He'll force everyone to move forward and force march, even if he's exhausted! He also throws a fit into his rage while yelling draconic expletives at the enemies, causing a great distraction for the party to get a surprise round in!My only complaint with the Barbarian is they're a little pigeon holed into melee. Like for example: The rage damage will not be applied to throwing a handaxe because it's not a melee attack. But it does make it more interesting because he has to figure out a way to get through the ranged attackers without losing too much HP before he actually gets to slice and dice. And of course, they're very weak to other types of damage which I use frequently in game. So there's extra math involved for the player as he's taking damage, for Example: A poison tipped arrow could deal 7piercing and 6 poison damage/hit (that only amounts to 9 damage total/hit). However I definitely like that part of the Barbarian, showing he's more of a brute with normal weapons but when any magic damage comes into play he's pretty screwed!</blockquote>
