Barbarian #

Barbarians use Prowess to power many of their abilities. Every Barbarian has 3 Prowess in Adventurer Tier, 4 Prowess in Champion Tier, and 5 Prowess in Epic Tier. It’s restored during a Quick Rest.

Once per turn, you can spend 1 Prowess as a free action on or outside your turn to give 1 Disadvantage to an attack against your AC.

• Champion Perk: If the attack hits anyway, your first attack made before the end of your next turn gains 1 Advantage.
• Epic Perk: You have one extra maximum Prowess.

• Adventurer Perk: You also have access to Aggressive and Rapid stances, regardless of how armed you are.

• Adventurer Perk: You also gain 1 Advantage on attacks against Nearby enemies.
• Champion Perk: Once per turn while Raging, as a quick action on your turn, you may spend 1 Prowess to increase the damage die size of your melee attacks by one step until the start of your next turn.
• Epic Perk: Once per day, when you’re staggered by an attack by an engaged enemy, you may immediately make an Opportunity Attack against that enemy.

You gain the following ability:

Frenzy
Daily, Free

While Raging, your Advantage on attacks adds extra dice to your natural die result instead of how Advantage normally works. For example, if you have 2 Advantage, you would roll 5d6 and add them all together instead of keeping the three highest. This only applies to attacks where Rage would grant Advantage on the attack.

Special: You may only use this on your turn while Raging. It lasts until the end of the Rage, and while using this, you can’t end your Rage early. While this is in effect, at the end of every turn, you lose 1 Recovery.

• Adventurer Perk: While under the effect of Frenzy, your Natural 19+ attack rolls increase their damage multiplier for crits by 1 (so if your crits normally do triple damage, they now do quadruple damage).
• Champion Perk: Frenzy is now Recharge 13+.
• Epic Perk: When you activate Frenzy, all enemies engaged with you are Shaken (11+ save ends).

• Adventurer Perk: While you’re not Raging, you gain 1 Advantage on skill rolls to do something employing brute strength or pain tolerance.

• Epic Perk: Double the temporary HP gain if you’ve taken damage to non-temporary HP in the past round.

You tend towards vicious, bestial attacks, usually with your bare hands or by biting or scratching enemies. While you’re Raging, your melee attacks deal extra ongoing weapon damage equal to your level on a Natural 15+ Hit. This is multiplied as normal on a Crit.

You can use your Barbarian Skill for uses involving scent or low-light vision.

You can treat your Prowess as if it were also Guile (so you can spend 1 Prowess to give disadvantage to attacks vs PD as well). If you have both this and Instinct, you gain +1 PD (once, not once per talent).

• Adventurer Perk: One Rage per day, you can deal the ongoing damage on a Natural 13+ Hit instead of Natural 15+.
• Champion Perk: When you’re staggered, you automatically succeed at Disengage checks. You gain 1 Advantage when using your Barbarian Skill for uses involving scent or low-light vision.
• Epic Perk: If you or an enemy you’re attacking are staggered, increase the miss damage on the attack by your level. If both you and the enemy you’re attacking are Staggered, your attack gains 1 Advantage.

Your very method of moving is forceful enough to harm those in your way. Whenever you engage, disengage from, move away from, or pop off of a non-mook enemy or mook group on your turn, they take damage equal to your level (if this movement provokes Opportunity Attacks, the damage is applied afterwards).

A non-mook enemy or mook group can only take damage from this talent once per turn.

• Adventurer Perk: One encounter per day, double the damage dealt by this.
• Champion Perk: If you’re engaged with more than one mook before or after applying the damage from this talent, they’re Softened until the start of your next turn or until the first time an ally attacks them, whichever happens first.
• Epic Perk: This also applies to engagement, disengagement, movement, or popping off outside your turn.

• Adventurer Perk: If an enemy hasn’t acted yet during this encounter, you count them as having attacked you in the past round.
• Champion Perk: Double any Advantage gained from Raging against an enemy if you’d Intercepted an attack from them in the past round.
• Epic Perk: One encounter per day, if you’re hit by an engaged enemy while Raging, they’re now Shaken until the end of their next turn.

You always get where you want to go, no matter what anyone else has to say about it. You gain the following ability:

Heedless Advance
At-Will, Quick
Spend 1 Prowess

You may move. If this provokes any Opportunity Attacks, their damage is halved.

• Adventurer Perk: One encounter per day, you may do this as an Interrupt.
• Champion Perk: Heedless Advance can’t be Intercepted.
• Epic Perk: You may do this as an Interrupt (not just one encounter per day). One encounter per day, you may quarter Opportunity Attack damage when doing Heedless Advance instead of halve it.

Your reflexes are unparalleled. You can treat your Prowess as if it were also Guile (so you can spend 1 Prowess to give disadvantage to attacks vs PD as well). If you have both this and Animalism, you gain +1 PD (once, not once per talent).

You can start Raging as a free action when you roll Initiative.

• Adventurer Perk: One Rage per day, all ranged attacks against your AC gain 1 Disadvantage.
• Champion Perk: Opportunity Attacks against you gain 1 Disadvantage.
• Epic Perk: While Raging, you don’t take miss effects for attacks against AC or PD.

Your fury lends itself to severe stubbornness. You can treat your Prowess as if it were also Focus (so you can spend 1 Prowess to give disadvantage to attacks vs MD as well as AC).

One encounter per day, you’re immune to Dazed, Shaken, and Weakened while Raging.

• Adventurer Perk: You gain 1 Advantage on saves against Dazed or Shaken conditions.
• Champion Perk: While Raging, attacks against your MD gain 2 Disadvantage.
• Epic Perk: You have Resist 14+ against Psychic damage while raging.

• Adventurer Perk: If you spend 2 Prowess instead of 1, the Unstoppable recovery is free.
• Champion Perk: Add your level to the amount healed by Unstoppable recoveries.
• Epic Perk: On the first Unstoppable attack that you miss with during an encounter, refund any spent Prowess.

You are an absolute terror when surrounded. You gain the following ability:

Whirlwind
Melee, At-Will, Standard
Spend 1 Prowess

Make an attack against AC against each engaged non-mook enemy and 1d3+1 attacks against each engaged group of mooks.

Hit: Damage as a Basic Attack.

Special: After making all of your attacks, you are Softened until the start of your next turn (or Vulnerable if you’re already Softened).

• Adventurer Perk: Whirlwind now has miss damage equal to your level.
• Champion Perk: Disengage checks you make after using Whirlwind during your turn automatically succeed.
• Epic Perk: If you’re Raging and already Softened, Whirlwind no longer adds Vulnerable.

• Champion Perk: You can spend 1 Prowess to add the extra damage from this to miss damage on a Vicious Charge attack.
• Epic Perk: Once per encounter, when a Vicious Charge attack drops a non-mook enemy, you may heal using a recovery as a free action.

• Champion Perk: ou may spend 1 Prowess to subtract 1d4 from an attack roll against an ally next to you instead if that same attack doesn’t also target you.
• Epic Perk: Roll 1d6 instead of 1d4 for either use.

• Epic Perk: Roll 1d4 instead of 1d6.

• Epic Perk: When you’re Raging but not Frenzying, you have Resist Damage 12+.
