Path of the Titan

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Titan wield their strength as more than brute force. Through instinct, rage, and an unshakable bond with the land, they channel the earth itself into every swing of a bludgeoning weapon. With each strike, they fracture stone, topple armies, and leave shockwaves that reverberate long after their rage has quieted.

Titans do not master many techniques — instead, they perfect a few devastating Slams, finishing blows that embody their primal might. Where another barbarian’s swing might end one foe, a Titan’s Slam scatters legions and cracks the very ground beneath their feet.

3rd Level Feature: Titan’s Slam

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you learn to channel seismic force into devastating finishing blows called Slams. You learn one slam upon selecting this subclass at level 3. You then learn more slams when you reach certain levels in this class. You learn an extra slam at 6th level, 10th level, and 14th level. You also gain access to higher level slams upon reaching 10th level. You may also change your slams upon gaining a level in this class.

Once per turn while raging, when you take the Attack action with a bludgeoning weapon, you can expend a slam charge to replace one attack you make as part of the attack action with a Slam. You start with 3 slam charges upon picking the sub class, and you gain another slam charge upon reaching 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th level. You regain all expended slam charges upon completing a long rest.

When rolling damage for your slams, you also add your rage damage bonus and strength modifier to your slams. If a slam would require someone to roll a saving throw, the slam save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + strength modifier.

 

 Slams:

Hammer of the Gods (Level 10)

You summon the fury of a divine hammer to obliterate your foes. This Slam costs 2 slam charges instead of one. Target one creature which you can see within 30 feet. The target must make a dexterity saving throw against your Slam Save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d12 force damage, or half as much on a success. After the strike, each other creature of your choice within 10 feet of the target must make a Strength saving throw against your Slam Save DC. On a failed save, creatures are pushed 10 feet away from the center and are knocked prone.

The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 5d12 at 14th level.

The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d12 at 6th level, and 3d12 at 14th level.

 Adaptations:

Aftershock

At the end of your turn if you used a slam during the attack action, roll 1d20. Upon rolling a 18 - 20, the slam causes an aftershock within the ground. Roll the damage of the slam again, any creature that failed the Slam Save DC takes half of the total rolled as bludgeoning damage.

Any creature that fails the saving throw against your Slam Save DC is restrained until the end of your next turn

This only applies to the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder.

Pressuring Slams

If a creature that fails a saving throw against your Slam Save DC and takes damage while concentrating on a spell, they have disadvantage on the saving throw to maintain that concentration.

After making a reckless slam, you may not use slams until the end of your next turn, and attacks made against you have advantage until the beginning of your next turn.
