The Path of Focus

While many barbarians unleash their emotions in battle, flying into an beastial frenzy, there are some who's rage brings clarity and focus. Whether through discipline or simply by their nature, these warriors remain calm in the wildest frays. Their rage is not an explosion of savagery, but a sharpened blade made to strike with persicion and intention. Following The Path of The Focus takes more than brawn, one must be strong minded to seperate logic from emotion in the heat of battle. But doing so allows one to act with tact where others will give into instinct.

Many follow this path as a means to overcome their emotions, controlling their anger or coping with grief. Others seek self improvement through discipline and power, using their emotions as fuel for their prowess, both in and out of battle. Some even see this ability in a spiritual sense, they believe the awareness a master of this path feels is akin to that of a god or even Mother Nature herself.

Focused Rage

Your rage is not a red mist that sends you into a frenzy, but an adrenaline-fueled state of clarity and hyperawareness. At 3rd level, using your rage gives three more benefits:

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened

Creatures gain no benefit from being hidden from you.

You can add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded up) to wisdom saving throws if you aren't proficient.

Clear Mind

You can spend time meditating and enter a state of absolute calm, improving your rationality. At 3rd level, you can spend 10 minutes in a meditative trance. Afterwards, you gain advantage on all skill checks you make with one wisdom-based skill of your choice for the next hour. You may only use this ability once per long rest. After 10th level, you may use Clear Mind twice between rests.

Precision Strike

Starting at 6th level, you have learned to pour all of your power into one accurate, powerful strike. While raging, you can declare an attack to be a Presicion Strike. This attack is considered a critical hit, automattically hitting and dealing additional damage as if you had rolled a 20 on your attack roll. Your rage ends immediately after the Presicion Strike is complete and you may not use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

Quick Mind

Your focus is sharp enough to allow you to push your body further than before, acting quicker in battle. Begining at 10th level, you can take the shove action, search action, or make a grapple attack as a bonus action while raging.

Absolute Awareness

Your control and exerting of your emotions is on a supernatural level, allowing you to react with incredible speed. Begining at 14th level, you can enter your rage as a reaction to being hit. After being hit, you enter your rage and can take an action before initiative continues. If you are already raging, you may expend another use of your rage to active this ability. Absolute Awareness can only be used once per short rest.
