Rage 
In	
  battle,	
  you	
  fight	
  with	
  primal	
  ferocity.	
  On	
  your	
  turn,	
  
you	
  can	
  enter	
  a	
  rage	
  as	
  a	
  bonus	
  action. 	
  
	
   While	
  raging,	
  you	
  gain	
  the	
  following	
  benefits	
  if	
  you	
  
aren’t	
  wearing	
  heavy	
   armor:	
  
• You	
  have	
  advantage	
  on	
  Strength	
  checks	
  and
Strength	
  saving	
  throws.
• When	
  you	
  make	
  a	
  melee	
  weapon	
  attack	
  using
Strength,	
  you	
  gain	
  a	
  bonus	
  to	
  the	
  damage	
  roll	
  that
increases	
  as	
  you	
  gain	
  levels	
  as	
  a	
  barbarian,	
  as
shown	
  in	
  the	
  Rage	
  Damage	
  column	
  of	
  the
Barbarian	
  table.
• You	
  have	
  resistance	
  to	
  bludgeoning,	
  piercing,	
  and
slashing	
  damage.
If	
  you	
  are	
  able	
  to	
  cast	
  spells,	
  you	
  can’t	
  cast	
  them	
  or	
  
concentrate	
  on	
  them	
  while	
  raging. 	
  
	
   Your	
  rage	
  lasts	
  for	
  1	
  minute.	
  It	
  ends	
  early	
  if	
  you	
  
are	
  knocked	
  unconscious	
  or	
  if	
  your 	
  turn	
  ends	
  and	
  
you	
  haven’t	
  attacked	
  a	
  hostile	
  creature	
  since	
  your	
  
last	
  turn	
  or	
  taken	
  damage	
  since	
  then.	
  You	
  can	
  also	
  
end	
  your	
  rage	
  on	
  your	
  turn	
  as	
  a	
  bonus	
  action. 	
  
	
   Once	
  you	
  have	
  raged	
  the	
  number	
  of	
  times	
  shown	
  
for	
  your	
  barbarian	
  level	
  in	
  the	
  Rages	
  column	
  o f	
  the	
  
Barbarian	
  table,	
  you	
  must	
  finish	
  a	
  long	
  rest	
  before	
  
you	
  can	
  rage	
  again. 	
  
Unarmored Defense 
While	
  you	
  are	
  not	
  wearing	
  any	
  armor,	
  your	
  Armor	
  
Class	
  equals	
  10	
  +	
  your	
  Dexterity	
  modifier	
  +	
  your	
  
Constitution	
  modifier.	
  You	
  can	
  use	
  a	
  shield	
  and	
  still	
  
gain	
  this	
  benefit.
