Path of the Runeweaver

There are barbarians who found mystical power and channel it through runic symbols, often using mud or blood to draw runes on themselves or leaving them shimmering in the air. Some channel harness the magical potential from within, while others use religious symbolism and channel it through the deities. They are often called battle shamans, and bloodragers.

The Runeweaver

Once per rage you can cast a known Runeweaver spell. You can cast and concentrate on Runeweaver spells while you rage, and casting a Runeweaver spell won't stop your rage. Your Spell slot level equals the spell you cast.

On levels 3, 7, 10, and 17, you learn two new known spells from the Runeweaver spell list.

At level 20, you can enter a Rage 8 times per long rest instead of Unlimited.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Runeweaver spells, since you learn your Runeweaver spells through understanding the mystical power behind your rage. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Runeweaver spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Blood of the Runes

At level 6, you can spend 1 Rage to cast a Runeweaver spell you know.

Mystic Understanding

As your powers grow, your understanding of runes deepens. On level 10 you become proficiency with Arcana or Religion skill, if you are already proficient with it then your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that skill. Additionally, once per long rest you can replace one of your Runeweaver spells known with a different one from the spells available to you.

Bloodrage

You are able to channel your powers even better through combat. At level 16 you learn 2 cantrips from any classes. While you Rage you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of your attacks.
