Between the Genasi resists/racial abilities and the Stone Bear resists he was able to have 22 resist all for multiple turns in a row. Added with the Healing from Both classes, barbarian and cleric and the temporary hp the Barbarian class is so fond of- he was able to (at level 11) take out 6 lv 14 elites and kill the lv 16 wizard NPC the DM had planned for him to save.All in all he resisted over 400 dmg in the one encounter and healed over 150 dmg with who knows how many temporary hit points thrown into the pot.If anyone would like a copy of the build so they can play test it let me know, but it feels ungodly overpowered. Let me propose a scenario to you. You have a random character capable of dealing 40... dmg per hit and having 100 hp. They start an encounter, the barbarian charged in first attacking with stone bear rage and goes into his rage. You take 3[w]+str lets say the weapon was a falchion (2d4) and does about 20 dmg + 8 elemental from his genasi form. You attack back and do 40 - 12: 28... So far you have both broken even. He attacks back with recouperating strike, 1[w] + d6 + str and deals 15 dmg + 8 elemental while giving himself 13 temporary hp. You attack 40 - 12 - 13: 15 dmg, you are slowly falling behind. Repeat the sequence X2 - you are so far 24 hp behind and the barbarian has only been using at will powers after the rage. Put all the healing this barbarian has built into his class and you are going to loose, unless you have a build that can regularly deal about 50 dmg per hit at level 11...</blockquote>
