Path of the Refugee

The Path of the Refugee uses the sorrow and rage of a home lost, ancestral or personal, through great cataclysm. Its draws power from the memories rooted deep in the pain of a whole people, channeled through you to take control of the immediate area as you enact your Rage. Taking control of your surroundings to take care of your allies and remove any unwanted guests, you control the battlefield with all the ferocity of an Abuela defending her home.

As your power grows, you can evoke the memories of great cataclysm to bring the elements and spirits down on all who come near. 

Home Is Where The Heart Is

You have learned to make home wherever you rest your head. Starting when you take this path at third level whenever you enter a rage you designate the immediate area as your Home. It has the following benefits:

• Any ally within your home receives half of your rage damage bonus rounded down. 
• You may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on one attack made on someone within your home.

Your Home is a 15 foot cube centered on yourself that moves with you. It expands to a 25 for cube when you reach 9th level

Some Days are Longer

Starting at 3rd level, you may ignore the effects of the first level of exhaustion. You must take a long rest before using this ability again.
