Rauthmann

We reave and plunder. Take what's ours by right, given unto us by the Allfathir. Gold and trinkets we do not need, not really. 'Tis the clash of steel, boiling of blood, dance with Death we crave. This too, is rightfully given to us by our God. And for all these gifts granted to us, we must be ready to give back in return in equal measure. It is the Rauthmann who protects this world from the monsters in the north. It is the Rauthmann who gives his life protecting those who hate him. It matters not in the end. The runes were cast long ago and it could not have gone any other way; this is why I do not despair. A true son of Wótann accepts what cannot be changed and strives on against impossible odds. A true Rauthmann celebrates those odds, for with greater hardship comes greater chance for glory. Glory brings Wótann's gaze upon you and a chance to become exalted, a true Jǫtunn.

Inhabitant of the Ice Wastes: You have resistance to cold damage. In addition, you have advantage on Forage checks in Tundras and Frozen terrain. You have proficiency in Survival skill and you can double your proficiency bonus in Survival checks.

Rage: You can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:

You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your proficiency bonus.
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
At the end of each of your turns, you take psychic damage equal to 10 % of your maximum hp. This damage cannot be negated or reduced in any way.

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging. Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Jǫtunn-blood: After reaching level 15, you can sign a pact with Wótann, swearing an oath to complete a mighty deed. If the deed is done, you will be transformed into a Goliath. Failing to honour your oath or swearing a vain oath will incur divine wrath upon you. Northerner warparties are often accompanied by gigantic creatures, resembling grey- or blueskinned men, covered in intricate tattoos that glow when these monstrous beings become enraged. They equal Ogres in power and toughness, yet are clearly much more intelligent than their duller cousins, shouting coherent orders to their followers and even attempting diplomacy at times. It is not known how these monsters came to be, or why they are allied with these northern barbarians in the first place, but they are dangerous beings, ones best avoided, at worst placated with food and coin.
