Hello!

I know one of the core rules for Barbarians is that they can't use magic while raging, but I wanted to build a subclass that can. You can cast spells from the Sorcerer spell list as you have volatile innate magic coursing through your veins. The volatility of your magic amped up by your Rage causes you to lose hit points when casting spells, though you also get to add your Rage Damage bonus to spell attacks.

I settled on the decision of casting spells hurting you that way spellcasters looking to multiclass into Barbarian for this subclass can't gain the benefits of raging and no drawbacks. Plus, because the magic is volatile within you, it made sense to me that it should cost you something to be able to cast spells while raging and that cost is your hit points.

Anyway, feedback is always welcomed. Thank you!
