One more thing - a barbarian should be able to flip out and kill everyone.

There, all done

The new Barbarian is great, but it just isn't a Barbarian, like what we were used to in 1E Unearthed Arcana, the 2E Complete Fighter's Handbook, and Red Sonja. A few easy tweaks and everyone will be happy.

1. Go back to the +2 hit points per point of Con over 10 and +2 to AC per point of Dex over 10.

2. Give them all Ranger abilities and all Rogue abilities of their respective level when in natural terrain.

3. At 8th Level, whether they're 10 miles deep into the Underdark, or in a tiny lifeboat lost at sea, they can summon 8,000 like minded Barbarians that just show up, somehow.

4. All Barbarians must be named Conan, Thundarr, or Marc Singer or suffer a 20% XP penalty.

Ah, finally, a class everyone can agree on. Are you listening WOTC...?

Heh...well, if you are going to be true to the 1st edition Barbarian from UA...make sure you throw in a 50% xp penalty. Cause they pretty much needed twice as much xp as everyone else to make 20th level....if not more for some classes.

Funny though you know...with a 50% xp penalty, this class becomes pretty playable, even though you were just joking. Maybe that 1st edition barbarian wasn't quite as unbalanced as people think...just a thought.

What are you trying to do, create some kind of Barbarianinja?

It's Barbara Ninja! Say hi to Barbara, everyone!

Female characters would have the "Barbarellaninja" class variant.
