Path of The Chrysalis

Those that choose to walk the path of the Chrysalis take their time to blossom. Instead of unbounded rage, the tribes that follow such creed are taught to let their transformation take form, shedding their carapace by the hands of their enemies, until it is time to unleash.

Power Cocoon

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your rage creates a heavy carapace that hones your physical capabilities. Whenever you rage, you gain temporary hit points equal to your barbarian level + your constituion modifier + your rage damage bonus. They last until your rage ends.

While you have any of these hit points, you are in 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺. Your weight is doubled and you can't be moved or knocked prone unwillingly. Also, whenever you are attacked by a creature within 5 feet of you, you may use your reaction to attempt to grapple that creature.

When you lose all the hit points from this feature while raging, you take an 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺. During it, if you move more than 10 feet on your turn, and only to move closer to an enemy, you can make one melee attack as a bonus action.

Enhanced Transformation

At 6th level your carapace hardens, and both your forms are enhanced.

While in 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺, your carapace gives you +2 AC.

If an attack misses you because of this feature, it still counts as damage for sustaining your Rage, as it merely bounces off your skin. You also gain resistance to fire and poison damage.

While in 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺, your agility and strength are heightened even more. Your total jumping distance becomes equal to your walking speed. Also, whenever you hit an enemy with your special action during or right after a jump, the creature takes extra damage equal to your constitution modifier, as you put your entire weight into the strike.

Reassemble Disassemble

At 10th level you learn to control your forms perfectly. Once per rage, you may use a bonus action to return to 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺 and gain the same number of temporary hit points as if you raged.

Alternatively, you can also shed your 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺 instantenously as a bonus action. All creatures in a 10 feet radius around you take damage equal to the amount of temporary hit points you had as it explodes in all directions.

Apotheosis

You reached the pinnacle of the physical anatomy, and your body is accostumed to the weight of the carapace as if it were your own. At 14th level, you receive the benefits of both forms constantly during your rage.
