Barbarian Class Details
A weighted man who belongs to a tribe walks through snowfall while holding his ax. He wears fur clothes. As he charges at the icy dragon, that tries to steal his folks, the flock of sheep, he laughs.
A half-orc barks at the next challenger to her brutal tribe’s leadership. He is always ready to break his neck with her two hands as she has done to her past six enemies.
A small creature pushes his helmet into the face of a terrible enemy while spitting at the lips, then turns and forces his iron elbow into the other’s belly
They are recognized by their anger as uncontrollable, inexhaustible, and irresponsible jealousy but all barbarians are different from one another. Their anger is not less than an emotion, it is the strength of a caged animal, the cranking turbulence of the sea, and the continuous attacks of the strong winds.
Sometimes a spiritual connection with violent animal souls sparks the anger of some people. Many create a burning tank of anger at a world rife with hardship. For every barbarian, anger is a power that motivates not only a war madness but also incredible speed, durability, and strong abilities.
Primitive Behaviors:
People in the cities feel proud of how their modern ways differentiate them from animals as if ignoring one’s own nature is a sign of superiority. But for a barbarian, value is not a sign of weakness but culture is. The successful enjoy their animal heritage which includes strong instincts, basic strength, and deadly anger. Barbarians don’t like being trapped by fences and crowds. Their tribes survive and prey in the grassland, rainforest, or grasslands of their homelands, where they flourish.
Barbarians come to life in the midst of battle. They can go berserk, where rage takes over and grants them superhuman strength and resolve. A barbarian can only draw on this reservoir of rage a few times before tiring, but those few fits of rage are usually quite enough to defeat whatever threats arise.
Dangerous Lives:
The barbarian class does not apply to all members of tribes called “barbarians” by root tips of civilized culture. A true barbarian among these people is as unique as a good soldier in a town, and he or she serves in a similar position as a people’s protector and a war leader. Rival tribes, terrible weather, and terrifying monsters exist throughout the world’s remote locations. Barbarians rush headlong into danger to save their people from all of this. Barbarians are ideal for adventure because of their bravery in the face of risk. For their original tribes, traveling is often a way of life, and the adventurer’s rootless lifestyle is little more than a slight problem. Some barbarians miss their tribe’s narrow family structures, but these are soon replaced by the bonds built among the members of their exploring groups.
The Making of a Barbarian:
Consider where your barbarian character comes from and where he or she fits into the world when creating a barbarian character. Discuss a suitable origin for your barbarian with your DM. Are you a stranger in the campaign area since you came from a faraway land? Is the campaign located on a harsh border where barbarians abound?
What drew you to the life of an adventurer? Were you attracted to settle in an established region by the possibility of riches? Did you band together with soldiers from those countries to combat a common threat? Were you driven out of your nation by monsters or an invading horde, leaving you a rootless refugee?

Primal Routes:
All barbarian’s ability that drives him or her to greatness is a furnaced
Every barbarian’s heart is a furnace of rage, a furnace that drives him or her to greatness. Different barbarians, on the other hand, trace their fury to various origins. It’s an internal reservoir for some, where hurt, grief, and hatred are forged into a hard fury. Others consider it as a symbolic animal gift, a spiritual blessing.
The Berserker’s Path:
Rage is basically the objective of violence that means to an end of certain barbarians. The Berserker’s Route is a path in which uncontrolled rage, is covered in the blood includes. When you enter the berserker’s anger, maybe you take joy in the chaos of battle but you are ignorant of your own health or well-being.
Frenzy:
When you pick this route at 3rd level, you can become enraged and go into a frenzy. If you do, you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns for the duration of your anger. You experience one degree of weariness when your wrath ends.
Irrational rage:
At the initial stage of the 6th level while furious starting, then you can’t be charmed or scared. When you enter your wrath, if you are charmed or terrified, the effect is stopped for the length of the anger.
Intimidating presence:
With your scary presence starting at the 10th level, you can use your action to terrify someone. When you’ve done that, pick one monster that’s within 30 feet of you. If the creature sees or hears you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be terrified of you until the end of your turn. The scared creature might continue to scare you when you increase the duration of this effect till the end of your turn by using your action on successive rounds. This effect will disappear if the creature finishes its action from out of vision range or more than 60 feet away from you.
But again for 1 day, you can’t use this feature on your respective creature if it succeeds in its fighting effort.
Retaliation:
When you suffer danger from a creature within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to perform a melee weapon attack against that monster starting at 14th level.
