# Path of the Flesh Carver

### Fury and Magic
The rage that fills a barbarian's mind makes the arcane arts near impossible. However their are those that wish to wield this power must resort to the inscribing of runes into their own skin, weather it with ink, scars, or iron hammered into their flesh.

Runes are ancient and powerful magic, that turns a mere word into a force of nature. Incorporating them into ones own flesh granting you the ability to wield it in combat.

#### Rune Carving
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you learn to carve runes into your flesh to empower yourself.

**Runes.** You carve three runes of your choice, which are detailed under "Runes" below. Some rune must be invoked. If they are, they cannot be invoked again until you finish a long rest.

You carve two additional runes of your choice at 6th and 10th level.

**Saving Throws.** Some of your runes require your target to make a saving throw to resist the rune's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

**Rune save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier

#### Runic Sense
At 6th level, you can cast the *detect magic* spell but only as a ritual.

#### Protection Against Magic
Starting at 10th level, your runes abjure incoming magic, insulating you from the worst of it.

While raging, you can add your rage damage bonus to saving throws against spells and other magical effects you make.

#### Runic Seal
At 14th level, you finish the carving of a final rune of immense power into your flesh. Select one of the following runes. The DC for the saving throw is the rune save DC.

**Seal of Negation.** While raging, you have advantage on saving throws against spells. Furthermore, you have resistance against the damage of spells.

Additionally, to cast a spell within 10 feet of you, they must first pass an int (Arcana) check to cast the spell.

**Seal of Unfettered Fury.** While raging, double your rage damage bonus.

Additionally, when you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.

**Seal of Unyielding Bulwark.** While raging, you can reduce any damage you take by your constitution modifier.

Additionally, you cannot be moved against your will and have advantage on saving throws to resist being knocked prone.
