Path of Pure Chaos

Despite the efforts of both gods and mortals, the universe is a lawless and unrestrained force. The innate chaos of both destruction and creation suffuse all living things, though some are more inherently attuned to the contradictory elements within them. Barbarians who walk the Path of Pure Chaos acknowledge that nothing in existence can truly be controlled, and by embracing the chaos at their core, they can allow that ingrained pandemonium to empower then in wildly powerful ways.

Aura of Chaotic Potential

3rd-level Path of Pure Chaos feature

You are able to tap into the chaotic potential within you anytime you engage in battle. When you enter your rage, roll of the Aura of Chaotic Potential table to determine the effect produced. The nature of chaos is fickle, however, and rolling a natural 1 on an attack roll while raging can have a potentially deadly unintended effect as well. Likewise, a natural 20 on an attack roll triggers an automatic use of Bedlam Strike.

If the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

The Aura of Chaotic Potential table begins as a d4 roll. This increases to a d6 at 6th level, a d8 at 10th level, and a d10 at 14th level.

Bedlam Strike

3rd-level Path of Pure Chaos feature

You gain the ability to trigger an additional effect immediately after you hit with an attack. When you successfully hit a target, you may choose to roll on the Bedlam Strike table and apply the effect. You can use your bedlam strike a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. You regain all of your expended uses of your bedlam strike when you finish a long rest.

While raging, rolling a natural 20 on an attack triggers a free use of Bedlam Strike.

If the effect of your bedlam strike requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

The Bedlam Strike table begins as a d4 roll. This increases to a d6 at 6th level, a d8 at 10th level, and a d10 at 14th level.

Tumultuous Throw

6th-level Path of Wild Magic feature

During a long rest, you can infuse one weapon with the boundless chaotic energies of the universe. Until your next long rest, the chosen weapon gains the thrown property with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If you throw the weapon, it reappears in your hand the instant after it hits or misses a target. The infused weapon's benefits are suppressed while a creature other than you wields it.

Deranged Protection

10th-level Path of Wild Magic feature

Anytime a creature that you can see and is within 60 ft. of you is hit with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to magically swap places with them. The triggering attack is then made against you instead.

A Harbinger of Chaos

14th-level Path of Wild Magic feature

You have become chaos incarnate, and as such, know how best to bring chaos to the world around you. As an action while you are raging, you are able to manifest a storm of roiling chaos as a 10 ft. sphere in a space you can see within 60 ft. When you manifest the storm, choose an effect from the list below.

The storm lasts for 1 minute or until your rage ends. While the storm is active, you can move it up to 20 ft. as a bonus action. You can also use an action to change the effect to a different one on the list. The saving throw DC for the storm equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

• The storm of roiling chaos crackles with licks of fire. Creatures that start their turn within 5 ft. of the sphere or enter its range for the first time on their turn must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage. Creatures take half damage on a successful save.
• The storm swirls with ice and snow. Creatures that start their turn within it or enter the sphere for the first time on their turn must make a Strength saving throw or take 1d8 bludgeoning damage and have their speed reduced to half.
• Acid rain drips from the stormy sphere. Creatures that start their turn in the radius of the storm or enter the area for the first time on a turn take 2d4 acid damage and have their AC reduced by 2 until the start of their next turn.
• Thunder booms and lightning sparks from the roiling chaos. Creatures that start their turn within its radius or who enter the area for the first time on their turn must make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.
• Psychic energy pulsates from the spherical storm ravaging the minds of those in its space. Creatures that start their turn within its radius or who enter the area for the first time on a turn must make succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or suffer the effects of the Confusion spell until the end of their next turn.

Once you use this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 2 uses of your Bedlam Strike to use it again.
