Path of the Feral Beast

Some warriors rage like fire—brief, bright, and spent. Others let fury burn slow and cold, sharpening their hate like a blade. But those who follow the Path of the Feral Beast? They don't burn. They hunger.

There's no ceremony to it. No ancestor’s whisper or vision from beyond. One day, the red haze doesn’t fade. You bite down, and don’t stop. You tear muscle from bone and it feels right. You feel faster. Stronger. Your fingers curl like claws and you learn you can run on all fours if you want to. You don’t choose the Beast. It chooses you. And if it doesn’t eat you whole, it shows you how to feed.

These barbarians don’t wear pelts or paint themselves with tribal sigils. The marks they wear are scars—taken and given. They are trackers, maulers, and stalkers who don’t fight clean because nature doesn’t. They mark their prey and pursue with terrifying focus, never stopping, never slowing, even through blood and bone and fire.

Veterans of this path learn to fight like animals and think like predators. The strong live. The weak run. The clever hide. The feral… hunt. And once you hear them in the brush behind you, it’s already too late.

They aren’t called beasts as an insult.
It’s a warning.

Upon taking on the Path of the feral beast, your prey will forever be hunted. When you hit a creature, you can use a bonus action to mark it until it dies, you die, you’re incapacitated or you use this feature again. While a target is marked this way:

The target can attempt to break free at the end of its turn by making an Athletics check against your Athletics check.
