Path of the Battlerager (HB version)

Known as Kuldjargh (literally "axe idiot") in Dwarvish, battleragers are dwarf followers of the gods of war and take the Path of the Battlerager. They specialize in wearing bulky, spiked armor and throwing themselves into combat, striking with their body itself and giving themselves over to the fury of battle.

Restriction: Dwarves Only

Only dwarves can follow the Path of the Battlerager. The battlerager fills a particular niche in dwarven society and culture.

Your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign. The restriction exists for the Forgotten Realms. It might not apply to your DM's setting or your DM's version of the Realms.

Battlerager Armor

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to use Spiked Armor as a weapon.

While you are wearing spiked armor and raging:

• You can use a bonus action to make one melee weapon attack with your armor spikes against a target within 5 feet of you. If the attack hits, the spikes deal 1d6 piercing damage. You use your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
• When you use the Attack action to grapple a creature, the target takes 5 plus your strength modifier piercing damage if your grapple check succeeds.
• You can be thrown as an improvised weapon with a range of 30/60 (the thrower has to be able to lift you), you do 2d4 piercing damage.

Reckless Abandon

Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to 1d6 plus your Constitution modifier. They vanish if any of them are left when your rage ends.

Battlerager Charge

Beginning at 10th level, you can take the Dash action as a bonus action while you are raging.
Additionally,  the thrower doesn't have disadvantage when throwing you at long range.

Spiked Retribution

Starting at 14th level, when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, the attacker takes 2d8 piercing damage if you are raging, aren't incapacitated, and are wearing spiked armor. This damage uses your strength modifier.
