And a hurler and archer barbarian would allow Rage to effect their ranged attacks.Barbarian is one of the most one trick pony classes as many of the base features focus on Str based Melee.And still the new DMs I mentored knew nothing of Dragon+ or DMGuild until I mentioned it.  Everyone will kow about the Strixhaven book. FNo where near as many will see the top downloads on DMGuild.Nah. I disagree with a lot of this.You pick a fighing style at level 1 or 2. Only Champions get a second at high levels. And Shields stink in 5e without a fighting style backing it up. And you can't even throw multiple weapons in a turn without a fighting style. It's 5e that makes characters into one trick ponies. It isn't about optimization. The advantage of switching styles is extremely low and is only done when a warrior's primary style is cancelled. 5e barely learned the lessons of 3e and 4e and hamstrung itself to be easier.</blockquote>
