Whether it's your family, your adventuring party, your squad mates, even your hometown, there is always someone you want to protect. They may not understand your frenzy, your bloodlust, but you know it is for their own good. You will slaughter anyone who dares threaten the ones you love, and you will fight until your dying breath to ensure their survival. 

Sworn Protector

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you create a bond with those close to you, vowing to protect them at any cost. At the end of a long rest, choose creatures up to your Constitution modifier (Minimum 1) as Wards. Any feature that affects a Ward will apply to these creatures. 

While you can see a Ward, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Intimidation checks against creatures that are hostile to the Ward.
• If a Ward falls unconscious, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Barbarian level.
• If a creature attacks a Ward, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature until the end of your next turn.

At Any Cost

You will willingly put yourself in harm's way to protect those you love. At 6th level, as a reaction when a Ward within 5 feet of you takes damage from an attack while you are raging, you can take that damage instead. You can do this up to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) every short rest.

Against All Odds

Inferior numbers mean nothing to you. They threatened your comrades, and in doing so have signed their own death warrants. Starting at 10th level, you gain AC equal to your Constitution modifier (Minimum 1) while you are currently engaged with more enemies than you have allies.

Nothing More to Lose

Starting at 14th level, when a Ward falls unconscious, you let out a cry of anguish, tearing into your foes in the hopes that your fury will inspire them to keep breathing. For the duration that a Ward is unconscious and you are raging, you can add your Constitution modifier (minimum 1) to your damage rolls. This bonus is doubled against the creature that landed the final blow against the Ward.
