Barbarian

Back to Classes
==Barbarian==
Barbarians are exactly what's on the label: Barbarians. They fight with wild abandon and rage, as opposed to the fighter's disciplined and trained style. They tend to use big melee weapons, preferring to be up close and personal with their kill, but ranged weapons aren't completely out of the question. They're also super tough. 
==Prerequisites==
Barbarians cannot be lawful. If a Barbarian becomes lawful, they lose the ability to rage/fury/frenzy and Indomitable Will, but keep any other abilities they have gained, and cannot level up as a Barbarian anymore. In order to gain rage back and continue leveling as a barbarian, they must become nonlawful again.
Barbarians also cannot have higher than average Intelligence for their race (for example, the dragonborn barbarian on the right must have an intelligence score of 20 or less, while a human must have 10 or less). If they raise their intelligence score above this (note that temporary enhancements from spells, potions, equipment and the like does not count towards this cap. Other corner cases from forced intelligence raising or similar may also be exempt on a case-by-case basis), they do not lose any abilities, but can no longer gain any more barbarian levels unless their score goes back down. 
Players may choose to purposely lower their Intelligence score for the purpose of taking this class at first level if they so desire, but recieve no benefit in return. To clarify, If the character you rolled has too high of an intelligence score to take this class at generation, you may lower it to whatever score you want so you meet the prerequisites. You may not lower your intelligence after character generation "just because" in order to take this class for some bonuses.

To make a little more clear, you can activate both Frenzy and Fury at the same time for double bonuses, but once fatigue sets in from Fury, you can do neither again until you rest.
