Barbarian Primal Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage.

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Most barbarians live by the blood, loving to see the sanguine disasters left behind by their combats. However, some barbarians are more enthralled by the coppery ichor. Perhaps they made contact with a vampire, or simply think that blood is art. These barbarians make blood more than it is, make it their armor. These barbarians are called Hemoguardians, and their work is always easy to spot, with rooms painted red when they're done. Fear the blood, and fear the Hemoguardians. Barbarian level Feature 3rd Hemoguard 6th Bloody Block 10th Sanguine Shield, Ichorous Interaction 14th Bloody Business

Hemoguard When you take this primal path at 3rd level, you learn how to use your own blood to form a shield for you, and how to supplement it with the blood of others. When you enter a rage, you gain temporary hit points equal to half of your Barbarian level (rounded down) + your Constitution modifier. These temporary hit points refresh upon landing a critical strike or when a creature within five feet of you falls to zero hit points. These temporary hit points fade upon rage ending.

Bloody Block Your greater control over blood allows you to block or deflect attacks as they come at you. At 6th level, while you are raging and have temporary hit points, when a creature attacks you with a melee weapon attack, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack.

Sanguine Shield Your blood has become stronger, more resilient. Starting at 10th level, the formula for Hemoguard’s temporary hit points is changed to your Barbarian level + your Constitution modifier.

Ichorous Interaction The blood running through your veins has mutated, granting you newfound confidence, or newfound abilities of persuasion. Perhaps, you have been influenced by the legendary charm of the vampire? Also at 10th level, while you have all of your hit points remains, you have advantage on Charisma checks.
