Path of the Separate Mind (Fix)

Barbarians are defined by their rage, channeling emotion to unleash brief but potent destruction on their enemies. A rare few study esoteric psychological techniques that split their rage off from the rest of their psyche, dividing their identity into two parts: ego and id. When their ego is in control, the Fractured—as these barbarians are known—are capable of a degree of self-control and cunning few other barbarians are. When they allow their id to take control, their countenance turns monstrous and their bodies swell with the power of rage made physically manifest.

Face of Rage

3rd-level Path of the Separate Mind feature

 

Starting at 3rd level, when you enter your rage, your features distort and your body swells such that your appearance completely changes. Creatures who don’t witness your transformation and have not witnessed it in the past do not recognize you. In addition, while raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:

• You can roll a 1d8 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike, and your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
• When you use the attack action with an unarmed strike and are not wielding a shield, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.
• You count as one size larger when determining who you can target and who can target you with grappling.

 

Mask Of Civility

Also at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with one of the following skills of your choice: Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Persuasion, or Religion. In addition, you gain proficiency with one artisan’s tool kit of your choice or learn to read, speak, and write one language of your choice.

10th-level Path of the Separate Mind feature

Better Half

14th-level Path of the Separate Mind feature 

When you activate your Relentless Rage feature, you can use your reaction to gain THP (Temporary Health Points) equal to your Barbarian level. In addition, if you were raging, your rage ends, and if you weren’t raging, you enter a rage (even if you have no remaining uses of your rage). You lose all remaining temporary hit points after 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
