In other words, the Bear Totem abilities have been basically wasted, maybe with the exception of less resource consumption in terms of healing hitdice required.However the extra damage output he can use when frenzy is amazing, and to be honest 1 level of exhaustion really isn't a big deal. Also my Cleric now has greater restoration.Also not being charmed of frightened when fighting Dragons is pretty damn amazing... Pretty sure that is a berserker ability and not standard Barbarian.Not that I think the Bear Totem Barbarian (or other ones are bad). They're probably slightly better. The difference really is so marginal that only pure powergamers would care, and 5th edition isn't really that kind of game to be honest.Heck we have a Wild Sorcerer which IMO is inferior to the other Sorcs, but still a heck of a lot of fun. We all groan and duck every time he casts a spell.</blockquote>
