Barbarian Primal Paths v2.1.0 - Public Update! (Patreon)

Hello everyone! It has been over a year (!!) since I've updated the majority of my subclass compendiums, so I think it is time to start revisiting these - starting with the Barbarians' Compendium of Primal Paths.

I've learned a lot as a designer (both game design and graphic design) since I last worked on my subclass compendiums, so I'm very excited to give them a fresh coat of paint over the next couple of months!

PRIMAL PATHS!

Included here are 12 Primal Paths, 2 Alternate Primal Paths, and 2 Patreon Exclusive Primal Paths for a total of 16 Barbarian Subclasses - PHEW!!!!

Most of them have only had slight updates to bring them in line with the versions I created for my Alternate Barbarian Class. However, there are a few new things:

Path of the Champion (NEW). Have you ever noticed how well the Champion Archetype for the Fighter fits on the Barbarian? I have! With some small tweaks, you've now go the perfect subclass to play as an Olympian Hero.

Path of the Favored (NEW). Touched by Fate, play as a wondrous hero of legend who has a way of succeeding when all others fail. Ever wanted to play Heracles, Ajax, Achilles, or Beowulf? Try out this Primal Path!

Path of the Packleader (NEW). It has been fun adding a "pet" subclass to the other classes, so I thought I'd give it a shot with the Barbarian. I recommend flavoring your Savage Companion as a Giant Boar.

Path of the Reaver (Update). Instead of (awkwardly) straddling the designs of my Alternate Fighter and the PHB Battle Master, this Primal Path now gains access to a curated list of Maneuvers from the PHB Battle Master. Check out the version for my Alternate Barbarian if you want a Barbarian with Alt Fighter Exploits.

Path of the Wyrmblood (NEW). Another subclass that Fizban forgot; the dragon Barbarian! This subclass was pretty low-hanging fruit, and won't win any awards for being the most unique subclass I've designed, but I think it would be a classic archetype that would be great fun to play.

Path of Beauty (Patreon Exclusive). Please don't use this to play as a Magical Girl Barbarian, that would be a terrible idea and you definitely shouldn't do it.

Path of the Wilder (Patreon Exclusive). What if you had psionic powers that you never learned to control and they only came out while you were Raging?! Based on my take on the Psion class.
