Barbarians who take the path of the storm herald in Dungeons & Dragons use the power of nature to control the battlefield to hinder their foes and protect their allies. This class is built around choosing between one of three different elemental auras to control the battlefield.

Compared to other barbarians, you have more ways to attack than just hit hard, and even some minor support options, giving you a slightly more versatile role than the traditional tank. However, you lack the elemental damage capabilities and crowd-control options that spellcasters have, leaving you vulnerable while enemies target your more fragile allies.

Path of the Storm Herald Class Features

All the effects you get from this subclass are dependent on the aura you choose when you first take it at the third level. They all focus on one damage type, allowing extra options to inflict damage to that type and granting resistance to it.

Desert
Desert aura is primarily built around fire damage. To start with, you can damage everyone within a certain range, doing more damage as your level increases.
