Currently going through my first ever DnD campaign as a barbarian He's a Goliath who, despite being classed as a barbarian, is an ex centurion of an imperial army. And he do wear armour, though it's only for cosmetics. And he has as of two sessions ago a greatsword made from the remains of a slain dragon god after he stabbed it in the eye. And he can wield it with one hand. He might sound overpowered but he isn't, the most powerful player in the party is our Tiefling Warlock. Barbarians are really fun. And it was the DM's (who is a dear friend of mine) idea for me to play as a Barbarian for my first character.

Level 3. This means sub classes. Barbarians have two primal paths. The first is path of the berserker. Here’s a basic idea to get your inspiration juices flowing. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Edit: I probably should have mentioned this. But before someone points this out. This comment was stolen from the How to play Barbarian video by XP to level 3. Go check them out if you haven’t. They are really funny.

No it DOES include naked, same with monk. All unarmored or natural armor are made for the creatures to be able to wear no clothes.

[@merrickmiller1224]

Dont underestimate how hard to kill a Barb with Shield and Shield Master feat is. In Rage you have advantage on the shove to knockback or knock a creature prone(Giving you and other allies advantage for attacks) and you add the shield bonus to dex save with danger sense that are with advantage now and can use your reaction to take no damage instead of half damage.

Barbarians are dope. I am currently a red Dragonborn barbarian. Also he is kind of a cannibal. My dm let my barbarian gain blood magic thru the eating of hearts.

[@ZeriocTheTank]

RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!! I'm currently playing a barBEARian right now, so seeing this made me quite happy. As my name suggest I have an affinity for tanking, and the bear totem barbarian was right a perfect fit for me. It's so much fun using the shield master fear to knock things prone so I can set things up for the rogue while still having the option to do decent damage, and take a hit when needed. Also coming up with creative ways to use my muscle in social situations keeps me on my toes, and let's not forget the 🐻 puns........I can't be the only one that uses them......can I? 🐻 🐻 🐻

Are you multiclassing Moon Druid to turn into an actual bear? :P

[@ZeriocTheTank]

Matsudiro Lol I might be stepping on the Druids toes if I did that. It is really tempting though. Bjorn is rather obsessed with bears so maybe in the future. I asked the DM if the party and myself can track and hunt down an old and powerful bear since we hit lvl 3. He agreed and came up with a concept of accepting the bear's spirit into myself so it can see the world, and I can become one with my spirit animal.

Hi CJ. as a DM and player of D&D i'm finding this Series very useful as it helps me understand the different classes and what they are capable of so please keep up the good work. just wanted to ask if you have any plans to cover the extra Archetypes for each class in Xanathar's Guide to everything?

[@DontStopThinking]

Since people many have asked for it, I guess I will kinda do quick review of each classes.

[@FlyingDominion]

My favorite multiclass combination is barbarian/wild sorcerer. My plan is to charge in and explode (via wild surge). My high hp helps keep me up in case I roll something like a self centered fireball on the wild surge table (which is my plan). I took barbarian at 1st level for higher hp. I don't usually rage until I'm low on spells, since my go to spell is shield. I also use tides of chaos to get advantage in attacks and allow my (happily obliging) DM to have me roll more on the wild surge table. With this build there are only 3 "bad" results on the wild surge table: fear, potted plant, and polymorph. This is such a fun character.

[@AnthanKrufix]

Favorite story about a barbarian was one who couldn't trigger her rage manually but instead it was triggered upon seeing circular things. Plates got smashed, wheels got crumped... Eventually the bard started manually triggering her rages as needed by telling her to stare at his buckler then backing away hastily. Then we all got attacked in the middle of the night by a band of hired assassins, surprised on all fronts, two people got knocked unconscious and were making death rolls before they'd gotten their turn, another got hit by a banish spell, only Barbarian was still active, and things were looking like bleak. ..... Then the clouds parted.

[@rpgdream9700]

haha oh wow, iv never seen this before, but man, what a unique art style, love this man, very good vid

[@legendarydigitize2523]

A good multiclass of this would be at least 2 levels of barbarian then champion fighter for the rest Because you only need rage, unarmored defense and reckless attack Maybe danger sense too For the rest is champion fighter since you can still get 6 ASI 3 extra attacks 2 action surges 3 indomitables 2 fighting styles(would recommend 2 of dueling, great weapon fighting and two weapon fighting) 15 percent chance of crits( since the natural crit is only 20 normally so its 1/20, or 5 percent. 20 or 19 means 2 outcomes to count as critical, so 2/20 or 1/10, or aka 10 percent. Then with crits at 20, 19 and 18, means 3 outcomes, 3/20 or 15 percent) Then you also have remarkable athlete in case you want to add extra pb boost to other physical ability checks that dont already use your pb Mostly dex checks like stealth or acrobatics Then ofc the final champion feature of getting heal ovetime if your hp is below half but not at 0 So add it all together Rage, plus reckless attack for advantage in all your attacks, plus 3 attacks with fighter's 2 extra attacks, then action surge With 15 percent crit chance Results in just complete frontline, brute force massacre

[@luckyowl1681]

Heh. I like this vid. I will admit, I don't see Berserker enough at the tables where I'm at (we're a big group with multiple tables). Usually when somebody here takes Barbarian, they go Totem Warrior and immediately choose the Bear Totem... and yet the way they play suggests they SHOULD be Berserkers. None of them even bother remembering what else a Totem Warrior can do, alas. They take the Totem for the defense option, and that's it. ... I really want to see a Pure Eagle Barbarian. I mean, leaping Rage Beast once the epic tier is hit. XD I mean, Speak with Animals, Beast Sense, both as Rituals. Be Dar the Beastmaster from that series. Be Minsc if he was a Barbarian instead of a Ranger. Have your own little "space hamster" buddy and all of that. I just... wish the players at my table realized that with a Totem Warrior, there's more to a Barbarian than rage and attack. Rage and Attack is the bread and butter of the Berserker. Be Berserker if they really want to go all out with that playstyle. XD

I hope it makes you happy knowing my girlfriend is new to DND and wants to be a wolf totem Barbarian

[@legendarydigitize2523]

Take note future barbarians you might be super resistant to any kind of piercing, slashing and blunt damage And may have okay AC Doesnt mean the same regarding mental based saving throws like charms or banishment or other nasty ways of messing with your mind

[@therjschannel904]

Berserker sadly sucks primarily for the Frenzy drawback. Yes, gaining an extra attack as a bonus action is good, but Exhaustion is terrible, and you can only recover 1 level of Exhaustion per long rest. So if you’re in a dungeon with traps and enemies everywhere, can’t exactly take a super long rest. I’d fix it like this: when your rage ends, you instead take 1d12 Necrotic Damage. It fits the whole recklessness of the Barbarian, choosing offense over defense and just one long rest can heal you instantly

Hey CJ in your Q&A video can you make an official buyers guide (what to buy in the cheapest cost)without using any devices for example pdfs or apps

[@DontStopThinking]

Actually, I can tell you right now. The cheapest way is to just buy the starter kit. It's got all the materials you need for a level 1 - 4 adventure with the 4 basic classes. If you want more options, then you can buy the player's handbook to go with it. Amazon seems to always have a good deal for those. It would last you quite a bit until you think you are ready for larger campaigns.

[@_CarlosTe]

Hey CJ as you know me and my friends started playing D&D about 3 months ago, we just finished the Lost mines of Phandelver, I will stop being DM and will be a player for the first time and I was wondering if you could give me a name for my character, I know that I should choose the name, but I think that it would be very funny to tell my friends every weekend that the guy who teached us to play (you) named my character. BTW I will be a Half-Orc barbarian I hope that you answer this comment and give me a cool name for my character. Oh and grate video ;)

[@DontStopThinking]

Great work, Carlos! I don't know what sort or character concept you are going for with your Barbarian, but here is something I picked out of ether. "Conk Doorbane" you started breaking doors as hobby and you ended up getting hired by adventurers because you're really good with it. Your greataxe was a piece of fire giant fortress door that you picked up when your tribe raided the fire giant stronghold. Usually I like to keep barbarian's name functional and simple to understand. It causes less confusion among your kin this way. But really, one syllable name and what you do usually makes great barbarian names. If you have your own concept, just try that pattern.

Awesome video once again! :D

[@Aerythrex]

At 3:15 he states: "The unarmed attack, despite its name, is classified as a melee weapon attack, so Barbarians also get to apply the bonus [rage] damage." Im confused because the players handbook seems to contradict this. The 'Melee Attacks' section on page 195 reads: "Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can use an unarmed strike: a punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow (none of which count as weapons)." If none of those count as weapons, how can an unarmed strike be classified as a melee 'weapon' attack?

[@claudepainter-wain1788]

What sort of abilities would you suggest if I wanted to reflavour the Totem Warrior Barbarian to be devoted to the animal spirit of a vulture rather than an eagle, bear or wolf. I think it would be cool to have a barbarian that is patient and emphasizes their high Con and Low Cha by being a disgusting in the eyes of others and enduring in the sense of exhaustion (going without food or sleep for days, starved but strong) rather than being hearty.

[@Chavorrucosbarandgrill]

hello, noob question here, I'm starting to play after a small 18 years break. I'm creating a half orc barbarian wielding a great axe, my str modifier is +3. I just want to make sure I got it correctly, If I go into rage and crit I would do 1d12 normal weapon damage + 1d12 critical damage + 1d12 from Savage attacks + 3 str modifier +2 rage bonus damage, so that would be 3d12+5? That seems a bit too OP for a level 1 character, it's an average of 26 with a max damage of 41.

Aquazier as a long time rogue player I’d say rogue. In terms of combat, role play and skills it doesn’t get better. And once you hit your first ASI if your DM let’s to take Sulker feat, you can do anything in the shadows and this helps regardless of archetype.

This was a really good video. That being said, and I hate having to be this guy, unarmed attacks do NOT count as weapon attacks. This is stated in the PHB on page 195. Still this was a really good video and I look forward to seeing the warlock done as it is my favorite class.

[@DontStopThinking]

Yes, I am aware of the confusion, but I am going with Jeremy Crawford's Sage Advice. He says that unarmed strike is not a weapon, but weapon attack is a process. Rage works with the melee weapon attack process, so it is applicable. I think that the designers would have intended barbarians get that bonus with their unarmed strike anyway.

[@DontStopThinking]

Actually, the errata clarifies that you can make melee weapon attack using unarmed strike.

I realize this is old, but I had the same brief thought and looked into it. Warforged Resilience You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits. You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage. You are immune to disease. You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. You don’t need to sleep and don’t suffer the effects of exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can’t put you to sleep. That last one there, you don't suffer exhaustion from not sleeping.

Is a full character sheet necessary? I put him down as Bard. What would you do, and how would he be put into play?

[@DontStopThinking]

You are essentially playing two characters by doing that and it gives you advantage over other players, especially if he has the Bard Class feature. It is up to the DM to decide if he or she would let you do that, but I would make the retainer a statless NPC who can only do menial labour.

The class design does not intend the barbarians to wear heavy armours. Many of their features do not work while wearing them. But the resistance they get from their rage feature is better than any heavy armour they can wear.

I really think it's a shame you didn't go more in to barbarian. like you diden't even mention that totem barbarians don't have to stick with bear trueout their leveling, they could chose bear, then wolf and then eagle if they wanted to. also mentioning that totem barbarians can learn to fly true the eagle totem could have been a fun mention :)

What I said don't get is the +2 damage. Does it stack for each level? Like if I'm level 5, is it steal +2?

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Don't know how much value a answer has two months later but no, it increases according to a table in the players handbook, but to keep it simple, it's +2 at level 1-8, +3 at level 9-15 and finally +4 from level 16 to the cap of 20.

NO,it works like proficiency bonus.

Abiliti score uprgarde us one or two points?

[@DontStopThinking]

Two points total. But you can divide them between two abilities.

[@underhaykids6861]

I've never played a barbarians before i thought they where a little well.... Barbaric.. I mean their good... but i'm more of a spell caster (or ninja) at heart.

[@falcon8479]

wait so can I choose to do frenzy or does it just activate Everytime I rage

[@DontStopThinking]

As written in phb, you can choose.

How would a barbarian fighter multiclass work. I want to be the ultimate warrior combining the best of both world
