Path of the Tempest

All Barbarians harbor fury. Their rage grants them Strength, Durability, and Speed. Those who follow the Path of the Tempest, however, have learned to transform that Rage into a mantle of primal magic. When using their Fury, these Storm Barbarians tap into the forces of nature to bring forth powerful magic. The most powerful Storm Barbarians are trained by the Sea Folk.

Storm Aura

Starting at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.
Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose desert, sea, or tundra. Your aura’s effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your environment choice whenever you gain a level in this class.
If your aura’s effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
Desert When this effect is activated, all other creatures in your aura take 2 fire damage each. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.
Sea When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.
Tundra When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura gains 2 temporary hit points, as icy spirits inure it to suffering. The temporary hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.

Storm Soul

At 6th level, the storm grants you benefits even when your aura isn’t active. The benefits are based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.
Desert You gain resistance to fire damage, and you don’t suffer the effects of extreme heat, as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch a flammable object that isn’t being worn or carried by anyone else and set it on fire.
Sea You gain resistance to lightning damage, and you can breathe underwater. You also gain a swimming speed of 30 feet.
Tundra You gain resistance to cold damage, and you don’t suffer the effects of extreme cold, as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch water and turn a 5-foot cube of it into ice, which melts after 1 minute. This action fails if a creature is in the cube.

Shielding Storm

At 10th level, you learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from the Storm Soul feature while the creature is in your Storm Aura.

Raging Storm

At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.
Desert Immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity aving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes fire damage equal to half your barbarian level.
Sea When you hit a creature in your aura with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by a wave.
Tundra Whenever the effect of your Storm Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura. That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn, as magical frost covers it.

Career

Qualifications

Experienced Barbarian

Perception

Social Status

The Thunders are known for their boisterous tales, their bottomless stomach, and their loud laughter.  While some brace themselves for the inevitable broken furniture, walls, or windows - most are all too willing to accept the Thunders with open arms.  Few dangers would be willing to risk the fury of a Thunder when their rest is interrupted.

History

The first Thunder was a Halfling - something that somehow catches most by surprise.  What was even more surprising was that the Thunder was a Padfoot.  Griff the Unyielding was a small creature known for somehow laying every foe out flat on their backs - no matter the size difference.  And always with a strange smile and quiet superiority.

Operations

Tools

Thunders use... whatever they like.  Whatever is at hand.  From a table leg to a mug to a hammer - everything is dangerous if a Thunder wishes it to be.

Alternative Names

The Thunders

Demand

Those near the coast and near the Wall prefer the presence of the Thunders as often as they can get them - even if that presence results in damages.
