Base Class: Barbarian
Path of the Colossal Slayer
Some Barbarians hone their body so they might one day embody the spirit of the titans themselves. This manifests as a brutal fighting style that employs especially large weapons, wielded frenetically and dangerously.
Restriction: Size restrictions
Barbarians come in many shapes and sizes, races and genders, each as valid as the next; but Barbarians seeking to follow the Path of the Colossal Slayer must necessarily be a small model of physical size and passion. Any Barbarian that chooses this path must be small, and bear hatred to creatures larger than medium. These barbarians exist to defy the will of larger creatures, and stand up to even the biggest of threats.

Titanic Grip
Starting at level 3, you gain the ability to wield weapons with the Two-Handed property without disadvantage to your attack rolls due to your size, and while you're raging you get a +1 to damage rolls against targets larger than you for every size bigger than you.
Additionally, you gain proficiency in smiths tools to create, and maintain your unwieldly weapons.
Cleaving Blow
Starting at level 6, whenever you are raging, you may use your Action to make a cleaving blow, dealing damage to multiple creatures in a cone in front of you. The size of this cone is equal to 5' plus the average reach of the melee weapons you are wielding. Each creature in this cone must make a Dexterity Saving Throw. The DC for this saving throw is 8 + your Proficiency Modifier + your Strength Modifier. Each creature in this cone takes damage equal to the combined weapon dice per creature spread evenly amongst all creatures in the cone; or half this damage instead for creatures that succeed on their saving throw. This attack cannot strike through objects larger than small, and will limit the cones radius if objects, terrain, walls, or other obstructions are present.
You can only use Cleaving Blow once per short rest.
Additionally, if a huge or larger creature fails their Dexterity save they must make a Strength save with the same DC or fall prone.
Titanic Stature
Starting at level 10, you have advantage on Constitution Saving Throws, and whenever a creature larger than medium is the target of intimidation you roll your intimidation checks with advantage if you rage in the same turn.
Additionally, when you determine your Carrying Capacity or your Lifting/Pushing/Pulling capacity, you may treat your character's size as though it were Huge, and attacks with weapons with the Two-handed property are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances.
Titanic Rage
Starting at level 14, you can unleash the fury of your Titanic Power in a single act of defiance. You may use a alternate form of rage called Titanic rage, that when activated in the presence of a huge or larger creature, doubled the bonus of titanic grip against large or larger creatures. Additionally when activated force a huge or larger creature to make a Wisdom Saving Throw against a DC of 8+Proficiency+Constitution or become frightened for one minute.
Titanic Rage can only be used once per long rest.
