D&D 5E Barbarian troubles

[n00b f00]

That sucks about your group man. I might've done the same after they forced me to roll, and then complained about 3 characters in a row. Bladesingers don't seem OP on paper. They don't seem better than a wizard who takes a two level fighter dip for medium armor, shields, and action surge. They just seem different.

Good luck with whatever way it lands.

Actually level 8 the game involves exploring lots of small islands in an archipelago. Being able to turn into a fish and a bird in a seafaring exploration game just eclipses the usefulness of other classes surprisingly often, even if you are otherwise useless.

On a side note, my next character was a Bladesinger with rolled stats that damn near perfectly matched the standard array. I had not even rolled a dice before people complained that they are OP and should not be allowed ("They can tank better than my Fighter and are a full caster!!!"). I just asked the group to make a character for me next time and left. Not sure I will be back.

that sucks... Maybe that is just the wrong group for you...
