Fiendish Resilience
3rd level Path of the Demon Soul feature
Your demonic nature grants you increased resistance to
elemental forces. You now have resistance to lightning, fire,
and cold damage while raging.

 Reckless Surge
6th level Path of the Demon Soul feature
You may apply your Reckless Attack feature to any attacks
you make as part of your Demonic Surges. Additionally, when
you use a Demonic Surge that requires creatures to make a
saving throw, you may choose to force all affected creatures
to make their saving throw with disadvantage. If you do, all
attack rolls against you have advantage and all saving throws
you make have disadvantage until the start of your next turn.
Brutal Surge
10th level Path of the Demon Soul feature
You may apply your Brutal Critical feature to any attacks you
make with your Demonic Surges. Additionally, when you use
your Reckless Surge or Reckless Attack feature, you can
choose to have your Demonic Surges ignore all resistances
and treat all immunity as though it is resistance until the start
of your next turn. Doing so causes you to lose all resistances
granted by your rage until the start of your next turn.
Chaos Conduit
14th level Path of the Demon Soul feature
While raging, you may use a 1st level demonic surge without
expending a Surge Slot. You can use this ability only once per
rage.
Demonic Surges
The surges are grouped by surge level and listed
alphabetically.
1st Level Surges
  Abyssal Skulk. As an action, you magically turn invisible.
The invisibility lasts for 1 minute or until you attack, make a
damage roll, or force a creature to make a saving throw.
Arrogant Rage. When you enter a rage or as a bonus
action while raging, you enhance your rage such that you gain
a surge of reckless confidence, allowing you to demoralize
any who would dare strike you.

While raging this way, whenever a creature makes an
attack against you and would have advantage as a result of
your Reckless Attack or Reckless Surge features, you can use
your reaction to demoralize that creature, forcing it to make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it loses the advantage
your Reckless Attack or Reckless Surge granted it and
instead suffers disadvantage on the attack.
Creatures immune to being charmed and frightened
automatically pass this save.
This surge ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you enhance your rage with another Demonic Surge.
Burning Whip. As part of an Attack action, you can choose
to forgo one of your attacks to summon a burning whip in a
free hand that you can use to immediately make a single
melee spell attack against a creature within 30 feet of you. On
a hit, it deals 3d6 fire damage, and the target must succeed
on a Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 25 feet toward
you.
The whip disappears immediately after you make this
attack.
Defile Earth. As part of an Attack action, you can choose
to forgo one of your attacks to cause the ground within 10
feet of you to become polluted with demonic ichor. The area
is corrupted for the next minute, during which time it is
difficult terrain for creatures other than you.
As an action, you can cause any number of 5-foot-by-5-foot
square areas covered in this ichor to burst with demonic rot,
which clears that area of the ichor. Any creature standing in
the burst must make a Constitution saving throw, taking
3d10 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one.
Demonic Appendages. As a bonus action, choose a damage
type from piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning damage. You
cause your hands to mutate into demonic appendages (such
as claws, tentacles, or skewers) for the next hour or until you
dismiss this surge as a bonus action. The appendages can be
used as weapons while not holding anything and count as
simple melee weapons with the Light property that add your
Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls when you
attack with them. They each deal 1d10 of the chosen damage
type on it.
Fiendish Horns. As part of an Attack action, you can
choose to forgo one of your attacks to grow large demonic
horns and use them to make a single melee spell attack
against a target within 5 feet of you. On a hit, it deals 3d8
piercing damage, and if the target is a creature and you
moved at least 20 ft. before making the attack, it must make a
Strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature is knocked
prone, and you may push it up to 10 feet away from you.
The horns disappear immediately after making this attack.
Flames of Chaos. As part of an Attack action, you can
choose to forgo one of your attacks to hurl a bolt of iridescent
fire at a creature within 100 feet of you as a ranged spell
attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 fire damage and
becomes engulfed in chaotic flames until the end of your next
turn.
If the creature takes damage from one of your Demonic
Surges while covered in these flames, the flames disappear,
and that surge deals an additional 1d12 damage as it draws
energy from the fires.
Foul Smite. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon
attack, you may use a bonus action to deal an additional 2d6
poison damage. The target must then succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of
your next turn.
Fresh Meat. As part of an Attack action, you can choose to
forgo one of your attacks to feast on the corpse of one Small
or larger creature within 5 feet of you that died within the last
minute, causing you to regain a number of hit points equal to
2d6 + your Strength modifier.
Hateful Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a bonus action
while raging, you enhance your rage by focusing it into a
hatred for another creature you can see within 90 feet of you.
For the duration of this effect, you deal an extra 1d6 damage
to that creature whenever you hit it with an attack.
This surge ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you enhance your rage with another Demonic Surge.
Hungering Jaws. As part of an Attack action, you can choose
to forgo one of your attacks to attempt to bite a creature
within 5 feet of you with razor-sharp jaws as a melee spell
attack. On a hit, you deal 2d8 piercing damage, and if the
target is a creature, you regain a number of hit points equal to
the damage it dealt.
Hypnotic Summons. As part of an Attack action, you can
choose to forgo one of your attacks to whisper maddening
words to one creature of your choice within 60 feet of you
that can hear you, twisting its mind and drawing it toward
you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a
failed save, it takes 3d6 psychic damage and must
immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as close as
its speed allows toward you. The creature doesn’t move into
obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a
successful save, the target takes half as much damage and
doesn’t have to move toward you. A deafened creature
automatically succeeds on the save.
Lightning Blade. As part of an Attack action, you can
choose to forgo one of your attacks to create a blade of
chaotic lighting in a free hand that you can use to
immediately make a single melee spell attack. This attack
scores a critical hit on a roll of 18 or higher. On a hit, it deals
2d12 lightning damage. The blade disappears immediately
after making this attack.
Nightmare Rage. When you enter a rage or as a bonus
action while raging, you can enhance your rage by filling your
mind with nightmarish visions that you can inflict upon
others. While raging this way, whenever you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack or an attack from one of your
Demonic Surges, you may surround the target with
nightmarish visions for the next minute or until you surround
another creature with visions.
If the target willingly moves 5 feet before the visions end, it
must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 2d6 psychic
damage on a failure, or half as much on a success, and the
visions affecting it end.
This effect ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you enhance your rage with another Demonic Surge beyond
what this ability allows you to maintain.
3
 Savage Rush. As a bonus action, you draw upon an unholy
vigor, allowing you to move up to your movement speed
horizontally in a straight line. The first creature you run into
during this movement must succeed on a Strength saving or
be pushed ahead of you for the rest of the movement. If the
creature succeeds on the save, or you run into a second
creature, your movement stops.
2nd Level Surges
Burning Smite. When you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you may use a bonus action to deal an
additional 3d10 fire damage.
Cruel Revival. As a bonus action, you speak a dark
incantation which awakens the corpse of a Small or Medium
creature you can see within 30 feet of you that died within the
last 10 minutes. The corpse immediately stands up and
becomes a zombie (the statistics for zombies can be found in
the Monster Manual), and it gains a bonus to its attack and
damage rolls equal to your Strength ability modifier. In
combat, the zombie shares your initiative count.
While the zombie is within 60 feet of you, you can use a
bonus action to mentally command it to do your bidding. If it
receives no such commands, it takes no actions and does not
move.
The zombie crumbles to dust after 10 minutes.
Demonic Eyes. As an action, you cause your eyes to take
on demonic traits and appearance. For the next 8 hours, you
gain darkvision out to 120 and areas of dim light are not
considered lightly obscured to you.
Horror Nimbus. As an action, you magically emit
scintillating, multicolored light. Each creature of your choice
within 15 feet of that you that can see the light must succeed
on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the
end of your next turn and must immediately use its reaction,
if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you.
The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground,
such as a fire or a pit.
Indestructible Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a
bonus action while raging, you enhance your rage to
make yourself nearly indestructible. While this effect
lasts, you have an advantage on Constitution checks
and saving throws and resistance to all damage
except radiant damage.
This effect ends if your rage ends, one minute
passes, or you enhance your rage with another
Demonic Surge.
Inflicted Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a
bonus action while raging, you enhance your rage
by attempting to psychically inflict another creature
within 120 feet of you with it. That creature must
succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or be
subjected to this rage for one minute, until your
rage ends, or until you enhance your rage with
another surge.
4
While under the effects of this rage, the creature can only use
its action to make weapon attacks or take the Dash action,
and it can no longer cast or maintain concentration on spells.
The creature can make an Intelligence saving throw at the
end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Inhuman Grace. As a bonus action, you endow yourself
with such unnatural grace that any you stride past have their
minds rent by the sight of your movements. Until the end of
your turn, whenever you move 5 feet away from a creature
that can see you, it takes 2d8 psychic damage. A creature can
only take this damage once per turn.
If you used your Reckless Attack or Reckless Surge
features this turn, your speed also increases by 20 feet until
the end of the turn.
Insanity Gaze. As an action, you turn your madding gaze
upon a creature you can see within 90 feet of you, forcing it to
make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it must use its
movement on its next turn to move within 5 feet of a creature
of your choice and then use its action to make a melee attack
against that creature. If it is unable to reach the chosen
creature, it does not use its action that turn.
Malevolent Flame. As an action, you create an area of
flame that fills a 5-foot cube in front of you and move it out 30
ft. away from you, where it remains until the end of your next
turn, at which point the flame moves toward your current
location. The flame disappears after reaching you or moving
30 ft. toward you.
Whenever the flame moves into the space of a creature
other than you, or a creature other than you ends its turn
standing in the flame, that creature must make a Dexterity
saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d6 fire
damage, and on a pass, it takes half as much.
The flame ignites any flammable objects in the area that
aren’t being worn or carried.
 Torturous Claws. As an action, two razor-sharp clawed
limbs grow from you and strike at nearby foes. Make two
melee spells attacks against targets within 5 feet of you. On a
hit, a target takes 2d10 slashing damage and can’t take
reactions until the start of its next turn as it is racked with
pain.
If both attacks made this way hit the same target, it is
afflicted with even more intense pain, forcing it to make a
Constitution saving throw. It takes an additional 3d10 psychic
damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.
The limbs disappear immediately after you make the
attacks with them.
Unholy Stench. As an action, you cause a foul smell to
emanate out to a 10-foot radius around yourself. Each
creature other than you in that area must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes
2d6 poison damage and is poisoned until the end of your next
turn. While poisoned in this way, the target can't take
reactions, and on each of its turns, it must choose whether it
gets a move, an action, or a bonus action. On a successful
save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t
poisoned.
Spew Bile. As an action, you spew forth a stream of
corrosive bile. Each creature in a 15-foot cone in front of you
takes 4d4 acid damage and must make a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature is covered in acid, causing
it to take another 4d4 acid damage at the end of its next turn
unless a creature uses its action to scrape or wash the acid
off of it beforehand. On a successful save, a creature is not
covered in acid and takes no additional damage at the end of
its next turn.
Rampaging Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a bonus
action while raging, you enhance your rage with an insatiable
bloodlust. While under this effect, up to once on each of your
turns, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a
melee attack or a Demonic Surge, you gain an additional
action. This action can only be used to take a Dash action or
an Attack action to make one weapon attack.
This effect ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you enhance your rage with another Demonic Surge.

3rd Level Surges
Cackling Flail. As an action, you choose a point you can see
within 15 feet of you and conjure a three-headed demonic
flail made of cackling skulls in a free hand which you use to
make three melee spell attacks against up to three different
creatures who are within 15 feet of the chosen point. On a
hit, an attack from this flail deals 3d8 thunder damage.
If one or more of the creatures hit by the flail is reduced to
0 hit points, you may immediately make another attack with it
against each of the remaining targets who still have 1 or
more hit points. If this second set of attacks reduces another
creature to 0 hit points, you may repeat the process.
Once you can no longer make any attacks, the flail
disappears.
Contaminating Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a
bonus action while raging, you enhance your rage to channel
it into a stream of demonic corruption that oozes into a 15-
foot radius area centered on yourself. This area moves with
you, and you can designate any number of creatures you can
see to be unaffected by it.
When a creature you haven’t designated enters the affected
area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature takes 3d8 poison damage, and its speed is halved
while it remains in the area. On a successful save, the
creature takes half as much damage and its speed isn’t
reduced.
The contaminated area disappears if your rage ends, one
minute passes, or you enhance your rage with another
Demonic Surge.
Dark Flight. As an action, you cause wings to spring from
your back granting you flying speed of 60 feet for the next 10
minutes. If the effect ends while you are in the air, you
immediately begin falling unless some other effect prevents
this.
5
 Devour. As an action, your jaw unhinges, and you attempt to Warp Flesh. As an action, you target a creature you can

duration of this effect, you have advantage on all Intelligence

may use a 1st level Demonic Surge that replaces one of your
attacks without expending a surge slot.
This effect ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you enhance your rage with another Demonic Surge.
Fire Stomp. As an action, you slam the ground, causing
fire to erupt out from you to a 15-foot radius. Each creature
other than you in that area must make a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 8d6 fire damage. On
a pass, it takes half as much damage.
The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that
aren’t being worn or carried.
Lightning Lance. As an action, you launch a bolt of
lightning in a 60-foot long 10-foot wide line. Each creature in
the line must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d8
lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on
a successful one.
Manic Rage. When you enter a rage, or as a bonus action
while raging, you channel your rage to the point of manic
insanity, turning yourself into a whirlwind of death. While in
this state, if you make an attack that would have advantage as
a result of your Reckless Attack feature, you can forgo that
advantage to make the same attack against another creature
within 5 feet of the original target and within the attack’s
range. These extra attacks can’t benefit from advantage from
any source or be replaced with Demonic Surges.
This effect ends if your rage ends, one minute passes, or
you modify your rage with another Demonic Surge.
Undying Evil. You gain the demonic ability to escape
death. As an action, you place a ward on yourself that lasts for
8 hours or until you use this surge again. If you die while
under the effects of the ward, your body dissolves into foul
ichor, leaving behind only the equipment you were wearing or
carrying.
After 1 minute, you reform in the unoccupied space closest
to the location where you died. Your soul must be both willing
and able to reform, and you can’t return to life if you died of
old age.
When you reform, you return to life with 1 hit point and the
ward ends.

Chaotic Smite. When you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you may use a bonus action to deal an
additional 4d10 force damage as you channel raw chaos
through it.
Additionally, the target must succeed on a Charisma saving
throw or suffer one of the random mutations described in the

Demon Soul Barbarian
NPCs
The following stat blocks can be used to describe non-player
characters who are demon soul barbarians or warriors with
similar powers. You can choose the stat block that best aligns
with the power level of the NPC and apply the Demonic
Surges of your choice that best fit the desired theme of the
NPC, as described in its Demonic Surges feature. You may
also opt to provide your NPCs with fewer known surges than
the stat block suggests so as to keep its combat options
simpler and make it easier for players to learn its attack
patterns.
To further customize your NPC, apply the racial traits of
whichever humanoid race you’ve chosen for it.

Demon Barbarian Building Tips
• Don’t add more different types of surges than
you need to reach the design goal of your barbarian
• Only having one surge that enhances the
barbarian’s rage makes it a lot easier to manage.
• Changing out weapons & skills or modifying
mental stats are a simple ways to help differentiate
the look and style of your barbarians.
• If you give a barbarian the eldritch rage surge, it
needs to know a surge that can be used in place of
an attack, and it's best to allow it to use that surge
as a bonus action while raging. Otherwise, it will
rarely get the same resource-saving benefits as a
player from the ability.
The barbarian has the following number of surge slots
available to use the Demonic Surges, and regains all
expended surge slots after completing a long rest:
1st Level: 3 Surge Slots
2nd Level: 1 Surge Slot
Bonus Actions
Rage (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The
barbarian enters a rage, gaining the following benefits:
It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
It deals an extra 2 damage with its melee weapon
attacks.
It has resistance to cold, fire, lightning, bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage.
The rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if the
barbarian is incapacitated or if its turn ends and it
hasn't attacked a hostile creature, forced a hostile
creature to make a saving throw, or taken damage since
its last turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The barbarian makes two attacks.
Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft.,
one target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage.
Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit,

 Demon Soul Barbarian
Examples
The following is a list of example stat blocks made using the
demon soul barbarian templates. The barbarian examples
don’t always know as many surges as their template stat
block suggests. Rather than using surge slots, the different
demonic surge abilities each have a certain number of uses.
Other modifications include tweaking non-combat stats,
swapping out weapons, or replacing the rage feature with the
one enhanced by a known demonic surge. All these changes
are made to enhance the theme of the barbarian and
streamline its stat block for readability.

Danger Sense. The barbarian has advantage on any
Dexterity saving throw against an effect that it can see.
To gain this benefit, it can't be blinded, deafened, or
incapacitated.
Reckless. At the start of its turn, the barbarian can gain
advantage on all melee attack rolls it makes during that
turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the
start of its next turn.
Bonus Actions
Arrogant Rage. (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The
barbarian enters an arrogant rage, gaining the following
benefits:
It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
It deals an extra 2 damage with its melee weapon
attacks.
It has resistance to cold, fire, lightning, bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage.
The rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if the
barbarian is incapacitated or if its turn ends and it
hasn't attacked a hostile creature, forced a hostile
creature to make a saving throw, or taken damage since
its last turn.
16
Inhuman Grace (1/day). The barbarian endows itself with
such unnatural grace that any it strides past have their
minds rent by the sight of its movements. Until the end
of its turn, whenever it moves 5 feet away from a
creature that can see it, that creature takes 2d8 psychic
damage. A creature can only take this damage once per
turn.
If the barbarian used its Reckless Attack feature this
turn, its speed also increases by 20 feet until the end of
the turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The barbarian makes two attacks. It can use
Hypnotic Summons in place any of the attacks.
Glaive. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft.,
one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage.
Hypnotic Summons. (2/day). The barbarian whispers
maddening words to one creature of its choice within
60 feet of it that can hear it, twisting the creature's
mind and drawing it toward the barbarian. The target
must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed
save, it takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage and must
immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as
close as its speed allows toward the barbarian. The
creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous
ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the
target takes half as much damage and doesn't have to
move toward the barbarian. A deafened creature
automatically succeeds on the save.
Reactions
Demoralize. If the barbarian is raging and has used its
Reckless feature since the start of its last turn, in
response to a creature making an attack against it, it
attempts to demoralize that creature, forcing it to make
a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the attacking
creature loses the advantage it gained from the
barbarian using its Reckless feature and instead suffers
disadvantage on the attack. Creatures immune to being
charmed and frightened automatically pass this save.

Dexterity saving throw against an effect that it can see.
To gain this benefit, it can't be blinded, deafened, or

It has advantage on Strength checks and Strength
saving throws.
It deals an extra 3 damage with its melee weapon
attacks.
It has resistance to cold, fire, lightning, bludgeoning,

Whenever the barbarian hits a creature with a melee
weapon attack, it may surround the target with
nightmarish visions for the next minute or until it
surrounds another creature with visions. If the target
willingly moves 5 feet before the visions end, it must
make a DC 17 Intelligence saving throw, taking 5
(1d10) psychic damage on a failure, or half as much
on a success, and the visions affecting it end.

The barbarian chooses a creature it can see within 120
feet of it and forces it to make an Intelligence saving
throw as it tries to inflict the creature with rage. On a
failed save, the creature is subjected to this inflicted
rage until the Sentient Rage ends.
While inflicted this way, the creature can only use its
action to make weapon attacks or take the Dash
action, and it can no longer cast or maintain
concentration on spells.
The creature can repeat the Intelligence saving throw
at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a
success.
The rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if the
barbarian is incapacitated or if its turn ends and it
hasn't attacked a hostile creature, forced a hostile
creature to make a saving throw, or taken damage since
its last turn.
Actions
Multiattack. The barbarian makes two attacks. It can use
Hypnotic Summons in place of any of the attacks, and
Insanity Gaze or Fire Stomp in place of one of them.
Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft.,
one target. Hit: 11 (1d12+5) slashing damage.
Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit,
reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 7
(1d6+4) slashing damage.
Fire Stomp (2/Day). The barbarian slams the ground,
causing fire to erupt out from it to a 15-foot radius.
Each creature other than it in that area must make a DC
17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature
takes 28 (8d6) fire damage. On a pass, it takes half as
much damage.
Hypnotic Summons (4/day). The barbarian whispers
maddening words to one creature of its choice within
60 feet of it that can hear it, twisting the creature's
mind and drawing it toward the barbarian. The target
must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed
save, it takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage and must
immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as
close as its speed allows toward the barbarian. The
creature doesn't move into obviously dangerous
ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the
target takes half as much damage and doesn't have to
move toward the barbarian. A deafened creature
automatically succeeds on the save.
Insanity Gaze (3/day). The barbarian turns its madding
gaze upon a creature it can see within 90 feet of it,
forcing the creature to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving
throw. On a failure, the creature must use its
movement on its next turn to move within 5 feet of a
creature of the barbarian's choice and then use its
action to make a melee attack against that creature. If it
is unable to reach the chosen creature, it does not use
its action that turn.
