Also the barbarian is much more likely to surrvie the first round and get in two attacks before taking any appreciable damage (d12 hit dice as a base plus a usually higher Con score than most other characters).Remember that a barbarian still gets his fast movement when wearing medium armors - so while wearing a breastplate (+5 to AC) a human can still move 30 ft while others can only move 20 ft in the same armor.</blockquote>
