Halfling Barbarian

[jcTharin]

OK, I was thinking of making a barbarian and I was thinking of what race to pick.

Human looked good because there good at everything.
Warforged looked good because they are almost made for the barbarian class.

Then I thought. "Hey, I role-play a chaotic aligned bard! I shouldn't do something just because it 'makes since', I should do whatever I want!"

Being a chaotic neutral person I must do things that are chaotic or I will lose my alignment! (Lawful alignments, eww)

So I decided to make a Halfling Barbarian.
Why? The same reason a bard does anything!

But being chaotic I decided to go against the rules that a chaotic neutral aligned person should not do anything logical or anything that makes since so I decided to do something that is logical and makes since and ask the forms how to make a Halfling Barbarian that isn't a total gimp.

Chaotic neutral logic for the win.

I didn’t see any good builds for a Halfling barbarian because it wasn’t the sane thing to do or something…

Sane is boring.


So yeah, someone post some tips or a build that will help me make a barbarian that has everyone that looks at me snigger for making something so silly. Yet afterwards they will be impressed at the fact that everything I touch dies.

I already have a rogue for the “everything I touch dies” part, but I want the silly part.

Also if you have an idea for a character that is sillier than a Halfling barbarian post it I want to see.

2 rogue/18 Barbarian

16 STR
16 DEX
16 CON


Dual wielding heavy picks.

Max UMD alternating between jump, tumble, and open locks. Thieves skills are worthless on this build.

Sit back and smile when they laugh. Then watch them cry, try and keep up.

Devestating x6 multipilied criticals with frenzied berserker 3 and the heavy picks. With the rapid fire attack speed of two weapon fighting means dead things fast.


An even more chaotic build is a warforged melée caster in afamantine body, all three inscribed armors, an arcane sigil docent and seven fingered gloves.

I like my Battle squeak

Stat lineup of 16, 16, 16, 8, 8, 8 for a 32 pointer. All level ups into STR ( 28 point build loses the extra points in Dex and goes twohander only )

Go either Twohanded fighting feats or two weapon fighting feats with the addition of a +1 dex tome as a 32 pointer.

Take the frenzied berserker required enhancements and any others that sound good to you.

20 Barb or 18 barb/2 rogue are both interesting. So is 18 barb/ 2 fighter for more feats.

hu-flung-pu has a solid concept there. I would add that after 10 skill points have gone to jump then you should put points into balance. Also.. don't put more than 1-2 points into tumble, you just need enough to be able to do it if you want to... you'll never have enough to do flips.

When my current barb caps I'll be making something along these lines I think.

hu-flung-pu's build sounds like fun - you get haste boost, some sneak attack and maybe even enough UMD for heal scrolls.

For THF id go Barb 20 tho.

[Bekki]

Barb 18/ Ftr. 2

Str 18
Dex 18
Con 18

Ability increases: con 2/ Str 2

Unbuffed hit points should be over 300 hp at Level 16.
And her str. Will be at least a 19 unbuffed, unraged and with no items.

At level 5 with rage, and a rage ring she is already hitting 30 str.

And dual wielding flaming swords of Pg she is a little cuisinart!

Much fun to play!

Not just heals, scrolls of haste and wands of stoneskin and displacement and most importantly at the early levels, you get wands of lesser restoration to remove fatigue instantly.

If you max balance at creation with the high DEX you'll be at +7 to your balance skill. Not really necessary to boost it sky high.
