  • Higher base movement speed than any other class
  • Proficient with all simple and martial weapons
  • Can wear medium armor or lighter and shields, except tower shields
  • Cannot inherently cast spells or use wands
  • Cannot be of lawful alignment

    From the Shadow Marches to the Eldeen Reaches come brave, even reckless warriors. Civilized people call them barbarians or berserkers and suspect them of mayhem, impiety, and atrocities. These barbarians, however, have proven their mettle and their value to those who would be their allies. To enemies who underestimated them, they have proved their cunning and resourcefulness.
