"I think the barbarian has no place in the 21st century, or 4e for that matter." <BR/><BR/>I guess I did.<BR/><BR/>But that's honestly just a poor choice of words (or sentence structure) on my part.<BR/><BR/>The real gist, the message I'm trying to get across, is that there's no need for a separate Barbarian class in 4E. Roll those powers into the fighter and make it a "build" under that class.<BR/><BR/>Of course, that was before I realized that 4E needs all the classes it can get. We need the Barbarian. We need to add the Berserker, the Raider, the Conan and the Red Sonja. We need all the classes we can get so that we can hopefully find a "build" that fits our character concepts.Griffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854226755305203275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-8601906323158276812009-03-29T11:28:00.000-06:002009-03-29T11:28:00.000-06:00The original poster of this blog needs to read som...The original poster of this blog needs to read some Robert E. Howard stories. It's kind of ironic that someone says the Barbarian class does not belong, when Sword-and-Sorcery fantasy started with a barbarian.GREW50MEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-23869734548442584782008-12-16T05:33:00.000-07:002008-12-16T05:33:00.000-07:00I think the rule behind 3rd ed classes is 'the mor...I think the rule behind 3rd ed classes is 'the more popular fic, the more deserving'. <BR/><BR/>In the same way that the ranger is there to let people play Aragorn from LotR, the barbarian is there to let people play Conan.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050401750586325232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-10412456190760792232008-11-10T15:12:00.000-07:002008-11-10T15:12:00.000-07:00I like the Barbarian class.

I easily see differences between Barbarians and other warrior classes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310197197163118598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542288088513943439.post-63019238469601916352008-08-16T07:03:00.000-06:002008-08-16T07:03:00.000-06:00I couldn't disagree more.

The Warlord now takes the place of leader of the battle hardened classes. The Ranger holds the line between the edges of civilization and the great beyond. The Barbarian is that threat from the great beyond. The indigenous societies threat to civilized soft underbelly. <BR/>There is no problem with returning to the drawing board and brining this class back to its roots. Re-examine the epic savage fighters of legend and history. But let us have the change to throw off societies chains and rage a swarth of destruction along our path that warriors fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
