arbarians are tough and hardy fighters capable of surviving great damage. They are fearsome and unparalleled warriors, relying on their great strength and berserker rage to get them out of most situations. They can usually recover from damage more quickly than others, but while physically impressive, they are mentally unimpressive. Barbarians also fear and detest magic and will never use any magical item.

Due to their wild upbringing, barbarians can easily become proficient at a wide range of weapons. However, they are best off with an edged weapon, such as a sword, to start their rampage.

Barbarians are not usually concerned about their alignment, being anything from evil to neutral to good.
