Primal Paths
At 3rd-Level, a Barbarian gains the Primal Path feature. The following options are available to a barbarian, in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook: the Path of the Relentless Wrath.
Path of the Relentless Wrath
Often there are those with the strength to survive the onslaught or devastation of hundreds or thousands of battles against innumerable foes. Barbarians on the Path of the Relentless Wrath clear their way through hordes of foes, and never fail to push against their opposition, coming through the other side unscathed.
To say the simplest, their Wrath is Relentless and cannot be stopped, the temperance of their body honed well against friend and foe. To walk upon this path, means to never falter or yield.

Unbreakable Rampage
3rd-Level Path of the Relentless Wrath Barbarian feature
You channel the powers of your wrathful will into your very flesh. During the duration of your rage, you can take a bonus action to empower your body's defenses, giving you 1d4 + your Constitution modifier in Temporary HP.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you increase the Die's size to gain more Temporary HP: 1d6 at 5th, 1d8 at 10th, 1d10 at 15th, and 1d12 at 20th.
Obliterating Attacks
6th-Level Path of the Relentless Wrath Barbarian feature
You deal double damage to objects and structures with your weapon attacks.
Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one of your Hit Dice, rolling it and dealing extra damage of the weapon's type equal to the result rolled. You can only spend an amount of Hit Dice with this feature equal to your Constitution Modifier (min of 1), and you cannot spend any more until you finish a Long Rest, of which the amount of times you've spent on this feature Hit Dice returns to 0, and you regain spent Hit Dice from your Long Rest.
Unstoppable Advance
10th-Level Path of the Relentless Wrath Barbarian feature
At 10th level, you can harry your way through thick and thin, irregardless of where you travel. While you're raging, you gain the benefits of the freedom of movement spell that lasts as long as you are raging. Additionally, you also have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, poisoned, stunned, or put to sleep.
Invulnerable Assault
14th-Level Juggernaut Barbarian feature
Beginning at 14th level, your body has the potential to shrug off the most destructive of blows.
While you're raging, as a reaction, you can reduce damage you take from a single attack to 0. You can use this ability up to your Constitution Modifier (min 1) per rage.
Juggernaut Barbarian Quirks
1d6 | Quirk |
---|---|
1 | Weapon strikes rarely penetrate or cut your skin. |
2 | You rarely feel any form of soreness, bruising, or strain on your body or muscles, even after bouts of intensive labor. |
3 | When your body breaks and bones displace, you can easily just snap them back into place with little effort. |
4 | While raging, hot steam begins to emanate from your back and hiss from your mouth as you breathe. |
5 | While raging, the iris of your eye changes shape to match a symbol of your fury or match the iris shape of an aggressive animal, such as a ram or cat, or just go pitch black or red. |
6 | Your strength never surprises you. It's almost like the world is made of soft, squishy materials. |
