The Scale

Barbarian Subclass

The Scale is one of twelve closely-guarded fighting styles, known as the Zodiac Of Pain. The Scale is about augmenting the user's body for absolute endurance and destruction. Originally, the Zodiac Of Pain referred to twelve adventurers who used dark magic to slaughter the forces of darkness. They each founded their own school of combat, and they each chose twelve others to lead their school. The hierarchy of a Zodiac Of Pain school is organized in twelve ranks, each containing twelve students who are sub-ranked within that rank. When a student feels ready, they can challenge the one from the rank above that corresponds to their sub-rank to a duel. If the challenger wins, they swap places. If they lose, they decrease in the standings of their rank. When a student is in the twelfth rank, he can challenge a master. If he wins, he becomes a master too and the school searches for a new recruit.
