D&D 5E Barbarian preview!

Relax, Agamon. I simply didn't like the picture and then was joking around a bit. Of course, the barbarian class should be able to accommodate all sorts of variations (even the effete ones...ha ha).

Its all in good fun.

p.s. How dare you criticize the great Frank Frazetta! And what barbarian knows word "sexism"?

The words that barbarians don't know could fill a dictionary.

Pretty sure Red Sonja and Valeria know the behaviour, if not the word for it, and aren't exactly keen on it. Like chop your face off not keen.

I like how they try to explain "barbarian =|= primative savage." Just someone who eschews the softness of civilization and restraint.

They really should rename the class berserker to free themselves from the negative connotations of "barbarian", but I think the class is too iconic to change.

I *love* that the PHB Barbarian looks much more like Jeremiah Johnson than he does Conan, Thrud, or Gringr.

Just because you are an antisocial murder machine doesn't mean you are more comfortable in a posing pouch than a nice pair of breeches and a leather coat.

I like that this PHB is giving us a wider view of what things can be. I love everything I have seen from it so far.

'Cause it is always a good idea to refer to a guy with an axeblade bigger than your head "effete"....

Work filters wont let me view the site or pictures......help?

Relaxed is my middle name. I, too, like to joke (not sure if that's noticeable). No worries.

I did say he doesn't look 'barbaric,' but I also disagree that he even looks like a barbarian. Something about the clothing.

Not every barbarian needs to look like David & Peter Paul to be considered one, although I will be disappointed if Raised by the Dirtmaster isn't available as a background.
