Jul 27, 2005 11:15:08 Play a Barbarian in 3.5 Ravenloft? I have a character in mind - but I am a little concerned about the rage not ending prematurely and wiping out my party. Does anyone have any experience with this? Has it been a problem?

well in fact there is a character in one of the novels and stories of the old 2nd edition, that could be considered a Barbarian, or a very angry fighter. in fact he become something else after an adventure, a Garou, so indeed he needed to have his rage in control, but when he could loose it, he was quite impresive.

i forget his name but he is a red haired mountain of a man, with a big axe and bad attitude, he appears in Mordenheim chasing after Adam, and in a small story in Tales of Ravenloft where he almost become a victim (yeah having a dark curse could be a blessing, but not always)

Jul 28, 2005 6:42:07 Ivan Dragonov is described in 'Champions of the Mists' as being a high-level ranger - monster hunter. While certainly able to enter an impressive and often uncontrollable rage, I don't think he could be considered a true 'barbarian' due to his upbringing in Stangengrad, and tutelage under the priest Hamer.

Jul 28, 2005 18:37:27 Well i believe that in Ravenloft a "Barbarian" could be another thing a little different from a "savage" or "incultured" individual (but i suppose there would be in some realms, there is one with vikings at least where the "berseker" would be adequate).

But in more cultured domains a barbarian could be an outdorsman with with really bad temper problems, or a brutish individual breaking heads in the local tavern (i trully believe i read it somewhere), he could also be a warrior with a blessing/curse that empower him but makes him a murderous monster (as i believe the berserks, the clasic rager are just that).

Just lest remember barbarian, fighter, rogue, etc. are just labels for a lot of "profession".

Jul 30, 2005 21:58:27 Theoretically, any of the Core Domains could produce a barbarian. Rather than belonging to a tribe of vikings or something like that, they would probably rural outcasts, mountain men, or sewer dwelling Calibans. They would be rarest in a Renaissance level domain, except for the sewer dwellers of course.
