Avatar of Disaster
Starting at 3rd level, when you rage you undergo a startling transformation.
Volcano. While raging, you transform into a creature of obsidian and fire. Your rage bonus damage is fire damage. Your rage bonus damage is double when using Reckless Attack. Once during your rage, you can double this damage bonus, or triple it when using Reckless Attack. That benefit lasts until the end of your next turn.
Vortex. While raging, you transform into a creature of lightning and wind. Your rage bonus damage is lightning damage. Your speed increases 10 feet. When you use Reckless Attack, creatures you hit have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of your next turn. Once during your rage as a bonus action, trap creatures next to you.
Earthquake. While raging, you transform into a creature of earth and stone. You gain a bonus AC equal to half your rage damage bonus. That bonus increases to your full rage damage bonus when you use Reckless Attack. Once during your rage, you can cause your melee weapon attacks to knock creatures prone (save DC and activation?). That benefit lasts until the end of your next turn.
Tsunami. While raging, you transform into a creature of coral and sea water. Movement: you can move through anyone’s space. When you reckless attack, you knock target away in a straight line. Once during your rage, cone effect similar to thunder wave.
