Embodied Specialist

So many choices of tools for the battle can be quite overwhelming. Are you certain you know the different Techniques for a Sword compared to a Warhammer? Embodied Specialist Barbarians have considered this and thought the best path was to focus on one type of weaponry. They aim to hone their skills and fighting styles with just one specific type of weapon. This dedication to a single weapon type has given them the skills to do things with their weapons that are thought to be hard to master, or even impossible!

Bodily Extension

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, 

You gain an INK TOOL KIT that allows you to ink your weapons onto your body. You ink your skin with a symbol of your choice with the tool kit, then etch the same symbol onto the weapon you choose, and must finalize the process through concentration over a long rest. 
You may ink(attune) the amount of weapons equals to your CON mod + Half your Barbarian level. 
By choosing this subclass, you gain an extra +2 to your Proficiency Bonus for any weapon that falls under your subclass. Your focus of this one weapon type has made you less practiced with others, and you suffer -1 to any other weapon Proficiency you may get from your race or class features. 
(For Weapons that fall under more than 1 category, you must specify which category you are taking)

Weapon Subclasses:

• Axes [slashing] all types of axes, 1 or 2 handed, includes hatchets
• Swords [slashing] all types of swords, 1 or two handed, includes daggers
• Reach [piercing] all types of weapons that have the reach property i.e. glaives, javelins, pikes, 
• Blunt [bludgeon] all types of non-bladed melee weapons, including whips and nets,
• Thrown [piercing] all types of weapons that traditionally have the thrown property javelins, spears, hatchets, knives, tridents
• Traditional Ranged [piercing] bows, crossbows, slings, dart guns
• Complex Ranged [piercing] machined guns, black powder

Adding and removing attuned weapons. 

It takes the time equivalent to a long rest to attune to a weapon. The attunement process must be completed before the weapon will be transferred onto your body. The Ink must be placed on your skin (or casing for Warforged) and not on clothing or armor. Clothing and armor worn over your ink will not effect it's usage. 

The Ink Attunement process is a near permanent process, to remove an attuned weapon, you must use the branding stamp [a little steel branding iron that comes in the INK TOOL KIT] and burn the attunement symbol on your body, and then disturb the symbol on the weapon in any manner you choose. That part on your body that has been branded cannot be used for any future attunements. The recovery of the branding process is 4 days. 

 

 

Maximum Efficiency

You can use weapons you are attuned to in any manner you like and still have proficiency with it. If the Weapon is classified as bladed, you can use it to be blunt! You can now throw melee weapons that do not classify as thrown! and you can use ranged weapons as melee as well, all without losing the proficiency or the base damage die for the weapon. 

As a bonus action, you can now recall any thrown weapons. You must pass a base DEX SAVE of 12 to re-equip it, otherwise the weapon returns to it's tattoo state. 

Weapon Master

Your mastery of your weapon subclass grants you knowledge on how most people use the weapons. Beginning at 10th level, You now have advantage against all attacks that are made against you with a weapon that falls under your subclass.

Your subclass proficiency goes to +3 (stacks with your normal Proficiency Bonus) 

Strategic Maneuvering

You have learned how to recall your weapons to you, but now, you can go to your weapon! Starting at 14th level, As a bonus action, You can now teleport to your weapon, as long as you have line of sight of it. This is an instant teleportation that extends up to 60 feet horizontally and 20 feet vertically. This extends to some ammunition.  (unbroken arrows, bolts, sling ammo) You are immune to any attacks of opportunity. 

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your DEX mod + half your Barbarian level. Restore uses after a long rest.
