Barbarian Subclass: Path of the Earthshaker

Barbarians with a connection to banished gods may follow the Path of the Earthshaker. These ancient gods of Cimmeria were locked away by the Olympians. The Titans, the Goblin gods, and monstrous deities, all or none of these could be the source or inspiration for a barbarian’s power. As these great beings shake the earth, so too does an Earthshaker barbarian. When opponents are knocked off balance the axe can be brought down upon their heads.

Ground Pound
Level 3: When you cause a creature to have the Prone condition while your Rage is active, you may make an extra attack against it.

Execution Strike
Level 6: Your Rage Damage is doubled against Prone targets.

Seismic Upheaval
Level 10: While your Rage is active, you have Advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to resist being pushed, pulled, or knocked Prone. Additionally, difficult terrain composed of earth or stone doesn’t cost you extra movement.

Wrath of the Earthshaker
Level 14: While your Rage is active you may use an action to create an effect similar to the Earthquake spell. The spell is centered on your location and you are unaffected by it. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a use of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.
