The lightfoot halfling barbarian will invariably and defenitely choose Str and Con for their +2. You just unkowingly proved my point. That halfling barbarian will be barely discernable from a half orc, a dwarf, a human, a dragon, a thiefling or whatever other race you care to put in the barbarian shoes. Ho yes, a small change here and there. Lucky trait, resitance to poison etc... but down the end, they will all be exactly the same.Here's our take on the halfling barb that we had not so long ago. Halfling barbarian zerker. Dex 20, St 10, CN 16. The little bastard was quite a sight to behold. She had an amulet of health, ring +1 and a shield +1. She was at 23 AC. It could go higher with haste, shield of faith and warding bond. She was using a short sword as her main weapon. She might not have been the most effective damage dealer, but she was a terror to behold. She was a crit seeker and she was quite tanky. High AC, Zounds of HP and +5 to damage while not raging is not that abnormal. Even by giving advantage to the enemies, she still had high AC and would take half the damage. The little she devil was quite a surprise for her enemies and that group retired at level 15 right after OotA. She would have killed to get her hands on a flaming sword but she was still quite happy with her vicious short sword. With advantage, she was able to deal a lot of damage as she was a good crit seeker and this meant that the sword's ability would kick relatively often. She was often enlarged and would then used her rapier (vicious too...) for the same effect.RP wise, she was playing as a timid candid little halfling. She did not look strong and she was not the type to lift a man in the air in anger. But boy could she clean a bar of bad clients! When she was raging, she would describe herself acting like Taz in looneytoons. The red hair halfling was a flaming tornado that you had to take into account. A dex base barb...If she had had the choice of floating ASI, she would have made a plain old barb. St and CN enhanced. What is the surprise in that? Every Barbs will look the same, mechanically.</blockquote>
