Barbarian Path: Amalgamation

The path of Amalgamation barbarian looks at the new technologies and sees opportunities, experimenting on themselves to acquire greater power through both natural and artificial means. These barbarians rely on their higher constitution to receive a higher number of implants, and receive operations to genetically splice themselves with specific animal qualities. While not as bestial as a Splicer, they make excellent use of the bestial qualities of rage and instinct. Combined with their frequent use of cybernetic enhancements, they make for a dangerous enemy and a frightening friend.
