Goliaths of this path turn their imposing stature into a promise: danger that comes for their companions must first get past them. Their rage is the force of a mountain giving way—not a blind frenzy, but a sudden, decisive answer.

When you enter your Rage, you can assume a towering aspect for its duration. If you are smaller than Large, you become Large, provided you have room to do so; otherwise, your size is unchanged. While raging, the first time on each of your turns that you hit a creature with a Strength-based attack, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage of the attack’s type and force the target to make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, you push it up to 10 feet away from you. You can choose not to push it.
While raging, you can use your reaction when a creature you can see within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack. You move up to half your Speed toward the attacker without provoking Opportunity Attacks. If you end this movement within your reach of the attacker, reduce the damage dealt to the target by 1d10 + your Barbarian level. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
While raging, you gain a Climb Speed equal to your Speed, and standing up from Prone costs you no movement. Also, nonmagical Difficult Terrain doesn’t cost you extra movement.
While raging, you can use an action to stamp the ground and unleash a concussive shockwave. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 15 feet of you must make a Strength saving throw against your Mountain’s Measure save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage, is pushed up to 15 feet away from you, and has the Prone condition. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage only. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend one use of your Rage to use it again.

You are a forward anchor and battlefield disruptor.
Rage, take a position near vulnerable allies, and use Mountain’s Measure to shove key foes out of place. Save your reaction from The Mountain Answers for a dangerous hit, and use your mobility to reach threatened companions. Worldbreaker’s Challenge is strongest when it can disrupt several grounded enemies at once.
Training begins with difficult, practical work: carrying supplies up dangerous trails, learning to brace against falling weight, and guiding others through bad weather.
An initiate’s final test is to protect a group through a hazardous passage without leaving anyone behind. The tradition teaches that size and strength are tools for making a path safe, not excuses to command others.
Ordinary people often see a Path of the Goliath as a reassuring protector until the first time they watch one hurl a foe across a room.
In mountain communities they are honored as guardians; in crowded cities they may be treated as dangerous, oversized trouble waiting to happen.
