Barbarians' powers are called Evocations. Two barbarian builds have been detailed, the Rageblood Barbarian, which focuses on the Rageblood Vigor form of Feral Might, Strength and Constitution and leans towards the defender role, and the Thaneborn Barbarian, which focuses on Strength, Charisma and a different form of Feral Might, and leans towards the leader role.

The barbarian appears in the 4th edition as a player character class in Player's Handbook 2 (2009). The Iconic barbarian is Krusk, a male half-orc. As barbarians gain in power, their rage can be used more often and provides even larger Strength and Constitution bonuses, while taking less of a toll on their bodies. Rage also reduces armour class and interferes with any skill requiring patience or concentration. Rage provides bonuses to Strength, Constitution, and Will saving throws (which can make barbarians surprisingly resistant to harmful magic), and a glut of additional hit points which expire along with their rage. Once the rage is expended, the barbarian becomes fatigued for the remainder of the encounter. Half-Orcs have Barbarian as a favored class.īarbarians can tap their inner fury to fly into a berserker-like rage. : 84–85 Of all the classes, only the barbarian begins the game illiterate and is forced to expend extra skill points or multiclass in order to read and write. The barbarian is seen as the archetypal warrior who uses brute strength and raw fury to excel in combat, instead of the honed skills of the Fighter or measured strength of the Monk.
