It's like the RPG equivalent of "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

I can't tackle armor as DR or AC without tackling the problem of hitpoints in general. Ant I don't care to. For the purposes of running a streamlined(ish) game i'm fine with the current level of abstraction.

What I allow as background info vs. what I'm willing to facilitate as an active role playing scenario are wildly different.

I could see all of those being problems. But just because something is a problem doesn't mean it needs to be addressed. Sometimes addressing a small problem may result in the creation of a greater problem and you're worse off than before. Sometimes fixing a problem isn't worth the potential...

Magic is cheating. It's untrustworthy. Iron or Steel is what you need.

Diabetics Unite! I've been off insulin for a couple of years now (thanks to diet and regular exercise), but I was on it for about a year. Fear of going back is a big motivator.

My workouts consist of Strongman training and LISS. A moderate dex covers my needs pretty well. And i'm increasing that little by little just like Strength. But Con 18, would wipe out a good deal of things that I have a tougher time getting rid of. Things I have a genetic predilection towards...

Dex would be my number 2 choice. When I thought about it though I just don't have much use for the increase in Stealth, acrobatics, sleight of hand and the like in my day to day. This would however be remarkable different if I enjoyed tumbling or gymnastics.

Indeed. Especially since Chick tracts cruelly target far more than D&D. They also cruelly target many sincerely held religious beliefs and not just for one religion. I even remember when an acquaintance that was gifted, from a Catholic, a tract meant to discourage (which is a light way of...

Nice. An Unarmed focused Path is a great niche to explore. That reminds me there's a Path of the Juggernaut in Critical Roles campaign setting too. Here's an overview

Bah I am still unable to Rage and become resistant to fire damage in real life. If Satan is powering my Bear Totem he's doing a piss poor job of it.

I think we can successfully separate sincerely held religious beliefs from the specifically referenced Dark Dungeons's ideas that playing D&D is pursuit of real world sorcery.

That's much better than what I was thinking. Good call. If using UA the Brawny Feat would be perfect here too. Athletics Expertise and Carrying capacity doubled for a third time are awesome. The big problem is that Hercules never really needed to go in an Altered state (like Rage) to be...

Fair enough. I may have concentrated to much on the "Juggernaut" aspect as I found the total list of requirements to be all over the place. I'll try again. Although I will say I'm currently playing a Zealot with 14 Wisdom, Perception, Survival and Insight proficiencies. With no Ranger in the...

At 14+ it's difficult to beat a Zealot for "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" as they are practically immune to death by HP reduction while Raging. So you can Recklessly Attack all day which makes it easy to use -5/+10 from GWM to do major damage. PAM can also help with Reaction and Bonus...

Barbarians have resistance to magical damage too.

I regularly lift heavy weights in an effort to increase my real life Strength. And I still would pick Constitution 100% of the time. At most Strength training takes a couple of hours out of my day 4 days a week. But bettering my health is a constant never ending battle.

NIce! Though I would miss the SCAG backgrounds. I use those for more often than the rest of that book.

What I liked most about Giant Soul Sorcerer abilities keying off of Constitution. If you want to be a good Giant guy you had to be tough. I hope to see that come around again

On the whole I think it's a fault of the design of the Berserker rather than what you propose. Anyway I'd try a game with your changes
