Path of the Mask
It came at me, horns protruding from its head, a giant, inhuman grin fixed on its face and eyes like fires that bore into my soul. Some have claimed to me that it was just a man in a mask, but I know this can't be true. They don't know. They didn't stare into those eyes and see their own death staring back at them...
A Primal Path
Some barbarians learn how to craft strange and terrifying masks to aid them both on and off the battlefield. These masks are magical and unique, and the key to their creation is a carefully guarded secret.
Tools of the Maskmaker
When you choose this primal path at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and your choice of either leatherworker's, smith’s or woodworker's tools.
Masked Rage
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to craft masks and imbue them with magic. You learn how to make 2 masks from the Masks of Fury list at the end of this subclass. You learn how to make additional masks when you gain certain levels in this class, as shown in the mask table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you may swap out one of the masks you know how to make for another that you could gain at that level. You choose the physical appearance of these masks.
You may spend 10 minutes crafting a mask you know how to make, and may do so as part of taking a short or long rest. Whenever you craft two masks of the same type, the mask you crafted first turns to dust. These masks only effect you, on any other creature they are normal masks. If a mask requires a saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
You can don or doff a mask when you enter a rage or as a bonus action on your turn.
Some of your masks makes use of your Mask die, which is a d6 and increases in size when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the mask table.
