[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 5904267, member: 8858"] [B]The barbarian can be from any culture[/B] Barbarism is a state of mind, a disconnect from the cultural mores that surround a character, be that through unfamiliarity, disregard or contempt. Any culture can produce barbarians, and they are not welcome at the dinner table in any of them. This is not to say that a barbarian must be gruff, unlikeable or socially inept, simply that their frenetic pace and lusty embrace of life is often at odds with the rest of the world. [B]The barbarian is offensive[/B] The best defense is a good offense. The barbarian embraces this ideal, risking injury to visit worse upon their foes. Often the first into battle, the barbarian eschews defensive abilities and tactics for a focus on bring their opponents down. [B]The barbarian is impulsive[/B] The barbarian kicks the door in, and lives to tell about it. [B]The barbarian is unstoppable[/B] Barbarians suppress fear and their own minds while fighting. Once their blood is up, it is difficult to change their path. Attempts to influence them, naturally or through magic are often ineffective, as the barbarian reacts on pure instinct. Hold person, fear, suggestion, these things are easy for the barbarian to shrug off as he or she simply doesn't notice. If you wish to stop a barbarian who is trying to kill you, you must fight him on his terms, and drive him into the dirt before he will submit. [/QUOTE]
