DESIGNER’S NOTE: This Barbarian is the token “heavy hitter” character. If you want to make a “barbarian” or “tribal” style character who uses a bow and arrow or with high dexterity and light weapons, the Ranger may be a better choice. Rangers, Fighters and Rogues could all easily be “barbarians.” Even a Druid or Priest could be a barbarian shaman, oracle, or mystic. This version of the Barbarian excels with big weapons and dishing out damage. It is geared towards a “Conan” or “Hercules” style barbarian. If you just want to be called “a barbarian,” then pick a class that suits your character and role-play them as a member of a barbarian tribe!
