Path of Wild Magic (d100 table)

As folk of deep feeling, barbarians are especially susceptible to these wild influences, with some barbarians being transformed by the magic. These magic-suffused barbarians walk the Path of Wild Magic.

This is a Homebrewed version of the path of wild magic with a table as big as the wild magic sorcerer subclass and some additional changes. I'm confident its way more powerful than the normal Path of wild magic subclass especially later levels and hopefully even more fun (and not completely broken). Would love to hear any feedback you have so i can improve the subclass into what it always was meant to be!

(Took some inspiration from clericnick's version of the Path of Wild Magic Barbarian and the 2024 wild magic sorcerer subclass.)

Magic Awareness

3rd-level Path of Wild Magic feature

As an action, you can open your awareness to the presence of concentrated magic. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any spell or magic item within 60 feet of you that isn’t behind total cover. When you sense a spell, you learn which school of magic it belongs to.

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.

Wild Surge

3rd-level Path of Wild Magic feature

The magical energy roiling inside you sometimes erupts from you. When you enter your rage, roll on the Wild Magic table to determine the magical effect produced.

If the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. If the effect requires you to cast a spell you can do so while raging and without using a Magic action.

Bolstering Magic

6th-level Path of Wild Magic feature

You can harness your wild magic to bolster yourself or a companion. As an action, you can touch one creature (which can be yourself) and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature:

• For 10 minutes, whenever the creature makes an attack roll, ability check or saving throw the target adds 1d4 to the attack roll, ability check or save.
• Roll a d4. The creature regains one expended spell slot, the level of which equals the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). 

When you reach 14th level in this class, you increase the dice to a d6.

You can take this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Unstable Backlash

Immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw while raging, you can use your reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Wild Magic effect.

Magic Mimicry

14th-level Path of Wild Magic feature

Whenever another creature that you can see casts a spell a spell of 7th level or lower you can Counterspell it using a reaction as if casting Counterspell (at 5th level if using 2014 rules). If you successfully stop the spell, on your next turn you can choose to cast the same spell as if it originated from you. You can use this feature while raging.

When you reach 18th level in this class, you increase the maximal level you can counterspell to 9th and the level of the counterspell to 7th.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
