Barbarian: Sumo
The Sumo Wrestler is a classic archetype that was perfected by the Gorons. These earthy giants would make use of their great girth and size to challenge greater giants of larger size to contests of strength from which Gorons would often walk away the victor. These techniques have since been learned by the smaller folk, who imitate the weight and style of Gorons by a rigid lifestyle of building muscle and fat so that they become giant-like among their own kind.
Sumo's Might
At 3rd level, you know how to use Sumo style in combat. You gain proficiency in Athletics if you don’t already have it and can add twice your proficiency to grapple checks. You are also proficient in Unarmed Strikes. While not carrying a weapon or shield, the die value for the damage of your Unarmed Strikes is equal to twice your proficiency bonus (i.e. a proficiency bonus of 4 would be a d8) + your Strength Modifier. You also gain the following features when you enter a Rage:- When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can make a grapple or shove attack as part of the same attack.
- You count as one size larger for the purposes of determining grapple checks.
- You do not suffer any movement penalty while a creature is grappled by you.
- When a creature grappled by you starts their turn, you can cause additional bludgeoning damage equal to twice your Rage Damage
