[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6498747, member: 57914"] Finally after all these years the Halfling barbarian is a valid character concept! Ever since reading the Hobbit as a small child while Conan The Barbarian played in the background, the idea of playing a three foot tall hairy smackdown machine filled my imagination. I made do with Halfling fighters, dwarf barbarians and other such inferior knock offs. Oh sure in Pathfinder I was finally able to realize my goal and Hobbsallug The Hairbrute was born swinging his small sized Greataxe but the penalties for existing were almost too heavy to bare. Now however,with D&D 5E Finally Hobbsallug The Hairbrute broke free of his chains and rampaged across the realm laying the smackdown with glee. Not since the days of Captain Caveman has such a monstrosity been unleashed! So far only the goblin warbands, Hobgoldin Warlords and the Trolls of the deadmire have learned to flinch at both his name and his mighty warcry of "I pity da fools dat mess wit me!" Well to be fair others have learned to flinch as well, such as folks that hire him to do anything other than SMASH! Fellow adventurers that lack his unshakable confidence (ok,there are too many of them, lets backtrack and....oh #$%# who is that yelling?" and cooks that leave pies on windowsills to cool. Not only has this edition created the Barbarian as he was meant to be but unchained the Halfling from his sad little Frodo want to be roll. Long live 5E! Long live Hobbsallug! [/QUOTE]
