Okay, so talked with my DM, the posted orc race is a no go due to the +4 on strength. However, the Warforged is okay. And since Barbarian was the popular pick (two votes compared to one on everything else), we'll be going with that race is still in the air.
For the D&D literate, here's the numbers I rolled up for stats: 16, 13, 12, 9, 17, 14
Yeah, they're really nice and I think I already know what the dump stat will be but feel free to discuss how they should be distributed among Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. For the less D&D literate, from left to right, that goes how hard you hit, how beefy you are, how agile you are, how smart you are, your level of common sense, and your people's skills. Higher the number in there, the better.
Now, remember, we still need a race, name, gender, alignment, yadda. Barbarians have one limitation, which is they can't be any sort of Lawful. Here's the page with the full details, but long story short, Barbarians are pretty straight forward.
I'm also going to need you guys to pick the skills that you think our Barbarian should have. They should be right on the page, and as a slight note, we have a house rule that allows you to use strength instead of charisma for intimidation.
Other nice bonuses include having the ability to run faster than normal, RAGE THE FUCK OUT, and not being able to read. We can fix that for a few skill points if you guys want.
We'll also need one feat, unless we're being a human barbarian, in which case we need two feats. Just pick something that sounds useful, no need to scour the list for the optimal choice.
We'll also be needing a weapon. Being a Barbarian, we'll need something big and damaging. As far as armor goes, there's really not much choice involved, so don't worry about that.
So yeah, we got all of that dry stuff and actually fun stuff like the fluff for our character that still needs to be filled out. Any takers?
