Furthermore, this mean that outside of that one final confrontation day, you have a major class feature that's the center of your character only usable once per day. L1 Exhaustion means you're even more useless outside of combatL2 means you have trouble reaching melee range on enemies, which could be a ton of problem for the squishies And L3 makes you basically a sitting duck. And you need to spend a Bonus Action to enter your rage so you can't use that bonus action attack on your first turn of rage. And Intimidating Presence is a garbage ability that relies on your Charisma, something you have no other use for, wastes your action if you're trying to do anything else and only affects ONE creature. The question though is not 'is exhaustion that bad'... but rather: do you really gain anything worthwhile from this class compared to a Totem Barbarian? Heck, do you even gain enough DPS from Frenzy that using either Dual Wielder or Polearm Mastery wouldn't be just as good? Totem Barbarians get stuff that just HAPPEN automatically when they rage, no ressource to manage beyond that AND they get some fun fluffy rituals to play with. It's an infinitely more interesting subclass that isn't really that much more complicated.</blockquote>
