Barbarian: Path of the Iramancer | New Subclass!
Barbarians who follow the Path of the Iramancer, or simply iramancers, experience their rage in waves of potent magic that defy the norm. These magical surges are channeled to manifest as potent spells, tearing through adversaries with magical force, rather than brawn. A barbarian that walks this path is a force to be reckoned with, as they unify the unrestrained might of their rage with a wellspring of magical power, leaving a trail of chaotic and arcane destruction in their wake.
Channel your rage to cast a variety of elemental spells!
Unleash explosive waves of magic as you change your elemental alignment!
Use your +1 weapons to benefit your spells, and even apply your Brutal Criticals to their damage!
Since not all subclasses are tied to a specific setting in Saddlebag Year 6, consider the following pre-existing settings to align this with.
The Bloodmire
Dendallen
Direstone
Everglacier
The Festerwood
Grymclover Forests
Magmarath
Orostead
The Upheaval
Val Linsen

how about a College of Clownery for Bard?
I think that Mage Hand Press has a good one!
As part of the 6th lv feature its says that you gain resistance to damage from spells. Wanted to clarify if that's an actual feature or flavor text? Wording leaves me questioning it along with my inner dm going that might be a bit too strong along with the spell blast.
That's RAW, yep! It's the same perk as the Ancients Paladin, but only for yourself. It's not unlike something like a Bear Totem bard, but limited only to spell damage. Should be okay!
Amazing subclass, but I’m a bit confused how you know what spells each path can cast, does the player choose which spells each path has?
Never mind 😁
What cantrips and spells? I don't see the list for the options that should be available.
I forgot to include the Path spell lists! Give it a redownload!
Curious to see what the path spells are!

The way the subclass is worded, it makes me think that the magic paths (which I'm assuming are Cryomancy, Electromancy, etc) are supposed to have specific spells they have access to, but it seems that the document is missing those, or better descriptions of the magic paths. Is that an error? Or is magic path just sort of a flavor thing?

Wooaaaa cool
Can't wait for all the subclasses to get the foundry treatment!
