Barbarian¶

A Barbarian can be an excellent warrior. While not as disciplined or as specialized as a Fighter, the Barbarian can willingly throw himself into a berserker rage, becoming a tougher and stronger opponent.

Class features¶

May not wear armor heavier than splint mail.
May not exceed Specialization (two slots) with any weapon class.
May achieve Specialization (two slots) in any fighting style and allocate three slots in Two-Weapon Style.
Moves 2 points faster than other characters.
Immune to backstab.
May use Rage ability once per day every 4 levels (starts at 1st level with one use).
11th level: gains 10% resistance to crushing, slashing, piercing, and missile damage. An additional 5% is gained at 15th and 19th level.
Hit Die: d12.

Rage¶

The enraged state lasts 5 rounds:

+4 bonus to Strength and Constitution.
–2 penalty to Armor Class (an AC improvement).
+2 bonus to saving throws vs. Spell.
Immune to charm, hold, fear, maze, stun, sleep, confusion, and level-drain spells.

Many different names, one basic function. I prefer to avoid violence, myself.

— Volo

Perhaps because everyone you meet tries to direct their violence in your direction.

— Elminster

Kits¶

The Barbarian has no kits in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
