BARBARIAN VARIANT: ABERRANT TOTEM BARBARIAN
This variant, rather set of variants, functions identically to that of the totem barbarian described in Unearthed Arcana except that these totems will pertain to aberrations.
Im starting off with one and periodically will add others. I welcome others to provide their own, and PEACH those already present.
Deadly Dancer Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the ephemeral hangman totem does not gain the standard fast movement and trap sense barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.
At 1st-level, a deadly dancer-totem barbarian gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat.
At 3rd level, a deadly dancer-totem barbarian gains Frantic Rage as a bonus feat, even if he doesn't meet the normal prerequisites.
Ephemeral Hangman Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the ephemeral hangman totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.
A 1st-level ephemeral hangman-totem barbarian gains a +2 bonus on Hide checks.
A 2nd-level ephemeral hangman-totem barbarian gains a +2 bonus on Move Silently checks.
At 3rd level, an ephemeral hangman-totem barbarian gains Improved Grapple as a bonus feat, even if he doesn't meet the normal prerequisites.
At 5th level, an ephemeral hangman-totem barbarian gains Improved Initiative as a bonus feat.
Garbler Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the garbler totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.
At 1st-level, a garbler-totem barbarian gains Truename Training as a bonus feat.
At 2nd level, a garbler-totem barbarian gains Deformity (Teeth) as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the normal prerequisites. If he already possesses a bite attack, he gains the Improved Natural Attack (bite) feat instead.
At 3rd level, a garbler-totem barbarian gains Minor Utterance of the Evolving Mind as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the normal prerequisites, and the ability to use utterances while raging.
Beginning at 5th level, garbler-totem barbarian gains a bonus to truespeak checks while raging equal to his Constitution modifier.
Tooth Beast Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the tooth beast totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.
A 1st-level tooth beast-totem barbarian gains Bind Vestige as a bonus feat.
At 2nd level, a tooth beast-totem barbarian gains Improved Bind Vestige as a bonus feat
At 3rd-level, a tooth beast-totem barbarian gains Practiced binder as a bonus feat.
From 5th-level onward, a tooth beast-totem barbarian when binding Dahlver-Nar may do so as if they possessed the Soul binding class feature. For the purposes of binding Dahlver-Nar, their effective binder level is equal to their tooth beast-totem barbarian level. A tooth beast-totem barbarian may still bind other vestiges in place of Dahlver-Nar using the Bind Vestige feat, unless they take binder levels. Should a tooth beast-totem barbarian take levels in the Binder class, Knight of the Sacred Seal (Dahlver-Nar), or any other class that provides the soul binding class feature, their tooth beast-totem barbarian levels stack with their binder level only for the purpose of binding Dahlver-Nar. When Binding other vestiges and using other abilities based on binder level, these levels do not stack.
Umber Hulk Totem Class Features
A barbarian dedicated to the umber hulk totem does not gain the standard fast movement, uncanny dodge, trap sense, and improved uncanny dodge barbarian class features, and instead gains the following abilities.
At 1st level, an umber hulk-totem barbarian gains a burrow speed equal to one-half his base land speed (round down to the nearest 5-foot interval).
At 2nd level, an umber hulk-totem barbarian gains a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks.
A 3rd level umber hulk-totem barbarian gains Great Fortitude as a bonus feat.
At 5th level, an umber hulk-totem barbarian's burrow speed equals his base land speed.
