The Barbarian "Path of the Sun Titan"

Path of the Sun Titan

The "Path of the Sun Titan" is Barbarian subclass recently released on Dungeon Master's Guild. Created and posted by Nikos Konstans, the subclass grants Barbarians weapons empowered by fire and increases their resistance to heat and cold.

Let's take a look at the first feature the subclass grants:

Grace of the Sun

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, your rage invokes the heat of the sun. While raging, you gain resistance to cold and fire damage. Additionally, your weapons are cloaked in flame dealing an additional 1d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the damage die increases in size: 1d8 at 6th level, 1d10 at 10th level and 1d12 at 14th level.

This feature is taste of what this subclass has to offer. The additional damage the subclass grants makes this type of Barbarian a frontline heavy hitter. Traditionally, Barbarians serve as better tanks than the Fighter or Paladin due to their d12 hit die and damage resistances. As both cold and fire damage are relatively common damage types, the defenses provided by the subclass will certainly come in handy! Having complete resistance to the 9th level spell Meteor Swarm will come in handy with higher-level play.
