Barbarian
The barbarian class receives new features and subclasses in
this section.
Optional Class Features
You gain class features in the Player's Handbook when you
reach certain levels in your class. This section offers
additional features that you can gain as a barbarian.
Unlike the features in the Player's Handbook, you don't gain
the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you
decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the
level requirement noted in the feature's description. These
features can be selected separately from one another; you can
use some, all, or none of them.
Vital Focus
1st-level barbarian feature
As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your rage
feature to channel your anger inwards, enhancing your
strength in a more focused manner.
In this state, you gain the following benefits if you aren't
wearing heavy armor:
You have advantage on ability checks and saving throws
that use Strength or Constitution
Your carrying capacity, and the amount you can push, drag,
or lift, are doubled.
When you make an ability check that uses Strength,
Dexterity, Constitution, or Wisdom, you gain a bonus to the
roll that increases as you gain levels as a barbarian, as
shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or
concentrate on them during your vital focus.
Your vital focus lasts for 1 hour. It ends early if you are
knocked unconscious or if you end it on your turn as a bonus
action.

Enhanced Two-Weapon Fighting
5th-level barbarian feature
When you engage in two-weapon fighting and take the Attack
action on your turn, you can choose to make the bonus attack
as part of your action instead of as a bonus action.
Battle Hardened
6th-level barbarian feature
You gain the benefits of the Ability Score Improvement
feature.
Reflexive Rage
7th-level barbarian feature, which replaces the Feral Instinct
feature
As if by some secret sense, you anticipate and react to danger.
You have advantage on initiative rolls. If you are surprised at
the beginning of combat, you can act normally on your first
turn, but only if you are raging or if you enter your rage before
doing anything else on that turn.
In addition, when you are subjected to damage while you
are not raging, you can use your reaction to enter your rage
before taking the damage.
Unerring Fury
9th-level barbarian feature
Your anger focuses your priorities, making it difficult to sway
you from your intended course. While you are raging, you gain
a bonus to Wisdom saving throws equal to your rage damage
bonus.
If you are suffering from an effect that allows you to make a
Wisdom saving throw at the end of your turns to end the effect
when you enter your rage, you can repeat that saving throw
when you enter your rage, potentially causing the effect to
end.

Wild Tactics
11th-level barbarian feature
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo
making one of those attacks and take the Dash, Disengage,
Dodge, Hide, Interpose*, Thwart*, or Ready action as part of
that Attack action.
Foe Shredder
17th-level barbarian feature
Once on each of your turns when you hit with a melee attack
while raging, you can choose to turn the hit into a critical hit.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Strength modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all
expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Path of the Fleshquake
Barbarians on the Path of the Fleshquake are often mellow,
easygoing, and genteel. It is only in battles where they have no
other choice that they allow this demeanor to falter, becoming
rampaging abominations. Just as their rage twists their mind
into a vicious loop of wrath and bloodlust, so too does it twist
their bodies, reshaping their bones and swelling their
muscles, causing blood to churn and skin to shift as they
abandon all thought and succumb to the warp spasm.
Such a barbarian might be the spawn of a chaotic deity, a
victim of magical experimentation, a bearer of a curse, or
perhaps a survivor of an encounter with an otherworldly
force. In their warp spasm, these barbarians sometimes
display exaggerated features of their race, but just as
frequently become unrecognizable monstrosities. You can
choose the nature of this transformation or determine it by
rolling on the Form of the Warp Spasm table.

Path of the Possessed
Not every demon that manages to possess a mortal is without
restraint. Occasionally, a demon will find its new host to be
exceptionally useful, offering it unholy strength in exchange
for harboring the evil spirit. From this union, barbarians of the
Path of the Possessed are made, cursed warriors whose
bodies and minds are transformed for battle.
Such a barbarian is free to revel in their new power, but as
always there is a cost. A demonic spirit may desire to further
its goals through the use of its new flesh carriage, or simply
seek the acquisition of another corrupted soul to fight on the
side of the Abyss in the Blood War. You can choose the aim of
your possessing spirit or determine it by rolling on the
Demonic Drive table.
