What does a barbarian need?

[TPKStudio]

Hi everyone,

Earlier this year we released a free app that helps barbarians in need to calculate their attack and damage bonuses. This all started due to the barbarian in our party struggling with number crunching when a few bonuses were thrown into the mix.

However now that he's no longer stressing over adding numbers to add to the dice, he's looking for useful items to purchase/acquire. He has his trusty great axe, light armour, healing potions and bow, but wants to get creative. Looking for unique support items roughly levels 0-10.
What are some of the more creative items barbarians in your party have carried on them that you could recommend? Fellow barbarians, he needs your help!

We're hoping to add any feedback into our app so current and future barbarians including himself can be inspired by these items

For anyone wandering about the app:

An Immovable Rod and somewhere to shove it!

Seriously though, I like the non-weapon utility items such as above. Others:

• Slippers of Spider Climb
• Gloves of Missile Snaring
• Hat of Disguise (for no other reason than it's fun to see a barb squirm at deception)
• Boots of Springing and Striding
• Cape of the Mounteback

Getting to enemies is important.

What does a barbarian need?

To crush their enemies, to see them driven before them, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

He needs to learn the answer to the riddle of steel.

I'm guessing the answer isn't 'hugs'?

A loin cloth and a bigger weapon?

Boots of Springing and Striding are good. Cloak of Arachnida. Healing, anything that he can use to heal. Heroism, potions or other effect items.

Cloak of My Own Will. Because too many times our Barbarian falls for a Suggestion " Make him stop hurting me!"

The only thing a barbarian needs
is a greataxe and a trunk
and the only time he's satisfied
is when he's got heads to crump
