Barbarian

The **Barbarian** is one of the 3 playable characters in the D&D Campaign, the other two being the Bard and Wizard. He is the party's melee fighter and tank, who is both harder for enemies to damage, and is able to deal out a lot of damage on his own.

As with the other 2 players, the Barbarian can be controlled every 2 turns or so, when Doug picks a random Twitch Chat member typing the word "!barbarian", using the ChatGod app. Said player will be able to control the Barb and make moves as him on his turn.

## Personality

Prior to any gameplay, Doug let Twitch Chat vote on few personality traits for all 3 characters, as a sort of foundation point for their personalities.

The Barbarian is a really supportive dumb bro who also has short term memory loss. He also cannot tell left or right apart, as well as being addicted to gambling.

The first three were 100% based on common stereotypes about the Barbarian D&D Class, and how they're portrayed as low intellect brutes. The fourth one was most likely based on Chat's own gambling addiction.

One thing noting is that while Chat voted for one of the Barb's personality traits to be "Got kicked out of Art School", this wouldn't technically be a Personality trait.

## Abilities

The Barbarian has an Armor Class (AC) of 16, meaning enemies would have to roll a 16 or higher to hit him, making him effectively a tank. Just like the other players, he has 3 Hearts. Below is a list of his abilities:

* **Reckless Attack** (Every Turn)

He can add 5 to his next attack roll, but enemies also add 5 in their attack rolls against the Barbarian. Essentially makes both enemies and himself easier to hit.

* **Extra Attack** (Once per Dungeon Floor)

Allows him to attack twice on his turn.

* **Intimidating Presence** (Once per Stream)

Makes him scream and frighten all nearby enemies. They must spend their next turn moving away from the Barbarian.

## Character History

### Pre-Campaign

The Barbarian has said before that he was born in an appliance aisle of a store, although this could've been something he fabricated when he was intimidating a sentient fridge. At some point, when the Barb grew up, he failed Art School.

He eventually became best friends with the Bard and the Wizard, and they went on travels together. However, one day a witch named Babagaboosh, cast a spell on the three. This spell had restricted their thinking, and only allowed one single braincell to activate every 2 turns or so.

## Trivia

* The Barb loves Crunchywrap Supremes from Taco Bell.
* He is allergic to electronics.
* The Babagaboosh backstory, if it wasn't obvious already, is an in-universe explanation for the way Doug lets Chat play the characters.
