A creature can repeat this saving throw at the start of each turn, ending the effect on a success. A creature that succeeds
on this saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
Path of the Reaver
While most Barbarians focus on overcoming their foes with raw power and brute force, those known as Reavers augment their impressive strength with martial technique and tactical maneuvers. These fearless warriors are often employed as advance forces, and their combat skill and resilience strikes fear into the heart of any who stand against them in battle.
| Barbarian Level | Primal Path Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Swift Strides, Savage Superiority |
| 6th | Improved Technique |
| 10th | Unstoppable Warrior |
| 14th | Storm of Flesh and Steel |
Swift Strides
3rd-level Path of the Reaver feature
Rather than become blinded by Rage, you enter a heightened state of focus and move with purpose. When you are Raging, opportunity attacks against you are made at disadvantage, and whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to move or jump, you gain a bonus to the roll equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of +1).
Savage Superiority
3rd-level Path of the Reaver feature
You have studied martial techniques to enhance your ability on the fields of battle. You gain the features below:
Maneuvers. You learn two Maneuvers of your
choice from the list at the end of this Primal Path.
You can use only one Maneuver per attack. When
you gain a level, you can replace one Maneuver you
know with another Manuever of your choice.
Superiority Dice. You have three Superiority Dice, which are d6s. You must expend one of your Superiority Dice to use one of the Maneuvers you know, and you regain all expended Superiority Dice when you finish a short or long rest.
Saving Throws. Some of your Maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the Maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
Improved Technique
6th-level Path of the Reaver feature
Your combat prowess rivals that of heroes of great renown. You gain one additional Superiority Die (for a total of four), and all of your Superiority Dice become d8s.
You also learn one additional Maneuver of your choice.
Unstoppable Warrior
10th-level Path of the Reaver feature
The chaos of battle heightens your reflexes. While you are Raging, you gain the benefits of freedom of movement.
You also learn one additional Maneuver of your choice.
Storm of Flesh and Steel
14th-level Path of the Reaver feature
You have reached the pinnacle of your training, and woe to any who stand against you on the field of battle. You gain a final Superiority Die (for a total of five), and your Superiority Dice become d10s. If you enter a Rage with no Superiority Dice remaining, you regain one Superiority Die.
You also learn one additional Maneuver of your choice.

Path of the Titan
Some Barbarians draw their Rage from their ancestry. Those who walk the Path of the Titan fuel their Rage with the giant blood that flows in their veins. While some Titanic warriors are direct descendants of giants, some are unaware of their heritage until it manifests with their Rage. Unusually tall or strong for their race, mortals with giant blood in their veins are fairly obvious once you know the signs to look for.
| Barbarian Level | Primal Path Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Fury of the Titans, Giant Bloodline |
| 6th | Titanic Vitality |
| 10th | Awakened Bloodline |
| 14th | Titanic Wrath |
Fury of the Titans
3rd-level Path of the Titan feature
The fury of your Rage draws out the ancient power of your bloodline. When you Rage, you gain the following benefits:
- If there is room, you can choose to grow by one size category for the duration of that Rage. For example, you grow from Medium to Large. Your physical size doubles
in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. - Your melee and thrown weapon attacks deal bonus damage depending on your current size: Medium (1d4), Large (1d6), Huge (1d12), and Gargantuan (2d12).
Giant Bloodline
3rd-level Path of the Titan feature
Whether by magic or ancestry, you bear the power of giants. Choose the option below that best fits the type of giant whose power resides in you. This choice will affect features you gain later from this Path. You gain resistance to the damage type associated with that giant. This choice is permanent and can't be changed short of a wish or the magic of elder giants.
| Giant | Element |
|---|---|
| Hill | Bludgeoning |
| Stone | Psychic |
| Frost | Cold |
| Giant | Element |
|---|---|
| Fire | Fire |
| Cloud | Thunder |
| Storm | Lightning |
Titanic Vitality
6th-level Path of the Titan feature
Your Rage draws out an ever-increasing amount of resilience from the power that flows in your blood. When you Rage, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Barbarian level.
Awakened Bloodline
10th-level Path of the Titan feature
The power of your blood is apparent at all times. You gain the features below that correspond to your Giant Bloodline:
Hill Giant
Your body has grown strangely resilient. You have advantage on Constitution saving throws, and when you take damage while Raging, you can use a reaction to reduce the damage you take by your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).
Stone Giant
You have become thoughtful. You gain proficiency in Insight, and whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check you treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8. Moreover, whenever you make a Wisdom saving throw while Raging, you gain a bonus to your roll equal to your Constitution modifier.
Frost Giant
You become especially savage in battle. When you hit a target with a weapon attack, you deal a bonus 1d6 cold damage on hit. If you deal cold damage to a creature while Raging, its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.
Fire Giant
You have become vindictive and cruel. While you are wearing armor you can use your Constitution, in place of Dexterity, to calculate your Armor Class. Also, when you are hit by a
melee attack while Raging, you can use a reaction to deal fire damage to the attacker equal to your Constitution modifier.
Cloud Giant
You have become more whimsical and lighthearted. You gain resistance to falling damage, and while you are Raging, you can take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action.
Storm Giant
You have grown in pride and presence. You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you can breathe both air and water. Moreover, while you are Raging, you can cause any thrown weapon attacks you make to deal lighting damage in place of the normal damage for that weapon.
Titanic Wrath
14th-level Path of the Titan feature
You can strike with the power of a true giant. When you take the Attack action while Raging, you can focus all your power into one strike. You make one attack for this action, even if you have a feature that lets you make more then one attack. On hit, it becomes a critical hit, regardless of your attack roll.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once) and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Path of the Warden
Hailing from the wild places of the world where the power of nature reigns supreme, Wardens are servants of the natural order who use the raw power of their Rage to channel spirits of the natural world. They often serve as defenders of sacred groves, Druidic Circles, and other places of natural power.
| Barbarian Level | Primal Path Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Primal Magic, Primal Rage |
| 6th | Guardian's Fury |
| 10th | Ward of the Ancients |
| 14th | Improved Guardian's Fury |
Primal Magic
3rd-level Path of the Warden feature
When you adopt this Primal Path, you learn to channel the primal power of spirits to cast spells, much like a Shaman.
Cantrips. You learn one cantrip of your choice from the Warden spell list. Upon reaching 10th level in this class you learn one additional Warden cantrip of your choice.
Spell Slots. The Warden Primal Magic table shows how many spell slots you have, and the level of those spell slots. All of your spell slots from this feature are the same level. To cast one of the Warden spells you know of 1st-level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all of your expended spell slots each time you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 7th level, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell thunderwave, you must spend one of those slots, and cast it as a 2nd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You learn two
1st-level spells of your choice from the warden spell list. The Spells Known column of the Warden Spellcasting table shows when you learn more warden spells of 1st-level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level.
When you gain a level, you can choose a warden spell you know and replace it with another spell from the warden spell list, which must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
When you reach 7th level, for example, you learn a new Warden spell of your choice, which can be 1st or 2nd-level.
Spellcasting Ability. As you draw your magic from your connection to primal spirits, Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your warden spells. You use Wisdom when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability, when setting the saving throw DC for a spell, or when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus
+ your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus
+ your Wisdom modifier
Primal Rage
3rd-level Path of the Warden feature
You have learned to draw on primal magic, even in your Rage. You can cast Warden spells while you're Raging, but you have disadvantage on any Constitution saving throws you make to maintain concentration on your Warden spells.
Also, casting a spell of 1st-level or higher allows your Rage to continue, even if you don't meet the other requirements.
Guardian's Fury
6th-level Path of the Warden feature
Your instincts allow you to combine your primal magic with strikes. When you take the Attack action while Raging, you can cast a Warden cantrip in place of one of your attacks.
Moreover, you can use Reckless Attack when you cast a Warden spell that requires a spell attack roll.
Ward of the Ancients
10th-level Path of the Warden feature
You can draw upon your connection to the natural world to shield you from harmful magics. When a creature that you can see damages you with a spell, you can use your reaction to expend a spell slot of 1st-level or higher to grant yourself resistance to all damage from the triggering spell.
Improved Guardian's Fury
14th-level Path of the Warden feature
Your Rage and connection with primal spirits have fused to become something that rivals the great destructive forces of nature. When you take the Attack action while Raging, you can cast a Warden spell in place of one of your attacks.

The magic of your bloodline
allows you to exhale blasts of
draconic energy. As a action,
you can force creatures in an
adjacent 30-foot cone to make

Constitution modifier). Creatures take
8d6 damage of your Element type on a failed

Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. If you have no uses left, you can expend a use of Rage to use this feature one more time.
Draconic Wings
14th-level Path of the Wyrmblood feature

Alternate Primal Paths
Below are alternate versions of official Primal Paths for the Barbarian that may be found by some to be underwhelming or have mechanics that are considered overly punishing.
| The Alternate Battlerager | The Alternate Berserker |
Alternate Battlerager
The Path of the Battlerager was originally published in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and is widely accepted as an underwhelming subclass for the Barbarian. The Alternate Battlerager presented here is an attempt to bring this Primal Path up to par with the other official barbarian subclasses.
| Barbarian Level | Primal Path Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Savage Smith, Spiked Armor |
| 6th | Reckless Abandon |
| 10th | Battlerager Charge |
| 14th | Spiked Retribution |
Savage Smith
3rd-level Path of the Battlerager feature

You also gain proficiency with heavy armor, and can Rage while you are wearing heavy armor without the drawbacks.
Spiked Armor
3rd-level Path of the Battlerager feature
You have learned to modify your armor so you can use it as a weapon. Over the course of an hour, which can be during a short or long rest, you can use smith's tools to affix spikes to a set of armor, turning it into Spiked Armor. Spiked Armor has the following properties, but only when worn by you:
- It counts as a martial melee weapon with a reach of 5 feet,
and on hit, a Spiked Armor attack deals piercing damage
equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier. - While you are Raging, you can use a bonus action on
your turn to make a single Spiked Armor attack. - When you successfully initiate a grapple, the grappled creature also takes 1d4 piercing damage.
At certain levels, the of your Spiked Armor increases: at 5th level (1d6), 11th level (1d8), and 17th level (1d12).
Reckless Abandon
6th-level Path of the Battlerager feature

In addition, you can turn magical armor into Spiked Armor.
Optional Rule: Dwarves Only
In some settings, only dwarves can train to become Battleragers - known as Kuldjarghs in Dwarvish. The GM can elect to use this restriction depending on the setting and cultures present in the game world.
Battlerager Charge
10th-level Path of the Battlerager feature
Your battle fury compels you to throw yourself into danger. You can take the Dash action as a bonus action while Raging.
Spiked Retribution
14th-level Path of the Battlerager feature
When a creature hits you with a melee attack while you are Raging and wearing your Spiked Armor, it takes piercing damage equal to your Strength modifier.
If you are conscious, you can use your reaction to replace this damage with the damage from a Spiked Armor attack.
Alternate Berserker
The savage warriors known as berserkers live for the chaos of battle. For these Barbarians, their Rage is a manifestation of their lust for violence and destruction. Often found on the front lines of battle, berserkers only feel fully alive when they are risking life and limb to test their might against their foes.
| Barbarian Level | Primal Path Feature |
|---|---|
| 3rd | Frenzied Rage |

additional time you do so before you
finish a long rest, you suffer 1 level of
exhaustion at the end of that Rage.

On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you for one minute. It can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
If a creature succeeds on its saving throw against this feature, it is immune to this effect for the next 24 hours.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to you Constitution modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all of your expended uses each time you finish a long rest.
Primal Restoration
10th-level Path of the Berserker feature
