Bulwark

Not all warriors can survive on strength of arm alone. Whether they be from the frozen north, the searing sands, or even just the unforgiving back alleys of the teeming cities, some barbarians have realized that the world is an unkind place. Rather than give up hope, however, these potent battlers have merely vowed to be tougher. Possessed by an unrelenting will to survive, they weather the oncoming storm.

Numbers could probably use some adjusting, but I liked to idea of a very defensive style of barbarian compared to the current perks.

Mage Hunter

Be you an uthgardt warrior or a foreign warrior who despises mages, you have absolutely detested the scrawny, arrogant little twigs that wiggle their fingers and make things happen. These wizards have no right to lead or exist- especially with the coming of the Darkening, and you intend to show them their place- beneath your hide-boots.

Level 2: 10% elemental immunity
Level 3: 12 Spell resistence OR 10% chance to dodge spells (like spell thief)

Demonbound

There will always be those who are glad to embrace the greed and fury of unholy patrons; the heedless reach for power is not unique to arcanists. Fiendish cults need their enforcers. The tribes of Nar wander a landscape littered with legacies of corruption. Anyone with the ambition can sacrifice a child to the Abyss. For all the horror that awaits such souls, the rewards are great indeed if they survive long enough to claim them.

Evil only.

Level 1: 5% Damage Immunity, +5 Spellcraft, +2 Intimidate
Level 5: 10% Damage Immunity, Dark Blessing
Level 8: 15% Damage Immunity, Lesser Planar Binding (9) 1/day

Duration: 7 rounds + CON mod before raging.

Charisma bonus to Strength and Damage Reduction while raging:
Level 1 rage is capped at +4/+2
Level 4 rage is capped at +6/+6
Level 8 rage is capped at +8/+10

Undocumented shift to demons summoning theme, for use by Lesser Planar Binding.

Intention is for DR to be significantly less than that of Ghostly Visage until level 4, to prevent the trivialization of introductory content.

Brutal Thug
Among the alleys across Faerun, scattered among the low of the low, are the brutal thugs and enforcers. The favored champions of the dockside gangs, they come into battle to bring unrelenting pain to their opponents. They have no honor, no rules that guide their battling. Only a desire for coin, and to laugh over their opponents corpse.

[Pentaxius]

Drug-addled Warrior  

You were the junky, a lowly drug-addled thug, or simply a gladiator in search of an edge against your foe. Proof that it worked, you are seemingly still alive in this world - but, are you sure? Years of abuse of narcotic substances have taken its toil on your sanity and your body. But who cares? right, as long as your find your fix before the bloodletting of tomorrow. Heck, your blood is so dense with that shit you've been taking that all sort of weird stuff occurs when you start to bleed.

Desperate Rager

Some  fear to approach their own mortality. The Desperate Rager, however,  relishes such a moment. He is a battle-born warrior  who thrives in the narrow breadth between life and death, his might  surging along with his lifeblood. The fear of death is made manifest in a  different way than most with this warrior, driving him to  unimaginable feats of strength and prowess that inspire courage in his  allies and evoke dread in his foes.

Rage has different effects depending on health level when triggered.
Duration: 7 rounds + cha modifier
Rage - Uninjured: +1str/+1con
Rage - Barely Injured: +2str/+2con
Rage - Injured: +3str/+3con
Rage - Badly Wounded: +4str/+4con, +10% movespeed, +2 vampiric regen
Rage - Near Death: +6str/+6con/+2cha, +20% movespeed, +3 vampiric regen, red aura

Charisma modifiers to str/con/vamp regen while raging.
Level 1 rage is capped at +1/+1/+1
Level 4 rage is capped at +2/+2/+2
Level 8 rage is capped at +3/+3/+3

Not sure about the balance but the bonuses are supposed to reflect the inherent risk in being at that particular health level.

Menace

You're kind of an asshole.  The kind of asshole who enjoys making life as hard for the others around you as absolutely possible.   You aren't necessarily oblivious to what an enormous jerk you are, in fact you sort of enjoy it.

Goblin Suicide Bomber

Trained and groomed for the day you will die, you are given a hammer, and a vest filled with explosives. Your sole purpose in life is to throw yourself upon the enemy, and explode.

The GOBLIN must regularly emote wearing explosives.

GOBLIN ONLY

Level 5: Damage Vulnerability = 30% The damage is upped to 5d10, and the time reduced to 2 minutes.
Level 8: Damage Vulnerability = 50% You are considered a first class martyr. Your fellow goblins salute you. One Minute Timer, 10d10 explosive blast.

Death stops the timer. Rage can only be activated once combat commences. Smoke emits from the goblin as a visual warning. Attacking the goblin causes a 5% chance of it being detonated early.

Black blooded (half-orc only)
Born into strife, the life of a half-orc has been not an easy one. You lack the patience and charisma of any other race, but it combat there are few so equal. The passion and rage of the orc flows through your veins, an unyielding chaos which knows no bounds.

The numbers may need changing but the perk is designed to make half-orcs not the most terrible barbarians around.

KULDJARGH (Dwarven Only)

The crazed style of combat that dwarven berserkers engage in results in  dwarves who are immensely strong and durable and, unfortunately,  mentally unstable. Dwarven berserkers usually focus only on what they  need to fight and survive, and their personal hygiene tends to suffer as  a result.

Level 1: 5% Damage Immunity, Bonus Feat: Exotic Wep  Bonus Feat: Wep focus Dwarven Waraxe
Level 5: Bonus Feat:Amb Dex  Bonus Feat: 2 wep fighting
Level 8: 10% Damage Immunity  Bonus Feat:Wep Spec Dwarven Waraxe


Charisma modifiers to STR/CON while rageing
Level 1 rage capped at 6/3
Level 5 rage capped at 8/6
Level 8 rage capped at 10/8

*spell confusion kicks in 1 round into rage, for 1 round, alternating thru rage.  Confusion or other appropriate spell to simulate pure bloodlust when raging..detrimental to anyone within reach!

[Stranger]

Mage Hunter

I think Mage Hunter is a really cool concept, though perhaps some implementation of Lesser Dispel at level 8 would be acceptable? Either on-hit or as a token, and in addition to the ten percent chance of spell dodge.

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Dumpster Diver

You relish in the cornucopia of filth that is waste.  Either to survive the harsh climate of the Underdark or because you are made ravenous by the aroma of ripe trash.   You dig, claw, and tunnel your way through the mounds of stench with a smile on your face.  

Level 1: 5% DI, flies swarm about you, spell immunity: grease, one use of grease per day
Level 5: 10% DI, spell immunity: stinking cloud, spell immunity: cloud of bewilderment

.

Magic Eater

You are creature that lives, thrives, and consumes magic, fueling your mortal existence. With the rebirth of Mystyl, and the rise of the Dread, the loose nature of the weave and the delicious tendrils of magic that waft through the air gives rise to the everburning hunger to devour what sustains the very world.

Level 1: 5% dmg immunity, Devourer of Magic- You are given a playertool that lets you strip 1 random buff from the target in return for a random benefit.
