Path of the Supernova (5e Subclass)
Path of the Supernova[edit]
Barbarian Subclass
Those who follow the Path of the Supernova, know that their rage, akin to a star's death, means the end for those around, but also new potential. Supernova followers let an astral energy flow through them as their rage heats up. This astral energy is akin to wild energy and is often unpredictable, however, always useful.

Hardened Crust: At third level you gain "Hardened Crust" While raging you gain a bonus +1 AC (+2 at 6th lvl, +3 at 10th lvl, +4 at 14th lvl, +5 at 17th lvl)
Cosmic Rage: Speaking of raging, your rages take on new, galactic abilities. Roll a 1d6 to determine the effect you gain. If the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
