Path of Booming Magnificence
Seeing her allies outnumbered and surrounded, Traya felt her rage growing as she sprinted toward the ravine. She leapt the 15 foot gap, landing amidst her foes and unleashing a mighty roar, as she began cutting them down one by one.
Traya, a Barbarian of the Path of Booming Magnificence
Barbarians who walk the Path of Booming Magnificence strive to be as lions among their people: symbols of vitality, majesty, and courage. They serve at the vanguard, leading their allies at each charge and drawing their opponents’ attention away from more vulnerable members of their group.
These barbarians are most known for their mighty battle roars. They use them to draw the ire of their foes, granting their allies a brief reprieve. And when they enter a rage, their fury is so great that it can inspire a battle lust in their allies, enhancing their physical prowess in battle. The most accomplished of this Path are even said to be able to send enemies fleeing with their roar alone, turning the tide of battle single-handedly.
Roleplaying Tips.
Barbarians of Booming Magnificence consider themselves protectors, and view their allies much like a lion views its fellow pride members. As they grow more experienced, members of this path often take on roles as leaders or in other integral positions. To that end, a barbarian of the Path of Booming Magnificence may join an adventuring party as part of a quest for glory, to prove themselves worthy of leading their clan or tribe. When considering a background, you could be a nomad, who has left their tribe in search of a powerful magic weapon. Or perhaps a mercenary recruit, who was exiled from their clan, and saw the mercenary life as the only outlet for their rage. Or you could subvert expectations, taking the politician background, acting as either a leader or political emissary for your clan. In any case, you are most likely motivated by a deep sense of honor and duty to protect, and should consider that in roleplaying scenarios.
