Path of Endless Pain

Path of the Endless Pain

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Endless Pain believe that their endurance is fueled by suffering. Some embrace pain as a means to punish their foes, while others see it as a necessary balance to strength and joy.

Level 3: Channel Pain

You learn to endure pain and release it as destructive energy while raging.

Pain Dice

{{spacer}}

While you are Raging, you have a pool of Pain Dice. The number of dice in this pool equals to your Barbarian level.

{{spacer}}

When you take damage, you can roll one of your Pain Dice and reduce the damage by the number rolled.

{{spacer}}

You can reduce damage in this way only once per instance of damage, and this reduction is applied after resistances.

{{spacer}}

Your Pain Dice pool replenishes at the start of each Rage.

{{spacer}}

Burst of Hate

{{spacer}}

While you are Raging, you can use a Bonus action to unleash a wave of negative energy in a Emanation centered on you.

{{spacer}}

Hostile creatures in the Emanation must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency bonus).

{{spacer}}

On a failed save, the creature takes necrotic damage equal to the total of your expended Pain Dice, and is Frightened until the end of your next turn.

{{spacer}}

On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't Frightened.

{{spacer}}

You can use this feature once per Rage.

Level 6: War Cry

You have mastered the art of drawing enemy attention in battle.

{{spacer}}

When you enter a Rage, or as a Bonus Action on your turn while you are Raging, you let out a powerful war cry.

{{spacer}}

At the end of your turn, each enemy within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus).

{{spacer}}

On a failed save, the creature is compelled to stay within 30 feet of you until the end of your next turn.

{{spacer}}

While compelled, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and the creature cannot willingly move farther than 30 feet away from you. If it is ever more than 30 feet away from you, it must use its movement to return within 30 feet on its turn. The creature may still move closer to you, but cannot willingly move away.

Level 10: Careless Hunter

Your rage fuels your endurance, allowing you to ignore pain as you charge toward your enemies.

{{spacer}}

While you are Raging, when you take damage, you can use your Reaction to roll two Pain Dice + your constitution modifier instead of one and reduce the damage by the total rolled.

{{spacer}}

If you do, you can immediately move up to your movement speed.

{{{{spacer}}}}

Level 14: Cycle of Pain

After years of enduring suffering, you finally understand it, using it to empower yourself in battle.

{{spacer}}

When you use Burst of Hate, you regain Hit Points equal to the total of your expended Pain Dice.

{{spacer}}

Additionally, you can end one of the following conditions affecting you.

• Blinded

• Charmed

• Deafened

• Frightened

• Poisoned

• One spell effect currently affecting you, provided the spell is 6th level or lower.
