The Barbarian is an excellent warrior and has a powerful rage. No other can match his sheer physical toughness. While in his berserk fury, he becomes stronger and tougher, better able to defeat his foes and withstand their attacks. These rages leave him winded and he has the energy for only a few each day.
From the Shadow Marches to the Eldeen Reaches come brave, even reckless warriors. Civilized people call them barbarians or berserkers and suspect them of mayhem, impiety, and atrocities. These "barbarians," however, have proven their mettle and their value to those who would be their allies. To enemies who underestimate them they have proved their cunning and resourcefulness.
Dexterity is useful to barbarians, especially those that wear light armor.
A high Constitution score lets a barbarian rage longer and gives him more hit points.
The barbarian's class skills are Intimidate, Jump, Listen and Swim.
Intimidate is useful for attracting the attention of enemies, drawing attacks away from party members with lower HP scores.
Barbarians with extra skill points may want to consider Tumble, or Spot to detect hidden enemies.
Good offensive feats for barbarians include Power Attack, Weapon Focus, Stunning Blow, Point Blank Shot, and Two Handed Fighting.
Dodge and Combat Expertise are excellent if you meet the Dexterity or Intelligence minimums and want to boost your defense.
Other good choices include Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes Toughness, Bullheaded, or any of the feats that add bonuses to skills you want to emphasize.
Barbarians begin play with Defensive Fighting, Fast Movement, Heroic Durability, Martial Weapon Proficiency, Medium Armor Proficiency, Rage, Shield Proficiency: General, Simple Weapon Proficiency, Sneak, Sunder and Trip
