Path of the War Singer

The Path of the War Singer is heavily inspired by the Barbarian class in Diablo 2. Using AoE yelling to buff allies or debuff enemies. It adds versatility and an off-support option to the Barbarian class. It focuses slightly on charisma and adds a flavorful aspect of the barbarian as a warrior on the battlefield who yells various things during the fight.

The Barbarian in my eyes have often lacked things to do with their bonus actions, so the subclass attempts to fix that slightly by giving a variety of magic-like war cries to use on your bonus action when the time is right.

Feedback on balance, flavor, and names is greatly appreciated.
