Barbarian changes in D&D's 2024 rules update

Tycho's Tales

We're reviewing all of the changes to classes in D&D's 2024 rules update, starting with the Barbarian! We cover changes to Rage, Danger Sense and Relentless Rage, as well as a bunch of new features including Weapon Mastery, Primal Knowledge, Instinctive Pounce, Brutal Strike, and the Epic Boon. We also cover changes to the existing two subclasses, Path of the Berzerker and Path of the Wild Heart (formerly Totem Warrior), as well as the two new subclasses (at least to the base PHB), Path of the World Tree and Path of the Zealot.
