📋 About This Mod
Adds a 5e RAW faithful version of the Giant Barbarian subclass. Sewinlife brought this subclass to BG3 originally, but is no longer maintaining it. My version is a complete refresh and rewrite, but I credit Sewinlife for their original

[]This mod officially supports progression to Level 20 with Expansion. Other similar mods will probably work, but I am not testing them.

]For the best tabletop Barbarian experience in BG3 I highly suggest you also use a mod that implements Reckless Attack properly. I recommend mine.[]BG3's Throwing implementation is just... wrong, and bad. I have tried to fit the subclass within the game's mechanics as best I could but there are some things that the game does that stray too hard from tabletop rules. Noted where applicable below.
Path of the Giant
Barbarians who walk the Path of the Giant draw strength from the same primal forces as giants. As they rage, these barbarians surge with elemental power and grow in size, taking on forms that evoke the glory of giants. Some barbarians look like oversized versions of themselves, perhaps with a hint of elemental energy flaring in their eyes and around their weapons. Others transform more dramatically, taking on the appearance of an actual giant or a form similar to an Elemental, wreathed in fire, frost, or lightning.

Giant’s Power
When you choose this path, you learn to speak, read, and write Giant or one other language of your choice if you already know Giant. Additionally, you learn a cantrip of your choice: either druidcraft or thaumaturgy. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
IMPLEMENTATION: Spells are Rules as Written (Druidcraft requires the 5e Spells mod). Language has no applicability in BG3, so instead you will get half your proficiency rounded down to social interactions with Giants. Not sure there will be many chances to use this, but it's something.
Giant’s Havoc
Your rages pull strength from the primal might of giants, transforming you into a hulking force of destruction. While raging, you gain the following benefits:
- []Crushing Throw. When you make a successful ranged attack with a thrown weapon using Strength, you can add your Rage Damage bonus to the attack’s damage roll.
- Giant Stature. Your reach increases by 5 feet, and if you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with anything you are wearing. If there isn’t enough room for you to increase your size, your size doesn’t change.
IMPLEMENTATION: Rules as Written. Rage is replaced by "Giant's Havoc." Base game Rage gives Rage damage to Throw, but it caps at 2. It scales properly for the Giant. The Giant's Rage and Reckless Attack also
