HULK

Highway robbers await in the cliffside of a

canyon pass. One of them spots a figure in the
distance. As he draws near, he seems to be some
sort of scholar, or perhaps a priest. It is no matter;
he is clearly not experienced in combat. And hes
travelling alone.
The band of thieves rush into the pass. Their
misfortunate victim tries to run, but he is quickly
cornered. As one bandit swings his mace, the man raises
his open hand and halts it with a force much more powerful
than would befit his frail frame.
His eyes flash with a green glare, and his skin begins to bubble.
The now wary bandits slowly shuffle backwards. The man shoots to
well over 8 feet tall and his flesh ripples as it adjusts to a new muscular
form. As the bandits turn tail, the monster hurls a nearby boulder and
bellows a thunderous roar.

Life of Solitude
Those few unlucky ones to be afflicted by a dark, twisted
transmutation magic tend to lead isolated lives. Their
unpredictable and dangerous alter ego makes them a pariah,
so they avoid cities whenever possible. Although they do tend
to frequent libraries, as their lonely lifestyle has led them to
confide in books. These tortured souls are often well learned
and even know some magic.

Hulk Mode
At 1st level, some bizarre dark magic possesses you. Now
you have the ability to use an action to transform into a
mighty humanoid beast. When this happens any armor
you are currently wearing is destroyed. Your size is now
medium if it was not before, and your weight doubles.
Unless you put on new armor, your armor class is now

Primal Path
Not every hulk is a mindless raging beast, although that
does seem to be the trend. Some of them are just
misunderstood. Some seek to commune with nature. They
are green after all. Each hulks unique self is reflected in
their primal path. Any Barbarian primal path can be used,
but advantages of these paths are only gained while in
Hulk Mode.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice
by 1. As normal, you cant increase an ability score above
20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, whenever you are in Hulk Mode,
you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take
the Attack action on your turn.
Fast Movement
Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while
you arent wearing heavy armor. You dont have to be in
Hulk Mode to use this feature.
Feral Instinct
By 7th level, you have become twitchy with fear. You have
reflexes like lightning. As such, you now get advantage on
initiative rolls.
Additionally, if you arent incapacitated, you dont get
disadvantage in the event a surprise attack. And you can
use your reaction to start changing into hulk form, so you
can attack on your next turn. However, any damage dealt
until then is still applied to your normal form.
Brutal Critical
Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon
damage die when determining the extra damage for a
critical hit with a melee attack while in Hulk Mode.
This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and
three additional dice at 17th level.
Ressurection
At 11th level, the hulk can take over when youre on the
brink of death. If you drop to 0 hit points while in normal
form, and dont die outright, you automatically go into
Hulk Mode, even against your will.
When you change back, you drop to 1 hit point.
Large Size
At 15th level, the Hulks might is manifesting itself in
physical size. Your hulk form is now a large creature, and
your hulk weight is triple that of your normal form. The
Dungeon Masters Guide contains more information on
creature sizes.
Indomitable Might
Beginning at 18th level, and while in Hulk Mode, if your
total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score,
you can use that score in place of the total.
Primal Champion
At 20th level, begin to embrace your dark side, rather than
fight it. While in Hulk Mode, your Strength and
Constitution scores increase by 4, to a new cap of 24.
