When I looked at barbarian, it had nearly everything that I wanted except for good Reflex saves and wild empathy. Whirling Frenzy mostly fixes the Reflex saves, but what would you say would be fair to swap out in exchange for wild empathy? My thought was to delay uncanny dodge/improved uncanny dodge by a level and eliminate trap sense and its upgrades. Would this seem balanced to people?
