Storm Soul

All barbarians harbor a fury within. Their rage grants them superior strength, durability, and speed.  Some have it bred within their soul, these barbarians learn to tap into that rage manifesting it as a storm which swirls around them.  When in a fury, a barbarian of this path taps into the natural forces of a storm, creating magical effects.

Storm souls are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect the trees of life. Some storm souls live among the calamity of regions wracked by storms.  You will find them where the winds whip, where life is flooded, and near the lightning strikes.

Storm Aura

Starting at 3rd level, your rage taps into the storm of your soul, emanating a magical aura. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.

Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose wind, lightning, or rain. Your aura’s effect depends on that chosen aspect, as detailed below. You can change your aspect choice whenever you gain a level in this class.

If your aura’s effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Lightning

When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw.
