Walk in Community with the Animal World

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Wild Heart view themselves as kin to animals. These Barbarians learn magical means to communicate with animals, and their Rage heightens their connection to animals as it fills them with supernatural might.

Animal Speaker

You can cast the Beast Sense and Speak with Animals spells but only as Rituals. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them.

Rage of the Wilds

Your Rage taps into the primal power of animals. Whenever you activate your Rage, you gain one of the following options of your choice.

Bear

While your Rage is active, you have Resistance to every damage type except Force, Necrotic, Psychic, and Radiant.

Eagle

When you activate your Rage, you can take the Disengage and Dash actions as part of that Bonus Action. While your Rage is active, you can take a Bonus Action to take both of those actions.

Wolf

While your Rage is active, your allies have Advantage on attack rolls against any enemy of yours within 5 feet of you.
