triggered by use of ranger to mean someone that attacks at range gets on soapbox ahem Looking at the history of the word and archetype from Tolkien to the Texas Rangers of the american west... On second thought, I think I'll take my blood pressure medication and avoid this one.

Mine almost never do since I'm typically looking to Haste or otherwise buff myself and Booming Blade, then hit again as a bonus action, and cast Shield liberally.

Comics Thor? No. In the recent Unworthy Thor run he had lost access to his hammer and therefore had no lightning, thunder, or flight. He was still as strong and tough as always MCU (Marvel Movie) Thor is another case entirely

The neat thing about EK is, you can freely dump Intelligence if you don't pick any spells with attack rolls, or forcing saving throws. But I suppose that's all of the ones that do lightning or thunder damage besides booming blade and elemental weapon. Yeah you're probably right

Sure I can. It might not be reasonable to do so, but I may or not be a reasonable person, But honestly I do feel like a Barbarian that focuses on grapples and punches is far more of a well known archetype than one that summons ghosts, storms, or godly power when raging.

Nuts. The trilogy's author Joe Abercrombie gets his name bandied about in grimdark discussions quite a bit. So much so that a while back some fantasy authors noticed a correlation between writing grimdark (or at least being accused of writing grimdark) and their location to Joe Abercrombie's...

I've always thought an Eldritch Knight with the right spell selection makes a pretty excellent Thor

I'm honestly pretty excited to roll up a punchy Ranger/Berserker.

I could see getting the THP, 5ft move speed, and one skill at level one, then remove exhaustion and climb or swim at 6, then the other climb/swim and one more skill at 10

I think you're right. It's easier to imagine myself using them for benefit. Getting to also choose which one I gain at a time is a plus too.

I really like how the ranger is now a tougher, more mobile, more skilled generalist.

https://www.amazon.com/Brobarians-Lindsay-Ward/dp/1503941671 My two year old demands I that I read the brobarians book to him every night.

Very much this. I can play a fighter without a subclass pretty easily. Wizard too. But a Ranger without a subclass? ForgetAboutIt.

Alright I've thought about it and an alternative to Brutal Critical is probably where I would have the base Barbarian get something neat. Something active instead of passive. Edit: Perhaps in place of each Brutal critical, some new thing that enhances a rage. So you would end up with 3 Rage...

Dragon wings are too small to fly, Giants are too big to not have their bones crushed under their own weight, Barbarians can fall from the stratosphere and walk away from it, lifting capacity increases linearly without regard to the square-cube law, etc, etc, etc. Gravity just doesn't work in...

What about a game not using optional rules like Feats and multiclassing? Edit: and Weapon Master does not grant Fighting Styles. No feat (so far) does.

The first 2 levels are dialed in. They fulfill the concept ot the angry death machine quite well. At level 3 when I choose between ghost anger, storm anger, animal anger (of varying usefulness, I'm looking at you Tiger Totem), god anger, spiky armor anger, and anger anger things are pretty off...

My friends kids watch other people play minecraft. the don't even play it. the watch other people play it. I don't get it. I like CR but it's soooo long. Harmonquest I can watch. It's short and pretty funny, the rotating celebrity guest makes each episode feel unique.

Is the Paladin not a popular powerful class that needs no fix? It got cool new fighting styles, spells, and a buff to Channel Divinity. Which all seem more useful, powerful, and fun to me than the Barbarian options. Edit: and in the case of the Barbarian I would have been happy with useful...

Reads UA Barbarian: Am I a joke to you? So I love most of these options but find the ones for Barbarian to be lackluster by comparison, and find that the best Berserker fix is on the Ranger in Tireless. Anyway now that I am done complaining I will go roll a Ranger/Berserker with Hunter's...
