Base Class: Barbarian
Barbarians who follow the Path of the Random Direction don't know they are going . They let the whims of chaos dictate their actions and reap unpredictable rewards. Each battle becomes a gamble, each transformation a mystery—sometimes a gift, sometimes a curse. Their bodies shift, their minds twist, and even their words carry the weight of madness or strange insight.
They are feared not for their strength alone, but because even the gods cannot predict what they will become next.
Level 3: Random Activities
Beginning when you choose this path at 3rd level, you embrace the unpredictable nature of chaotic combat. Your rage fuels not only your strength, but your instinct for unorthodox tactics that yield surprising results.
Chaos Dice: At the start of each of your turns while you are raging, you roll two Chaos Dice. The Chaos Die is a d4. The lower of the two rolls determines the Chaotic Action, and the higher roll determines the Chaotic Outcome. If you successfully fulfill the requirement of the Chaotic Action during that turn, the Chaotic Outcome immediately takes effect. The size of your Chaos Die increases as you gain levels in this class: it becomes a d8 at 6th level and a d12 at 10th level.
Additional Damage: If you fulfill the Chaotic Action, you can deal slashing damage equal to the Chaotic Outcome roll to one creature you hit with a weapon attack or Unarmed Strike during that turn.

Example:
- At the start of your turn, you roll a 3 and a 2 on your Chaos Dice.
- The Chaotic Action is: "Rush - Move 20 ft in a straight line"
- The Chaotic Outcome is: "Enlarge - Until the end of your next turn, you grow one size unit and deal extra 1d4 damage per hit.
- You take your turn and choose to move 20 ft in a straight line - and are immediatly enlarged. You then strike the Goblin in front of you with your Axe, and its a hit! Bravo, you deal 3 extra slashing damage from the Chaotic Outcome and 1d4 extra damage from Enlarged.
Level 6: Whats the worst that could happen?
At 6th level, your unpredictable nature grows more intense. Your Chaos Dice become d8s.
In addition, when you make a Charisma (Deception), Charisma (Intimidation), Charisma (Performance), or Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can roll an additional d20. You use the result that is farthest from 10—either higher or lower. If both results are equally distant from 10, you use the higher result.
Level 10: What is Happening to Me?
At 10th level, the chaos within you deepens, warping both body and fate. Your Chaos Dice become d12s, reflecting the overwhelming surge of unpredictable power that courses through you during your rages.
After each long rest, you can expend one use of your Rage feature to allow chaos itself to take hold of you. When you do so, you enter a loud and unsettling state in which your body and mind begin to shift in strange and unexpected ways. Roll two Chaos Dice and consult the Chaotic Transformation Table below to determine your changes.
Each die roll results in a separate transformation that lasts for 24 hours. If both dice show the same number, that transformation becomes permanent, unless your DM rules otherwise. This restriction is intended to prevent stacking permanent effects through downtime.

Level 14: All Planned
Starting at 14th level, you can shape chaos itself to your will—just enough to survive it.
Whenever you roll your Chaos Dice as part of your Random Activities or What is Hapening to Me? or d20s in case of Whats the worst that could happen? features, you can roll three Dice instead of two. Then, choose one of the three dice and discard it. You use the remaining two dice to determine the outcome of the effect.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
