Just because you do not know the influence where the Barbarian subclass comes from doesn't mean it's not working off of a specific archetype.
If you have any idea where it comes from, I would love to hear it. Because so far no one has come up with anything. Which means it must be either:
a) Extremly obscure or;
b) completely fails to resemble the thing it is meant to resemble.
(as a point of comparison, the Invention wizard: it's archetype was clearly "mad scientist". No problem there. The problem was seeing where a mad scientist fit in D&D).
Maybe, but it's so obviously broken I can't understand how someone could get as far as committing it to paper without realising.And the mechanics of "infinite spell slots" are something to work out in fine-tuning, the flavor is the point for UA.
