Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 8103537" data-attributes="member: 1125">Interestingly enough Original D&D had a Beserker as a subclass of Fighting-Man intended for NPCs, all subsequent Beserkers appeared in the Monster ManualThe original PC Barbarian was introduced by Gary Gygax in Dragon Magazine as a subclass of Fighter. It was a Fighter who could climb and hide like a thief, had wilderness survival and animal handling like a ranger and who could detect illusions and magic (which they hated) - this was the Conan-esque Barbarian and notably it had  NO RAGE.In the 2e Fighters Handbook Barbarian and Berserker were both featured separately (as was Amazon, Beastrider, Savage and Wilderness Warrior all of which were also called out as being from Barbarian tribes.) again only Beserker could go Beserkit was indeed 3e where RAGE became the core mechanic of a class called Barbarian instead of Berserkerso yeah I want to go back to NO RAGE Barbarians that get strength and dex and anti-magic powersand call the Berserker what it is</blockquote>
