creatures within 30ft of you that can see you. As long as you are raging, those creatures add +2 to Damage Rolls, advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws and have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
