[QUOTE="Dalzig, post: 4869143, member: 71406"] One thing you have to learn about 4e is that it is very easy to separate fluff from mechanics. When you are a Barbarian, you don't necessarily have to be an "Uncivilized brute who wears a loin cloth and can't read." So, apart from the fluff, what kind of mechanics are you most looking for? Do you want to play up the charging and high damage (Barbarian), or be a linchpin of defense on the party's front line (Fighter)? Once you decide the mechanics you think help define the character, then you can layer your character's specifics on top. Describe your "barbarian" as being the great knight that he is. Describe your "leather/hide" armor as gleaming metallic plates. Describe your "walking forward and calmly attacking" as charging forward with fury on your face! Whatever you do, don't be afraid to describe your character however you want. [/QUOTE]
