So I decided to make some archetypes to make multiclasses less necessary, and to make multiclasses that don't work work. These are archetypes meant to imitate the flavor(if not the crunch) of a multiclass, without multiclassing. I am trying to not use any of the crunch of the mimic class, sometimes it is unavoidable(as with brawler) but i am trying.
First off, a path to give the power of a monk to a fighter
Brawler
http://asset.103.ggftw.net/wiki/df-w/images/f/f5/Male_Brawler.png
While most people think of monks when they think of unarmed fighters, some unarmed combatenets just beat people with there fists, lakeing the mysticism of the monk. These are the brawlers.
Fist of death
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in your own body as a weapon. This body does 1d4 damage.
Your ac when not wearing armor is 10+your strength modifier+your con modifier
Improved fists
Starting at 7th level. Your unarmed attack is a 1d6 instead of a 1d4. They also count as magical for the purpose of overcomeing resistance. You can grapple creatures 2 sizes larger than you, but you grapple creatures 2 sizes larger than you at disadvantage.
Stronger than an ox
at 10th level, your unarmed attack changes to a 1d8. You no longer have disadvantage when you grapple creatures 2 sizes larger than you.
Destroyer
Starting at 15th level, You have advantage on all rolls to lift heavy things, or move heavy things.You have advantage on rolls to destroy things with your body.
God grappler.
Starting at 18th level, you are a paragon of bodily streangth. Your unarmed attacks change to a 1d10. You can grapple anything, and have advantage on grappling checks.
A path which gives the barbarian the musical talents of the bard
The skald.
For some barbarians the thrill of rageing is not enough, they want to lead they're allies to victory. They want to inspire them with they're music, and have managed to tie they're rage to they're music. You are one of these barbarians, a leader of mortals who inspires rage in a way beyond any other.

Musical rage.
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in performance as well at 3 instruments of your choice. While rageing you have advantage on all performance checks. You also gain the ability to drive your allies into rage with your music. To do this you must make some kind of noise, and spend one of your rages. You are then doing a song of rage, you must maintain concentration on the rage as if it were a spell, and the ally has to be able to hear you for the entirty of their rage.
Lead the Battle
Beggining at 6th level, while rageing you can inspire your allies to attack. Durreing your turn while you are rageing you can spend a bonus action to have one of your allies perform a weapon attack. THey must be able to hear you and you must make some sort of noise. The weapon attack is normal exept instead of the normal to hit, they instead use your performance skill.
The rage of an army
Starting at level 10, you can make multiple allies rage. When you use your musical rage, you may spend multiple rages and have multiple people rage, one rage equals one ally rageing. All of your rages share the same concentration.
You may spend an attack to do an awesome solo. When you do, all of your allies that you have raging gain advantage on there next roll.
Undying rage
Starting at level 14, when someone does a death saving throw while under the effect of your rage, they have advantage. And when they succeed, they restore one of your hit die in health.
