If you like this mod, check out my previous work: Thug - Rogue Subclass, Brawler - Fighter Subclass and Warlord - Barbarian Subclass
Although I liked the concept of my previous unarmed mod Brawler - Fighter Subclass, I wasn't totally satisfied with the end result. I decided to give it another go (this time as a Barbarian Subclass) and am much happier with the mod. This is a personal mod I made for my playthroughs so let me know what you think. I've also borrowed the ideas I liked from my Brawler mod so there is a tiny bit of overlap but IMO this is a stronger version of the unarmed fighter.
The following change affects all Barbarian Subclasses:
You are now able to use your Reckless Attack Reaction with unarmed attacks (the Reckless Attack Action in your hotbar still only works with weapons, can be removed from hotbar if playing unarmed).
The features of the Subclass are as follows:
Level 3
Hammer Charge (Ability):
This is a once-per-turn rushing attack that deals 1d8 + Strength Modifier to anyone in the way. It Prones anyone it hits and requires them to make a Saving Throw against being disarmed. It also does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity (making it a good escape tool if cornered). This is only available while Raging.
BA Improvised Weapon Attack (Ability):
This borrows the "Frenzy" variant of Improvised Weapon as a Bonus Action from the Berserker Subclass. This is only available while Raging.
Pugilist (Passive):
Your unarmed damage is 1d8 from Level 3 - 8, and 1d10 from Levels 9 - 12. Your unarmed attacks are also now considered as magical for the purpose of overcoming enemies' resistance and immunity to non-magical damage.
Relentless Strike (Passive):
When you make an unarmed attack, until the end of your turn, you can make an additional unarmed strike with your Bonus Action.
Unarmoured Movement (Passive):
Your movement speed increases by 3 m/10 ft while you are not wearing armour or using a shield.
Level 6
Retaliation (Passive):
While Raging, you can use your Reaction to counter with an unarmed attack and knock Prone any enemy that hits you with a melee attack.
Fists of Steel (Passive):
Your unarmed and improvised weapon attacks now deal an additional 1d4 + Constitution Modifier (this is in-line with Manifestation of Body/Mind/Soul from Open Hand Monk).
Improved Unarmoured Movement (Passive):
Your movement speed increases by 4.5 m/15 ft while you are not wearing armour or using a shield.
Level 10
Vicious Leap (Ability):
Once per turn, while Raging, you can leap at a group of enemies and deal your unarmed damage to all foes surrounding you. This attack also Prones any it hits.
Improved Unarmoured Movement 2 (Passive):
Your movement speed increases by 6 m/20 ft while you are not wearing armour or using a shield.
