[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 7403386, member: 98008"] I have used a few interesting barbarians in the past: - A Hawaian/Fijian themed guy. He was pretty much Maui from the Moana, but years before the movie came out. He did not shapeshift, but had moving tattoos and a similar personality. His "rage" was taking on the totemic powers of his tattoos, Bear totem was flavoured as Turtle, the more offensive based ones were Shark. - A Kensai whose rage was a zen battle trance. He had amazing stats, so was also wise, well-spoken and intelligent. - A thane-born barbarian who just wanted to be Skald, but he had to go collect stories of his own in order to be initiated into being a Skald as it was a very high profile position. He was obsessed with stories, beer and valiant deaths. He did eventually multiclass into bard a bit, but mostly because he was OP in a group of very under-optimised characters. He rather memorably did not stabalise or heal up a party member who had done an epic deed and killed a giant single handedly, there was no way he was going to rob him of his heroic death. Fortunately the hero made a 20 on his death save and sprung back up, earning near worship from my character. [/QUOTE]
