REMASTERED BARBARIAN CLASS GUIDE - Player Core 2 Pathfinder 2e

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

I just noticed a huge change to base Rage. It no longer lowers your AC! Thats....kinda huge! That means its a huge buff to animal skin a d makes Giant Instinct less vulnerable

[@richardmenz3257]

@@emptyptr9401 barb does get 1 ac less in general versus fighter so the 12 hp is closer to 10 hp then matching other marital tankyness. I actually think the rage damages are slightly to high for no minus ac though. I do think it was a good change for multi classing though.

You mentioned "Intimidating Strike as useful as ever", but I think you missed one important thing about it-- before the remaster it was only a fighter feat, not a barbarian feat. This is huge. :-)

[@juaquinfuentesjara7352]

About unstapple Juggernaut, its resistance to all damage. It not only means it applies to whatever damage you get hit by, it applies to all types of damage in that instance by its value. So if the enemy hits for 50 bludgeoning, 10 spirit, 10 fire, 10 mental, you dont just take 8 damage less. you take 32 damage less.

[@NuclearPoweredGinger]

Unstoppable Juggernaut is just straight good though, NoNat. That resistance applies to _each_ damage type on an attack and many high level creatures don’t deal only once damage type. They’ll be dealing damage spread across 2 or 3 types because their attacks have damage riders. Shit adds up _quick!_

[@Sordorack]

yep, resistance to all damage is awesome. not as flashy as other things but still quite nice i think

[@tamadesthi9348]

Fun story about friendly toss: in our abomination vaulta campaign, our barbarian would most often kick down a door, trigger an encounter, toss our goblin inventor in who than would trigger their explosion. Sometime we yelled 'fire in the hole' or 'goblin in the hole'

[@ReaperGrimm5594]

Fury Instinct gets resistance to all physical weapon damage Awesome! ...but not unarmed strikes. That is stupid.

[@THEdeadlynightshade1646]

Not as stupid as the metal kinetitis getting resistance/immunity to metal but not metal weapons I cast magnetic acceleration 10th level cause why not launching a nail at Mach 5 nah I'm immune (wizard with -1 str mod picks up nail poke) noooo my only weakness

[@_phloggy_]

i mean... you can always ask your GM if it could apply to unarmed strikes

[@EngineeringDruid]

50:43 you are faster than the fastest living man, while potentially wearing full armor, holding a 2-handed oversized weapon, and carrying a lot of weight in your bag, i still say that is very FAST

[@SilverGhost0]

And can run LONGER than the fastest man alive.

[@muditjohar5323]

For ur mention of the level 10 barb being just barely faster than Usain Bolt, remember they are doing this while carrying around all of their equipment while still being prepared to attack or defend themselves as needed. Imagine Usain Bolt running with heavy armor while carrying a greatsword or something and still being able to react to opponents and hit them with a reaction. Also this is a barbarian who is not really caring about being that fast. The fast barbarians would have fleet and other feats that increase movement speed. If you compare the Usain bolt of barbarians to Usian Bolt, the comparison isnt even close

[@CarBENbased]

Came here to say this. He's really underselling how impressive that is. Especially since they can keep doing it and after just over one round Usain bolt would have to rest.

[@y813lnJack]

This is all so awesome. I am sad they didn't do the funniest thing with the gain darkvision while raging by calling it: Seeing Red: while raging you gain darkvision but you see in shades of red instead of black and white

I think paizo missed an opportunity when they called it "animal instinct". They could have had the "fury instinct" and the "furry instinct".

[@wanderingpooka]

I think Fury Barbarian should gain bonus Barbarian feat slots that they can choose a Barbarian feat of the appropriate level every morning. They'd meditate about what is making them angry that day. They'd kind of work like the Pathfinder 1e Brawler.

[@eamk887]

Sure, but there's like, what, a handful of spells that don't have the concentrate trait, and aren't uncommon?

[@sandybachelor8240]

Thank you NoNat1! There is a lot of cool changes and interesting build options.

[@GrimmDichotomy]

I'll speak up for Mage Hunter and why it feels fair to be two actions: Firstly, it automatically applies Stupefy on the hit/crit, there's no save to resist it. Second, the target does not become temporarily immune after affected, so you can do this EVERY ROUND. Thirdly, and most importantly, Stupefy does more than just impose spell failure: it imposes an equal number penalty to ALL CHECKS that use Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Even just looking at Spellcasting alone, let alone Perception, Will, and a bevvy of skills, this imposes a penalty to the DC and Modifier of their spells even if they do manage to get around the flat check. So think of it not just as potential Spell Failure, but also as a +1/+2 bonus to the entire party for their saves/AC against that caster's spells, which you can reapply every single turn.

[@Nonat1s]

That's totally valid! My brain was thinking so anti-spell that I hadn't considered the application of Stupefy to actually help your allies target the enemies with their Will Save effects. Fair points!!

[@GrimmDichotomy]

@@Nonat1s and that's fair, Superstition is built to be the Anti-Spellcaster badass! And it's also easy to lose track of what condition does what, so no sweating it =] That said I agree that Giant Instinct is the most bonkers by far, I played one for a 2E conversion of Jade Regent and my beloved Tuska became an at-will Fireball with no Reflex save in every encounter as soon as he hit 14th level xD Thanks for your coverage, been happy to see you back and in better spirits! 💚

[@paladinslash4721]

I think Fury’s best option for their level 1 feat is raging intimidation. Funnily enough it’s also a great thematic choice for Fury.

[@os2331]

Barreling Charge is very good if you have ever encountered the situations it is meant for. At the very least, it is athletics-based tumble through that does not count enemy spaces as difficult terrain AND can travel through multiple enemies. For no extra actions than moving and attacking would take anyway. It is great for finding flanking in tight corridors and breaking past an enemy's front line. Is it worth a feat over just tumbling through? Maybe not, but Strength-based barbarians and fighters who dump dexterity for heavy armor would lack the numbers to tumble through successfully anyway.

[@itsmefirefox]

At 28:03 you can see that barreling charge is two actions

[@Nonat1s]

Shh. That's just Big-TTRPG trying to trick you. It's definitely 3-actions and I definitely didn't just misread it and overreact 👀

[@y813lnJack]

Rewatching cause looking through the book again and saw giant barbian and just went grappling halfling barbarian who went my kin take down giants with slingshots i take down giants by becoming giant. And i have to say the biting of your lip came at the best time cause that is pretty much what the ability does. Damage them not talking bad. Love the videos and im so happy you are doing full breakdowns and not just changes cause it makes new people like me able to go to one video to learn about a class instead of having to learn old then changes at same time

[@reddragon9064]

50:19 so i saw that feat and immediately put it on a monk build of mine (yay free archetype) and a monk can get around 80-85 speed without spells at high levels so with that feat and being quickened only you can move 765 feet in a single round which is roughly 87 miles per hour

[@spellelf]

We gettin' unbelievably angry with this one boys! 😡😡😡

[@wiggledixbubsy98]

Why

[@FormerRuling]

Sudden Leap is better than you even advertised. Its essentially Sudden Charge but on Mega-Crack. I think you forgot that Long/High Jumps give you a free stride baked in already, so its essentially a Stride->Jump(your choice of which)->Strike. Thats much more flexible and more powerful than stride->stride->strike.

[@FormerRuling]

Next point - sure Silencing Strike is incapacitation, but more notably it _doesnt_ have any Traits like Flourish or Press, meaning there's no reason not to use it every time you would have otherwise made a normal strike meaning it's effect will eventually land just because of the shear number of times you'll be hitting something with it over your encounter.

[@FormerRuling]

Level 6 is still lame..you have all these instinct specific reactions that are honestly balanced pretty low power....or Reactive Strike. You just ALWAYS take the Reactive Strike.

[@procrastinatinggamer]

Between Vengeful Strike and Barreling Charge, I feel like you should start doing a follow-up corrections video pointing out what you got wrong (other comments have pointed it out but to put them both in the one place - Barreling Charge is two actions, not three, and Vengeful Strike only becomes a free action if the attack against you that triggered it was a crit on you).

That's really not worth a new video, he can accomplissh the same thing by just writing and pinning a comment under this video.

Being pedantic...but the level 15 giant barbarian attack is the biggest single action damage attack. The single biggest damage attack is still an imaginary weapon amped spellstrike with organsight.

[@reddragon9064]

its not the highest max damage but its the highest min/flat damage that i can think of at least

[@ColdNapalm42]

@@reddragon9064 Not even min damage. because even if you manage to roll all 1, that magus damage will be higher. And while rolling all 1s on 3 or 4 dice while uncommon is something that can happen, having that happen on 35 or 36 dice...not so much. The big thing is, that magus attack is a 3 action attack. Really 4 since you need to recharge spellstrike before doing it again. But as all that damage in on one attack, you can boost that into the stratosphere to crit on an 8...which basically one shot things. But flat damage...yes, that is true.

[@reddragon9064]

​@@ColdNapalm42 i did the math i also play both classes at this moment so i know what your talking about trust me but, if you account for that first turn bonus damage a barbarian can have more min damage for a single attack its like 6 more but still. i only bring this up because nonat was almost exclusively talking about it when he was mentioning barbarians doing the most single attack damage. he still wrong cause after your comment i had to look that up and i now made one adding in my personal knowledge of the system so thanks for introducing me to those spells as i did not know they existed dont know when ill be able to play my shadow magus but should be fun when i do but now im curious what's the most damage in a single turn you can do cause if i did math right with only a few runes and a single enlarge spell i can get a giant barbarian to with 3 actions do 600 or so damage max (combines a few feats and a condition and of course the spell) its unlikely but its possible and its to a single target

[@PlatonicLiquid]

I mean if we're going to be pedantic anyways....Disintegrate, Chilling Darkness, Moonlight Ray and Sun Blade all have higher base damage than Imaginary Weapon against their appropriate targets. Additionally, the bonus damage from Mighty Rage applies to any Strike, including the one made as part of a Spellstrike, so distinguishing between single action vs multiple action damage doesn't make sense here. EDIT: I forgot Holy Light

[@alexpage5268]

You made me laugh! Pedantic indeed.

[@TolPhontos]

Just a quick note: Terrifying Howl specifically states that the targets get immune to TH, so you could in fact still demoralize.

[@megavore97]

It's still a demoralize check though, so immunity applies as normal.

[@FormerRuling]

Just like Dazzling Display, because it specifically uses the Demoralize action, it triggers both the demoralize restrictions and it's own cooldown per RAW.

[@TolPhontos]

[@porgy29]

I feel there is a lot of flavorful design space for Fury barbarians as "the angriest" barbarian: I could see them getting a bonus to Will saves or mental effects while raging because they are almost mindless. Maybe some type of almost hunters edge style ability where at the start of the rage they choose 1 target as the focus of the rage and get bonuses against that person in particular. An ability that if they get knocked to 0/go unconscious when they get healed/woken up they can quickly re-enter rage and bound back up.

[@player03]

I think you're underselling the first two effects of Earthquake. To a martial, -2 to attacks, AC, and skills is basically frightened 2. Frightened 2 with no save is no joke... as long as your own team has a way to avoid the penalties. Then there are the fissures. Sure the climb DC is low, but it barely matters because you only climb 10 feet on a crit. You still need 1 action to stand from prone, 1-2 actions to stash held items, 4 actions to climb, and 1-2 actions to take the items back out. Fail your save and you're out of combat for multiple rounds, and it doesn't even have the incapacitation trait! I think the reason this was allowed is because most enemies at this level can fly. But then again, Quaking Stomp only takes one action. There's enough time to Sunder Spell or Sunder Enchantment first, and maybe remove their flight.

1:26:10 Objection Orc Ferocity is better in the sense that it 1.

Orc Ferocity only increases your wounded condition by 1, whereas Unstoppable Juggernaut increases it by 2 Granted Orc Ferocity is only once per day at base whereas Unstoppable Juggernaut can be used as many times as you want so long as you can reenter a rage before being dropped to 0 again Though with higher level Orc feats, Orc Ferocity can be used once per hour, and ultimately as often as you want so long as there's something in melee range that can be downed in a single hit

How would Conan the Cimmerian spec out in PathFinder Core? By Crom, the Barbarian Class diverted from diverted from Howard's creation. The Dragon Magazine #63 provides Gygax's interpretation of a Fantasy Barbarian in the article, "The big, bad barbarian". This is an excerpt of the July 1982 issue: The Barbarian: General description Barbarians are a sub-class of fighters who are adept at many skills necessary for survival in a hostile environment. These skills include rapid movement, climbing, use of many weapons, certain “sixth senses,” and many secondary and tertiary skills. They are likewise tough and able to recover from damage quickly. Barbarians may be of any non-lawful alignment. The base movement rate for a barbarian is 15”. 〔note: 12" is standard rate〕

[@joshuahendershot196]

Giant Instinct Barbarian Spin to Win sounds like a very fun combo

[@joshuahendershot196]

I think the main reason the barbarian's dragon transformation gets all those buffs at 18th level is because it equates to heightening the dragon form spell to 8th rank "Heightened (8th) Your battle form is Huge, you gain a +20-foot status bonus to your fly Speed, and your attacks have 10-foot reach (or 15-foot reach if they previously had 10-foot reach). You instead gain AC = 21 + your level, 15 temporary HP, an attack modifier of +28, a damage bonus of +12, and Athletics +28. Your Dragon Breath deals an additional 4d6 damage." The +20 ft bonus to speed and +12 to melee damage match 1:1 The only difference is the bonus to dragon breath damage which gets the average of +14 from that 4d6

The nice thing about Thrash is that it isn't on the MAP. It's a saving throw for free damage. So you still want to make a strike against your grabbed foe, like, ideally a power attack to hit like a truck against their off-guard AC, then you follow it up with Thrash. It's like the Rogue's "Twist the Knife" feat that lets you just do some more damage after landing a piercing or slashing attack that got sneak attack. Rather than risking a miss with MAP on a second strike, it lets you just piggyback more damage on that prior strike without fail.

[@AgentForest]

I think "come and get me" is meant for when you're surrounded and need them to keep hitting you. Flanking is better in a more typical fight, but if you are swarmed and your teammates aren't really in a position to flank all the enemies, being able to get temp HP and improve your damage output against all of them is decent.

48:02 I think "Come and Get Me" used to be more powerful before the Remaster when Barbarians got "Deny Advantage" at Level 3, making them immune to being flat-footed/off-guard to creatures of their level or lower. You could gain the benefits without actually putting yourself at greater risk against certain enemies. However, in the Remaster with Barbarians getting "Furious Footfalls" at Level 3 instead, this feat seems much weaker.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I really liked the fact that Rage gave an AC penalty; it was very thematic and also had ties to previous editions of PF and D&D.

Just to clarify some assertions made with adding Rage bonus to damage on certain feats: I’m certain the Rage bonus used for Thrash and other likewise feats is the base +2 Rage damage NOT the extra damage from your instincts. So saying adding the megaton Giant Instinct Barbarian damage (which is specifically for the WEAPON they are using) can be misleading. It’s worth consulting your GM because in my opinion it’s clear it is NOT extra rage damage from Dragon, Animal, Giant, etc.

Okay as someone addicted to the loosing game of making grapple good since my 3.5 days, I'll be the one to try and argue for Tangle of Battle. And the best I can come up with is it should have been like a level 1 or 2 feat. Its much better down there, but should not be level 10 at all, especially since it burns your reaction to use. EDIT: Oh wait, Furious Grab and Embrace the Pain are things, and they are both the different directions I would think to fix Tangle. I think you are right and Tangle is a beta-test artifact.

Make grappling good?!? It's borderline broken if you know what to do with it.

[@paulwright7194]

Tangle of Battle is worse than what you stated. In addition to the drawbacks you mention, the fact that the trigger is a barbarian's crit means that very often, the trigger will have already killed the target anyway, rendering the feat's benefit useless.

14:48 Not quite as simple as that - you can't just pick two. Arcane can only be picked with occult or divine, not primal, for instance. 50:15 To be fair, if I saw someone built like Arnold Schwarzanegger running towards me at Usain Bolt speeds, I would be terrified. 1:16:20 The only realistic use case I can see is against shields. Not that there's likely to be many enemies using Shield Block. 1:18:58 It's on fails, too, not just crit fails. If you choose to reroll a failure and get a crit fail, you can choose to just go back and use the failure.

I would like to point out the Fissures on Earthquake are a DC15 climb, not a DC15 to just get out, and they are 40 ft deep, so a creature with no climb speed is looking at 4 actions to get out

Clarity, the superstitous resistance you cannot combine divine and arcane, and occult and primal. It is either one of two of the first two and one of two for the second two. This was intentional as they clearly didn't want to to cover two opposing traditions to cover the most types of magic. Just clarity to don't just pick any two you pick a combination of two presented...

Why did they make Inner Strength Spirit barbarian only? What the heck Paizo! I was using that on my Fury Barb!
