Barbarian

Characteristics:

the barbarian is an excellent warrior. Where the fighter has training and discipline, however, the barbarian has a powerful rage. While in this berserk fury, he becomes stronger and tougher, better able to defeat his foes and withstand their attacks. These rages leave him winded, and he only has the energy for a few such spectacular displays per day. But those few rages are usually sufficent. He is at home in the wild and runs at great speed.

Alignment:

the barbarian is never lawful because they are wild so they are chaotic.

Religion:

Barbarians usually distrust established religions and prefer a natural relationship with the cosmos while others devote themselves to powerful deities such as Kord god of strength,Obad Hai god of nature, Erythnul, god of slaughter

Races:

Human barbarians come from the distant lands on the edge of civilization. Half Orc barbarians lived among orcs before abandoning them for human lands. Dwarf barbarians are rare usually coming from dwarven kingdoms that have fallen into barbarism as a result from war with goblinoids, Orcs , or giants.
