[QUOTE="malcolm_n, post: 4127005, member: 63154"] How about Knockback? Any other naming convention maybe? I agree whole-heartedly. There is more to the barbarian than what I've shown so far, I just didn't want to overload anybody. Here're 2 good examples of him not being static. The first lets you setup a charge with rage, while the second actually moves you to a better fighting position. ____________________________________________ We have even less information beyond level 1 (except monsters) so I couldn't even begin to think of stuff like this. ____________________________________________ LOL, that thread inspired me to take the plunge and post my ideas here. I didn't want to crowd yours with near-offtopic conversation and didn't want the others on those boards to have to contend with 2+ threads on the primal source. :D As to the thread/powers, They're good, but they seem too much book keeping (a 4e no-no). Am I bear form this time? Cat? What are my bonuses again? We just started for the night, what was i when we left off? Stuff most long-time players can keep track of, but newer players/dm's have to work at. Primal kinda feels like it could either have it's own fresh new mechanic, or be a conglomeration power, where if something feels good to throw in, do it. That's the thing about instinct. It doesn't take the same form within everybody, why should it have exactly the same mechanic for the druid/barbarian/etc...? This falls again to simplicity. Why require players to learn multiple rules systems (a throwback to 3.5) just because they want to play different classes/multiclass? [/QUOTE]
