so, just for fun I suppose, and if any of my characters pick up barbarian in my next game; I wanted to look at the Barbarian agility feature.  As it stands, it was either over or under powered with hide armor expertise.  So, I though up 4 varients for each of the feral mights to compensate.  Characters would choose 1 of the following.

Barbarian Stamina - While you are not wearing heavy armor, you can use your Constitution modifier in place of your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier to determine your AC. 

In addition, while you are raging, increase your surge value by your constitution modifier

Barbarian Agility - While raging, you gain a +1 bonus to speed.

Barbarian Mien - While you are not wearing heavy armor, you can use your Charisma modifier in place of your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier to determine your AC.

In addition, while you are raging, you at-will barbarian powers gain the fear and rattling keywords.

Barbarian Fury - While you are not wearing heavy armor, you can use your Constitution modifier in place of your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier to determine your AC. 

In addition, while you are raging, your at-will barbarian powers gain the thunder keyword, and push the target 1 additional square on a hit.


Thoughts?

I think using either Con or Charisma for AC is the best way to handle it.

barbarian Fury has a nice feel to it.

I'm not exactly sure why your Con and Cha to AC give other raging benefits. It'd also unfairly treat the dexterity barbarian.

That sait, ditching the current agility for Con or Cha to AC seems perfectly fine. Indeed wasn't this the suggestion that most people proposed during the playtest? It was wizards sily fix that created the issue in the first place.

I guess I don't understand the problem. What's wrong with Brb agility as it stands?
