Primal Path
Path of the Berserker
For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end —
that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is
a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you
enter the berserker’s rage, you thrill in the chaos of
battle, and strike fear into all who oppose you.
Frenzy
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you
can channel your rage into an even deeper fury. When
you enter a rage, or at the start of your turn while
raging, you can choose to go into a frenzy, spending
an additional usage of your Rage feature. If you do
so, for the duration of the rage you can make one
additional attack when you take the Attack action.
Mindless Rage
Beginning at 6th level, you can’t be charmed or
frightened while raging. If you are charmed or
frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is
suspended for the duration of the rage.
Berserker Redux
The Berserker archetype as presented in the Player’s
Handbook suffers from action economy conflict, exhaustion
drawbacks, and a terrible 10th level feature. This revision is
intended to maintain the core features of the subclass while
making them more readily usable in gameplay.

Intimidating Presence
At 10th level, you gain proficiency in Intimidation,
and you gain expertise with it, which means your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check
you make with it.
Your very presence can strike fear into the heart
of those who dare stand against you. As a bonus
action you can attempt to intimidate each creature
of your choice within 10 feet of you, that can see or
hear you. Each creature must succeed on a Wisdom
save throw (DC 8 + your proficiency Bonus + your
Strength modifier) or become frightened of you for 1
minute. At the start of a frightened creatures turn, it
can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself
on a success.
Once you have used your intimidating presence,
you can’t do so again until you finish a short
or long rest.
Retaliation
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from
a creature that is within reach of your weapon, you
can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack
against that creature.
