Level 2: Brutal Superiority

You learn certain special combat abilities referred to as maneuvers, which in turn are fueled by your Stamina.

Maneuvers: Maneuvers are powerful combat abilities that expend Stamina to enhance an attack or provide another type of powerful benefit. As you gain this class feature, you learn two maneuvers from the Brutal type. As you gain additional class levels, your learn additional maneuvers as shown in the Barbarian table. To execute an attack maneuver you must be proficient with any weapon used in conjunction with it. You can only use one maneuver per turn. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

Stamina: The amount of Stamina you have available is based on to the proficiency bonus gained from levels in classes that grant Stamina plus your Constitution modifier. You can expend Stamina to fuel maneuvers and other features. Each time you take a Short or Long Rest, you regain all your expended Stamina.

Saving Throws: Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

Level 2: Reckless Attack

You can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with ferocity. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you Advantage on attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but attack rolls against you have Advantage during that same time.

Level 9: Savage Critical

Level 11: Brute Force

When you have Advantage on a Strength skill check, Saving Throw, or an attack roll using Strength, you can reroll one of the dice once.

Level 13: Undying Rage

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest, the DC resets to 10.

Level 15: Seething Fury

When you roll Initiative you regain one use of Rage, and you may choose to immediately enter Rage.

Level 17: Utmost Might

If your total for a Strength or Constitution check or saving throw is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

Path of the Beast

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Beast draw their rage from a bestial presence coursing through their blood, causing physical transformations when they draw on its power. The source of this power might be a primal spirit, the touch of lycanthropy, or descent from a shapeshifter.

In addition, when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, that creature provokes an Opportunity Attack from you.

Each creature that fails its saving throw becomes Frightened of you for 1 minute. A Frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The DC is equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Rage bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

These magic-suffused barbarians walk the Path of Wild Magic.

At any time after you rolled on the Wild Magic table, you can expand one of your uses of Rage to reroll any number of the dice and roll an additional one.

List of Maneuvers

This section presents a list of combat maneuvers.

Maneuver Types. Each maneuver belongs to one of three types. Strikes are special attacks, usually made as part of the Attack action. Counters are reactions triggered in response to another creature’s Action. Stratagems provide temporary tactical effects or buffs. You can initiate only one maneuver of each type on your turn.

Tiers. Maneuvers are divided into four tiers by power and required level: Tier 1 can be learned at level 2+, Tier 2 at level 5+, Tier 3 at level 10+ and Tier 4 at level 15+.

Initiating a Maneuver. To initiate a maneuver you must be proficient with any weapon used as part of it and meet all listed requirements. Unless a maneuver states otherwise, it must be declared before the attack roll is made. Maneuvers that are declared on a hit are announced after the attack roll succeeds but before damage is rolled.

Saving Throws. If a maneuver calls for a saving throw, the saving throw DC is determined by its group. Brutal maneuvers use Strength. Martial and Marksmanship maneuvers use the same ability modifier used for the triggering attack. Cunning maneuvers use Dexterity.

Exert. Some maneuvers have an Exert option. When you Exert a maneuver, you spend additional Stamina to enhance its effects, as detailed in the maneuver’s Exert entry.

Martial Die. Some maneuvers add damage using your Martial Die, the size of which is determined by your class features. Damage from Martial Dice is not doubled on a critical hit.

Work-in-Progress

House Rules & Additions

This chapter contains changes to base combat rules. In line with most other rule changes presented in this document, the aim of these changes is to make combat more tactical, exciting, intuitive and balanced. Choices will have more weight to them and revolve more around pro's and con's.

Healing Potions

You may use your Bonus Action to use a healing potion normally, or you may spend a Full Action to gain maximize healing effect from the potion instead.

Multiclassing & Martial Maneuvers

When a player decided to multiclass, the following rules apply for maneuvers and Stamina:

• Maneuvers Known. The number of maneuvers known from different classes are added together.

• Martial Dice. The amount of Stamina you have available is based on your proficiency bonus gained from classes belonging to the Warrior group. For example, if you have 5 levels in Fighter and 4 levels in Barbarian, your Warrior level is considered 9. At level 9, your proficiency bonus is +4 and thus you will have 4 Stamina. On the other hand, if you would have 5 levels in Wizard and 4 levels in Fighter, your Warrior level would be 4. At level 4 you have a proficiency bonus of +2, and thus your would only have 2 Stamina.

Resting

Heroic though they might be, Adventurers can’t spend every hour of the day in the thick of Exploration, Social Interaction, and Combat. They need rest — time to sleep and eat, tend their wounds, refresh their minds and spirits for Spellcasting, and brace themselves for further adventure.

Adventurers can take Short Rests in the midst of an Adventuring day and a Long Rest to end the day.

Long Rest

A Long Rest is a period of extended downtime at least 8 hours long during which a creature sleeps for at least 6 hours and performs no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as reading, talking, eating, or standing watch.

---

Benefits of a Long Rest:

• Recovery. You regain all Hit Points. When you rest in a comfort, such as an inn, ship, or tiny hut, you also recover all Hit Dice and 2 levels of Exhaustion. If you find a place to take a Long Rest in the wilderness, however, you only recover half of your Hit Dice (rounded down) and 1 level of Exhaustion.
• HP Max Restored. If your Hit Point Maximum was reduced, it returns to normal.
• Ability Scores Restored. If any of your Ability Scores were reduced, they return to normal.

---

A creature can’t benefit from more than one Long Rest in a 24-hour period, and a creature must have at least 1 Hit Point at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.

Short Rest

A Short Rest is a period of Downtime, at least 15 minutes, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.

---

Interrupting the Rest
If a Long Rest is interrupted by combat or by 1 hour of walking, casting Spells, or similar activity, the rest confers no benefit and must be restarted; however, if the rest was at least 1 hour long before the interruption, the creature gains the benefits of a Short Rest.

Art: Baelrog (Midjourney AI)

---

A character can spend one or more Hit Dice at the end of a Short Rest, up to the character’s maximum number of Hit Dice, which is equal to the character’s level.

For each Hit Die spent in this way, the player rolls the die and adds the character’s Constitution modifier to it. The character regains Hit Points equal to the total. The player can decide to spend an additional Hit Die after each roll.

A character can benefit from a limited number of Short Rests in between Long Rests. This is limited to a number of times equal to one plus half your proficiency bonus.

Two-Weapon Fighting

Two-Weapon fighting means your are wielding two weapons simultaneously, by holding each weapon in a different hand.

Once on your turn, when you take the Attack action and attack with a Light weapon in one hand (referred to as your main-hand), you can also attack with a Light weapon you are wielding in your other hand (referred to as your off-hand) as part of the same Attack action. You don’t add your attack modifier to the damage of your off-hand weapon unless that modifier is negative. If either weapon has the Thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it. Each turn, you main-hand is defined as the weapon u use to make the first attack with. The other is automatically considered your off-hand (for that turn).

Unarmed Strike

An Unarmed Strike is a Melee Attack that involves you using your body to damage, grapple, or shove a target within 5 feet of you, and thus does not necessarily require your to have free hands. Whenever you use your Unarmed Strike, choose one of the following options for its effect:

• Damage. You make an attack roll against the target. Your bonus to hit equals your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a hit, the target takes Bludgeoning damage equal to 1 + your Strength modifier.

• Grapple. The target must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (it chooses which), or it has the Grappled condition. The DC for the saving throw and any escape attempts equals 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. This grapple is possible only if the target is no more than one size larger than you and if you have a hand free to grab it.

• Shove. The target must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (it chooses which), or you either push the target 5 feet away or cause it to have the Prone condition. The DC for the saving throw equals 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. This shove is possible only if the target is no more than one size larger than you
