Path of the Junker

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Junker tend to come from more urban environments, and are used to getting by and reshaping the battlefield to their advantage amidst disorganized fights. With their incredible resilience and ability to do brutal damage, these barbarians are constant threats to their enemies, and reliable protectors to their allies.

 

This reliability is a trait that carries over to many other aspects of their day-to-day. Most notably, in the crafts honed by a life of work off the town's scraps.

For this feature to work, the space between you and the targeted creature must have the dimensions necessary for them to move through when pulled, otherwise it has no effect.

 

A NOTE ON CHAIN HOOK

Despite how this feature functions mechanically, you can work with your DM to re-flavor it into something that works better for your character or within the setting. Maybe for your character this feature is a magic force, pulling creatures towards them, or a weapon they use such as a trident or boomerang that does the same effect. It might even be a contraption built specifically by your character. playing into the tool proficiencies they gained.

At 10th level, you have gained so much experience with your abilities, that you have learnt how to use them to their maximum potential. Your Chain Hook feature can now be used up to a range of 60 feet and target a Huge or smaller creature.

 

In addition, if you did not use Chain Hook on your last turn and a creature that you can see within range casts a leveled spell, you can use your reaction to use your Chain Hook on that creature, cancelling the spell's casting on a hit.

 

You can only use Chain Hook in this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
