Path Primeval
t
of the
he primordial fury of barbarians
who walk the Path of the Primeval
allows them to tap into a deep-rooted
connection they have with the wilds
from which they hail, their rage
beckoning ancient beasts to their side in battle.
The cultures in which they were raised teach them to
foster their connection with the wilderness, and to draw
on it for aid in times of need. They might hail from a
tribe with close ties to a druidic circle, have directly
descended from one, have received the ability as a gift
from a Fey, or somehow came in possession of an
artifact that allows you to call these beasts to your aid.

3rd-level Path of the Primeval feature
When you choose this path at 3rd level, your rage
unlocks a subconscious, primordial connection with
nature. While raging, you are under the effects of
the Speak with Animals spell.
Primeval Companion
3rd-level Path of the Primeval feature
When you enter your rage, your bloodlust summons a
Primeval Beast. It appears in an unoccupied space of
your choice within 30 feet of you, or directly underneath
you.
The beast is friendly to you and your companions, and
it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the
accompanying Primeval Beast stat block, which uses
your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You
determine the creature’s appearance and whether it has
two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game
statistics.
In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can
move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action
it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus
action on your turn to command it to take another
action. That action can be one in its stat block or some
other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks
when you take the Attack action to command the beast
to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the
beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
The beast remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points,
until you end your rage, or until you die. Anything the
beast was wear- ing or carrying is left behind when
the beast vanishes. Damage dealt to or by
the Primeval Beast counts towards
sustaining your rage, and its attacks
benefit from your Rage Damage.
You may immediately command your
Primeval Beast when you enter your rage.
