Redesigned Archetypes: Barbarian (d20)
An avatar of fury¸ the barbarian achieves victory by carving a bloody path straight to it. While other fighters consciously refine their skills¸ the barbarian relies less on training and more on tapping into their intuition and anger to guide their hand. Descending into a reckless frenzy¸ yet at the same time learning to control this power - by mastering this duality¸ the barbarian turns their rage into a potent tool that elevates them above other¸ lesser warriors.
This version of the Barbarian focuses heavily on the Rage ability¸ making it a reliable and powerful resource by allowing it to be used every short rest. As an archetype for the Fighter class¸ it has a solid martial foundation; while the barbarian must abandon the use of heavy armor¸ Rage brings plenty of benefits to compensate. By overcoming fear and leaping into the fray¸ your fury will turn aside danger and carry you to glory!
