You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

(a) a greataxe or (b) any martial melee weapon
(a) two handaxes or (b) any simple weapon
An explorer's pack and four javelins

Or, you could choose to start with 2d4 × 10 gp and purchase your equipment.

Class Abilities

Rage

In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action and gain the following benefits provided you aren't wearing heavy armour:

You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. This bonus damage increases as shown on the Barbarian Table.
You gain resistance to BLUNT, PIERCE and SLASH damage.
You cannot cast or concentrate on spells.
Your Rage lasts until the end of your next turn, and it ends early if you don Heavy armour or are Incapacitated. If your Rage is still active on your next turn, you can extend the Rage for another round by doing one of the following. Each time the Rage is extended, it lasts until the end of your next turn. You can maintain a Rage for up to 10 minutes.
- Make an attack roll against an enemy.
- Force an enemy to make a saving throw.
- Take a bonus action to extend your Rage.
You can use Rage a number of times as shown on the Barbarian Table, which replenishes after a long rest. After a short rest, you regain one use of Rage.

Unarmoured Defense

While you are not wearing any armour, your AC equals 10 + your DEX modifier + CON modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Weapon Mastery

Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of Simple or Martial Melee weapons of your choice, such as Greataxes and Handaxes. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can practice weapon drills and change one of those weapon choices.

When you reach certain Barbarian levels, you gain the ability to use the mastery properties of more kinds of weapons, as shown in the Weapon Mastery column of the Barbarian Features table.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd Level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with increased ferocity. When you make your first attack roll on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you Advantage on attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but attack rolls against you have Advantage during that time.

Primal Knowledge

When you reach 3rd level and again at 10th level, you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from the list of skills available to Barbarians at 1st level.

In addition, while your Rage is active, you can channel primal power when you attempt certain tasks; whenever you make an ability check using one of the following skills, you can make it as a Strength check even if it normally uses a different ability: Acrobatics, Intimidation, Perception, Stealth, or Survival. When you use this ability, your Strength represents primal power coursing through you, honing your agility, bearing, and senses.

Ability Score Improvement

At Levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 19, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this skill.

Extra Attack

At Level 5, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Fast Movement

At Level 5, your speed increases by 2m when you are not wearing heavy armour.

Attack of Opportunity*

From 6th Level onwards, you are able to train yourself to take advantage of any drop in guard of your enemies. You can choose to forgo spending a skill point to learn the Attack of Opportunity reaction below:

Reaction Trigger: A creature within your reach makes a ranged attack, leaves a square during its movement, or casts a spell with somatic (S) or material (M) components.

Effect: Make a melee weapon attack against the creature.

*Attack of Opportunity variant: You can only learn this feature if you are using this variant.

Instinctive Pounce

At 7th level, as part of the bonus action you take to enter your rage, you can move up to half your speed.

Brutal Critical

From 9th Level onwards, your critical hits and reckless attacks have become far more devastating.

When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice an additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit. This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice at 17th level.
When you use Reckless Attack, you can forgo any Advantage on one Strength-based attack roll of your choice on your turn. The chosen attack roll mustn't have Disadvantage. If the chosen attack roll hits, the target takes an extra +5 damage. This increases to +10 at 13th level and +15 at 17th level.

Undying Rage

At Level 11, your rage can now keep you fighting despite grievous wounds.

If you drop to 0 HP while you're raging and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 CON saving throw. If you succeed, your HP becomes a number equal to twice your Barbarian level.

Each time you use this skill after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Persistent Rage

At Level 14, your rage becomes so fierce that it persists through most circumstances.

Your Rage ends early only if you don Heavy armour or fall

or if you choose to end it as a free action.

Furthermore, once per long rest, you can regain all expended uses of Rage.

Primeval Might

At 18th Level, your power and might has become awesome to behold. If your total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

Champion of Battle

At Level 20, your STR and CON scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores also increase by 4.

Viking

Barbarians who follow the art of the Viking learn to transform their rage into a mantle of primal magick that swirls around them. When in a fury, they tap into nature to create powerful, magickal effects of storm and ice.

When you spend your first point in this skill tree, you must choose an Environment from Sea or Tundra. This Environment corresponds to the natural clime to which you attune to the most as a Viking. You might have grown up near the seas, or perhaps spent a lot of your time in colder climates. Your chosen Environment affects certain skills in this skill tree.

If a skill in this tree requires a creature to make a Saving Throw, the DC is calculated as 8 + your proficiency bonus + your CON modifier.

After you spend four points in this skill tree, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Arcana, Nature, or Survival. Moreover, you gain the ability to attune to the other Environment which you did not choose. You can spend 1 hour being at one with nature (for example, during a short rest) to change your currently attuned Environment to the other one.

After you spend eight points in this skill tree, you can now attune to the other Environment by spending 1 minute in meditation, rather than 1 hour.
