Path of the Scarred Witch Doctor (5e Subclass)
Path of the Scarred Witch Doctor[edit]
Barbarian Subclass
Scarred witch doctors are those rare few able to combine the power of rage with magic gained through their scars. They are sometimes wanderers, walking through the wilds alone, but also sometimes with warbands.

When you or your allies are raging, if they are stable or have at least 1 hit point, they regain 1 hit point at the start of their turn.
- Eternal Rage
You may cast Raise Dead as a 5th level spell, requiring the bodies of three foes slain within 4 hours as material components. When you cast it, the target comes back to life in a rage that lasts for 5 rounds, but is otherwise identical to the rage described in Eldritch Rage. You regain the ability to do this again when you finish two long rests.
