Some warriors hail from untamed lands deemed inhospitable. These combatants, barbarians by name, are among the hardiest and most physically powerful warriors in the world. Though you may be born in the frozen wastes, the sweltering jungle, or the vast plains, your class options focus around your ability to slip into a state of frenzy, compounding your natural toughness and strength. Barbarian is a class that fights supremely well in bursts. Your class favors offense over defense, and has a lot of hit points to help absorb all the hits you’ll be taking.
BARBARIANS AS ADVENTURERS
Barbarians rely on immense strength and a familiarity with violence to work as capable adventurers. Most barbarians feel more at home in the wilds or a battlefield than they do in big cities or unfamiliar finery.
Though barbarian adventurers commonly ally with skilled diplomats and cunning scholars, no ally is better suited to the bloodshed and chaos of combat than the barbarian. Whether facing maniacal hazards, scaling sheer cliffs, or holding off a swarm of ravenous undead, the barbarian is a powerhouse who survives horrific punishment with a smile.

Boons
When you reach 10th level and 20th level in your chosen class, you gain the Heroic Boon and Epic Boon class features (see Player’s Guide), which allow you to choose one potent ability from a list of options. This section offers additional boons to choose from when you reach those levels of the barbarian class.
Heroic Boons
When you reach 10th level in the barbarian class, you have the following additional options to choose from when selecting the boon for your Heroic Boon feature.
Heroic Boon
10th-Level Barbarian Feature
Your commitment to the barbarian’s path grants you a powerful ability. Choose one of the following heroic boons:
- Bloody Rage. While you are raging (see Rage feature in Player’s Guide), any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage you deal with a weapon attack ignores resistances and immunities.
- Vengeful Rage. When a hostile creature damages you while you are raging (see Rage feature in Player’s Guide), you have advantage on the first attack you make against that creature on your next turn.
Epic Boons
When you reach 20th level in the barbarian class, you have the following additional options to choose from when selecting the boon for your Epic Boon feature.
Epic Boon
20th-Level Barbarian Feature
Your commitment to the barbarian’s path grants you a powerful new ability. You gain one of the following epic boons:
- Mighty Champion. When you make a STR-based weapon attack with advantage and successfully hit, you automatically deal maximum damage with that attack.
- Unbreakable Champion. When you enter a rage (see Rage feature in Player’s Guide), you automatically heal a number of hit points equal to half your CON score and gain temporary hit points equal to your full CON score.
