My rage is my armor. My rage is your doom.” A barbarian can be a quiet warrior who launches into a rampage, or a fierce savage who lives for violence. Do you do battle out of duty and honor, wielding your weapon with grim resolve, or do you savor every blow you deal? Whatever your purpose, 1you are a barbarian—a force to be feared. Despite your reputation for brutality, you are more than muscle and savagery. Your bond to the primal spirits makes you a wellspring of force and vitality. It is the spirits that make you a barbarian—they funnel power through your body, instill rage in your heart, and wreak carnage through your weapon. Rageblood barbarians inspire their allies with their ferocity and endurance; thaneborn barbarians bolstering themselves and their comrades with their courage and resilience. A thunderborn barbarian is surrounded by a cloak of thunder spirits; a whirling barbarian, armed with two weapons, cuts through foes like a cyclone. Whatever type of barbarian you are, you’ll find options in this chapter to supportSample you. file ✦ Playing a Barbarian: Ideas about the barbarian’s place in the world and at the game table, to help you bring your character to life. ✦ New Builds: The thunderborn barbarian emits menacing war cries that make enemies stagger in fear. The whirling barbarian is a dervish of death, wielding a weapon in each hand. ✦ New Class Features: With thunderborn wrath, the death of each enemy lets you scatter your other foes in fear. Using your whirling slayer feature, you traverse the battlefield like a tornado. ✦ New Powers: You can unleash a voice like thun- der or fight with two weapons as if they were twin claws. The chapter also supports existing builds with powers that inspire allies, add vigor, and dole out brutal blows. ✦ New Paragon Paths: You can harness primal force in the form of seven new paragon paths.
