Path of the Accursed

There is a place beyond time, filled with malignant intelligence and ruinous intent. This is the Accursed Archive – the singular repository of all knowledge known to mortal men, populated with the darkest of secrets and the foulest of heresies. You managed to find a tome of these blighted mysteries and stepped through the door to nowhere that led to the Archive at some point in your past, yet your mind cracked under the weight of the knowledge contained within and the horrible vistas of forgotten power that stood just within your feeble mortal grasp. Now you have finally realized that the true source of your furious rage is both defiance and acceptance of the madness that lies within the Accursed Archive.

What the Moon Brings

Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can choose to allow a Silent One to lash out from within your skin, ensnaring another unwary soul and twisting their flesh from its good purpose. Choose a creature within 30 feet of you. The target must make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your own Strength (Athletics) check. If the target fails, the tendril snares them and drags them into the closest open space near you, and the creature gains one level of exhaustion. A creature cannot be affected by this feature more than once per turn.

The Lurking Fear

At 3rd level, you have yet to come to terms with what you have witnessed within the Archive, and in your bouts of rage you ramble about these twisted things even as your tongue fights to stop. You gain resistance to all damage inflicted by frightened creatures while you are raging.

Whenever you are raging, each creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Once a creature fails this saving throw, it can’t be frightened by this feature again for one minute.

Additionally, you can use your Charisma modifier in place of your Intelligence modifier when making skill checks and saving throws.

(PUBLISHER NOTE: There is no way to automatically create/calculate the frightened DC during your rage, or to change your intelligence modifier to Charisma for skill checks. Please just be aware how this feature works and that you may have to calculate things on your own.)

From Beyond

Starting at 6th level, your words seem to cut at the minds of those who listen even more horribly than before. You can cast dark secret once, and you recover this use whenever you enter a rage. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

The Thing on the Doorstep

At 10th level, your hallucinations slowly enter reality, as the dark tendrils of the Silent One move at the corners of your vision. Whenever you enter a rage, you can choose to unleash the horrors that dwell within your mind upon the world. Choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to or less than your Charisma modifier. Each one is pulled to an open space within 5 feet of you, or the nearest available space, by massive tendrils that spawn from the air around you. Until the end of your turn, when the tendrils disappear, you cannot suffer disadvantage from any source on any check made to grapple one of these creatures.
