[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 8486363, member: 67296"] I'm partial to fighter/barbarian multiclass, because that was my 2nd (and preferred) 5e character. Ask your DM if you can re-fluff rage as a taxing battle stance instead of a frothing-at-the-mouth rage if you want. You need a STR-based fighter to get the most out of it, but it's best with also a decent Dex (ideally 14) to offset the loss of heavy armour. Rage bonus to damage and increase in accuracy thanks to reckless attack partially make-up for the loss of the 3rd attack at fighter 11. In some situations it's actually better. It pairs well with 2-handed sword, GWF style, and Great Weapon Master. This also means you'll get hit more, but rage effectively doubles your hp, and doubles the return on in-combat healing. Of course rage does not help with fireballs, but advantage on DEX saves from Danger Sense helps (save your indomitable for WIS saves). And of course all the fun stuff with superiority dice and combat manoeuvres... However, you can only rage twice and they refresh on a long rest... [/QUOTE]
