09-25-05, 05:17 PM Are there any good builds for barbarians out there? i've decided to play one for next game, but I can't think of any good paths to follow other than Frenzied Berzerker, and I don't want to do that.

Wolf Totem Barbarian [Unearthed Arcana] 1 - Feats: Power Attack
WT Barbarian 2 - (Improved Trip)
Rogue 1 - Combat Reflexes, 1d6 SA
Rogue 2 - (Evasion)
WT Barbarian 3 -
WT Barbarian 4 - Knockback [Complete Warrior] or [Qualifying Feat for Runescarred Berserker]
WT Barbarian 5 - Track
Rogue 3 - 2d6 SA

Use a Heavy Flail or a Halberd to maximize your damage while still making use of those trip attacks. Each trip should trigger a Sneak Attack for Weapon Damage + Power Attack Bonus (don't forget the 2HW multiplier) + 2d6 Sneak Attack. Your Reflex save gets a needed boost, Evasion is always nice, and you're still averaging d10 HD. Against those things that can't be tripped, you can always just Rage and bash 'em. :D

Since when does being tripped deny one of their dex bonus to AC?
