Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious. • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast. • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, birthsign, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so, racial special features however, do not carry over. You also can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense. • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Barbarians who walk the Path of the Giant draw strength from the same primal forces as giants. As they rage, these barbarians surge with primal power and grow in size, taking on forms that evoke the glory of giants. Some barbarians look like oversized versions of themselves, others transform more dramatically, taking on the appearance of an actual giant or a form similar to a troll.

If you throw the weapon, it reappears in your hand the instant after it hits or misses a target. The infused weapon’s benefits are suppressed while a creature other than you wields it. On a hit with the infused weapon, if the target is a creature it must succeed a saving throw or be knocked prone. The DC calculation uses your Wisdom modifier.

An unwilling creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) to avoid the effect.

(3c) Totem of Fear: While raging you can use your action to frighten someone with your werewolfs roar. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or the target becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. If the frightened target takes any damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. While in Werewolf form, the range of this ability increases to 60 feet.
Path of the Giant: Primal Power
3rd level barbarian featureBarbarians who walk the Path of the Giant draw strength from the same primal forces as giants. As they rage, these barbarians surge with primal power and grow in size, taking on forms that evoke the glory of giants. Some barbarians look like oversized versions of themselves, others transform more dramatically, taking on the appearance of an actual giant or a form similar to a troll. When you choose this path, you learn to speak, read, and write Giant or one other language of your choice if you already know Giant. Addditonally both giants and trolls you encounter are more likely to be friendly towards you. Giant’s Havoc
3rd level barbarian feature
Your rages pull strength from the primal might of giants, transforming you into a hulking force of destruction. While raging, you gain the following benefits: • Crushing Throw. When you make a successful ranged attack with a thrown weapon using Strength, you can add your Rage Damage bonus to the attack’s damage roll.
• Giant Stature. Your reach increases by 5 feet, and if you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with anything you are wearing. If there isn’t enough room for you to increase your size, your size doesn’t change. Forceful Blows
6th level barbarian feature
Your bond with the might of giants grows, and you learn to infuse weapon attacks with primal energy. When you enter your rage, you can choose one weapon that you are holding and infuse it primal energy. While you wield the infused weapon during your rage, the weapon deals an extra 1d6 force damage when it hits, and it gains the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If you throw the weapon, it reappears in your hand the instant after it hits or misses a target. The infused weapon’s benefits are suppressed while a creature other than you wields it. On a hit with the infused weapon, if the target is a creature it must succeed a saving throw or be knocked prone. The DC calculation uses your Wisdom modifier.
Save DC = 8 + your proficency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
Mighty Impel
your Wisdom modifier
10th level barbarian feature
Your connection to giant strength allows you to hurl both allies and enemies on the battlefield. As a bonus action while raging, you can choose one Medium or smaller creature within your reach and move it to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of yourself. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) to avoid the effect. If, at the end of this movement, the thrown creature isn’t on a surface or liquid that can support it, the creature falls, taking damage as normal and landing prone. Demiurgic Colossus
14th level barbarian feature
The primal power of your rage intensifies. When you rage, your reach increases by 10 feet, your size can increase to Large or Huge (your choice), and you can use your Mighty Impel to move creatures that are Large or smaller. In addition, the extra damage dealt by your Forceful Blows feature increases to 2d6. Persistent Rage
15th level barbarian feature
Your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.
