[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8211188, member: 63508"] It plays like the 1e barbarian minus the magic hate. You are like a fighter/rogue but without the martial skill and skullduggery. You Run. You Jump. You Smash. You Sneak. You Tumble You Bash. You are the "everyman" You aren't Sir Thomas or Chief Oleg who was trained to fight from age 10. Nor are you Dark Lance the Skulker who honed deadly skills on the mean streets. Nor are you Og the Vast, the raging brute who flies into a frenzy on the call for blood. You are Jim. You feel a calling to adventurer but lack the training and expertise for it. However your oddly massive muscles and thick skin shouldn't be wasted. You may or may not find out that the cow on your farm was gifted by a fey king or that your mother is a goddess who wanted to play house and enchanted you. Or maybe your family is just big folk who marry other big folk. However the villagers have stated that you run a little too fast and that humans can't carry a 3 goats out a burning barn. Because D&D lacks characters of raw physical prowess. Everyone is either using learned skill, getting really mad or casting spells on themselves. You can't really be a man who just wrestles the orc into submission. The fighter has shifted from the everyman. [/QUOTE]
