PATH OF THE WORLD TREE
Barbarians who follow the Path of the World Tree believe that their Rage links them to the guardian of the forests, the Great Deku Tree. This “world tree” grows in the Lost Woods and has roots that spread across the forests all over the world and through its lesser kin, the Maku Trees. These Barbarians draw on their connection to the world tree as a source of vitality and as a means of travel across the realm.
Vitality of the Tree
At 3rd level, your Rage taps into the lifeforce of the World Tree. You gain the following benefits:
Vitality Surge. When you activate your Rage, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Barbarian level.
Life-Giving Force. At the start of each of your turns while your Rage is active, you can choose another creature within 10 feet of yourself to gain Temporary Hit Points. To determine the number of Temporary Hit Points, roll a number of d6s equal to your Rage Damage bonus, and add them together. If any of these Temporary Hit Points remain when your Rage ends, they vanish.
Branches Of The Tree
Starting at 6th level, you can grasp enemies with the branches of the World Tree. While your Rage is active, whenever a creature you can see starts its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to summon spectral branches of the World Tree around it. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC equal to 8 plus your Proficiency Bonus plus your Strength modifier) or be teleported to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of yourself or in the nearest unoccupied space you can see. The space the target teleports to must be on a surface or liquid that can support it; otherwise, the target doesn’t teleport. After the target teleports, you can reduce its Speed to 0 until the end of the current turn.
Battering Roots
At 10th level, tendrils of the World Tree extend from your Melee weapons. During your turn, while you wield a Melee weapon with the Heavy or Versatile property, your reach with that weapon increases by 10 feet. The first time you hit a creature with this weapon on your turn, you can make a Shove attack as part of the same attack.
Travel Along The Tree
Finally at 14th level, you can briefly travel along the World Tree. When you activate your Rage and as a Bonus Action while it’s active, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. In addition, when you teleport using this feature, you can bring up to six willing creatures who are within 10 feet of yourself, and the range you can teleport increases to 500 feet. Each creature teleports to an unoccupied space of your choice within 10 feet of your destination space. You can teleport other creatures with you only once per Rage.
