Path of the Executioner (5e Subclass)
Path of the Executioner[edit]
Barbarian Subclass
A huge barbarian with a golden warhammer looks to its crying enemy, a smile gleams upon his face as he sends down the warhammer several times.
A barbarian screams in rage as his golden warhammer grows in size; with one strike, he sends his foe some feet away.
A barbarian gets both hands on his Golden warhammer and brings the hammer down upon his foe, knocking him prone... permanently.
This is a subclass designed for cruel, brute barbarians who want to destroy all foes that dare cross their path. This subclass was based in, even though it has nothing to deal with, Smough, The Executioner, from Dark Souls and its golden Executioner’s Hammer.
- Executioner’s Hammer
At 3rd level, you can attune any weapon that deals bludgeoning damage over the course of a long rest, so it becomes the Executioner’s Hammer. You can only have one weapon attuned at a time.
- Raging Executioner’s Joy
Starting at 3rd level, while you are in rage, your Executioner’s Hammer deals an extra 1d6 Psychic damage. The damage increases to 2d6 at 10th level and 3d6 at 14th level.
- Executioner's Delight
At 6th level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with your Executioner's hammer, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Barbarian level + your Strength modifier.
- Rage Smash
When you reach 10th level, your affinity with your warhammer is unparalleled. As an action, you can slam your Executioner's Hammer in the ground, forcing all creatures within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus). A creature takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet back and knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much and is not pushed or knocked on a success. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain your uses of it after finishing a long rest.
- Executioner’s Revenge
Starting at 14th level, whenever you’re hit with a melee attack you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that attacker.
