Overview

Barbarians possess incredible strength and offensive power. They are not as well armored as fighters, but they can absorb damage and go into a battle rage to overwhelm their enemies.

Barbarians are the beasts of the battlefield. Often using huge two-handed weapons or two weapons at once, they can deal immense amounts of melee damage.

By tapping into the raw fury of nature, barbarians can enter a battle rage that boosts their fighting ability to extreme levels, but they need to recover afterwards.

Barbarians also have the ability to shrug off or absorb some incoming physical attacks without taking damage. This is called damage reduction (DR) and can help make up for their lack of heavy armor.

Class Feats[edit]

Level 1[edit]

  • Dismiss Rage: Activate this barbarian ability to prematurely end your rage.
  • Fast Movement: Allows barbarians to move 10% faster than other characters. This bonus applies even when wearing heavy armor.
  • Rage (1/Day): Activate this barbarian ability to enter a bloodthirsty frenzy, granting you a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +2 Morale bonus to Will saves, and a -2 penalty to AC. When the rage ends, however, you will lose the hit points granted to you by increased Constitution and become fatigued. The duration of Rage is 18 + (Constitution modifier x 6) seconds. The rage-enhanced Constitution score is used for this calculation.
  • Wilderness Lore: This feat grants represents your knowledge of the wilderness. One for every level of barbarian.
