Barbarian: Path of the Dance

Lights. Axes. Jazz hands. Barbarians who follow the Path of
the Dance channel the flame of their rage into spectacular,
choreographed and deadly dance. These warriors literally dance
across the battlefield, their movements a blur as they strike swiftly
and move on before their enemies can react.

Dancer’s Agility
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can take a
bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can
be used only to take the Dash action. Additionally, you may use
your dexterity modifier in place of your strength modifier when
making attacks and saving throws.

Whirlwind Strike
At 3rd level, when you make a melee weapon attack against a
creature, you can immediately make another attack against a
different creature within 5 feet of your original target. You don’t
add your ability modifier or rage bonus to the damage of the
whirlwind strike attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Dance of Avoidance
Starting at 6th level while raging, when your movement provokes
one or more attacks of opportunity, you may use your reaction to
roll an acrobatics check. While you move this turn, your AC is
equal to the total you rolled for your acrobatics check until the
end of your turn. You may use this ability a number of times equal
to your dexterity modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all
expended uses after finishing a short or long rest.

Maniac
Starting at 10th level, you become a whirlwind of destruction on
the battlefield when you rage. As a bonus action while raging,
you can enter a maniacal rage until the end of your turn. In this
state, if you use your full movement, you can make one melee
attack against each creature you passed within range during your
movement. Alternatively, when facing a creature that is Huge
or larger, you can unleash your fury in up to four melee
attacks against it. Only the first of these attacks is made
with your attack bonus, while the subsequent attacks
are made as off-hand attacks.
