Also, the Paladin is usually the "face" of my group with +Charisma and proficiency in Persuasion, Deception and Intimidation. Also, I tend to rely on paladin Lay on Hands for my healing much more than the cleric because clerics have such important spells that I don't want to waste their slots casting heal spells and LoH always heals for exactly the amount you want. Maybe the Barb can fill the medium / 2H slot if the cleric can pick up heavy armor but usually the cleric is medium armor. So for me that means a spread or armor types, heavy, medium, light, robes and a mix of weapon styles.

Mainly because we only get a 4 person party and I like to have someone in the group who can use whatever cool new gear we find. However, I think in future games I would switch back to Paladin. Their TRUE POWER from the tabletop doesn't exactly shine through Solasta either, because we don't have the Great Weapon Master feat to truly take advantage of Reckless Attack.īarbarians are very fun and I am enjoying my current half orc barbarian game (except for his voice but we only get three choices). Barbarians tend to have lower AC than Fighters and Paladins, making this particularly scary.īarbarians are very good, but they have shortfalls that can be exploited. Necrotic is the most obvious problem given the lvl 5-6 area of the game. This is particularly brutal against enemies who uses melee attacks, but deal a form of magical damage, taking advantage of your Reckless Attack. When it comes to HP tanking, it is a liability because d12 isn't that much more HP than d10 (+13 HP at lvl 12) and Rage only prevents physical damage. Abilities that can disrupt your Rage or otherwise prevent you from having a turn. They also have Wisdom save proficiency naturally.īarbarians don't get either of these abilities and don't have Wisdom saves, making them susceptible to things like Hold Person, Fear etc. As well as some other goodies, like Heroism. Paladins get Aura of Protection, giving them the best saves in the game, on top of having access to the Bless spell themselves. Rangers are generally behind after lvl 5, so keep that in mind.įighters get bonus feats to use towards abilities they need, on top of eventually getting Indominable, which lets them reroll saves. I'm not arguing, please explain your viewpoint angle.

Tom, i havent looked into any details, just started playing, but how are Barbarians more open to magic and crowd control than, say a Fighter, Ranger or Paladin?Īlso when you mention HP tank (the 12 hit dice), how is that a DIS-advantage? I see that as a huge plus and forgot to mention that in my original "they are OP" post. There's a fight around lvl 5-6 where I would avoid using Reckless Attack, for example. The more powerful the enemy, the riskier this ability becomes. This means you will sustain more hits and crits, which means you might take more damage that your Rage can prevent. Their primary offensive ability, Reckless Attack, is incredibly powerful since it is advantage on demand, but you also give advantage to enemy melee attacks. A single round of crowd control can also be enough to knock the Barbarian out of Rage, which will drop their defenses long enough for the enemy to kill them.

Moving back on topic, Barbarians have a couple of notable weaknesses Ģ) They are susceptible to magical damage and crowd controlģ) Reckless Attack is a double edged swordīarbarians can take an astounding amount of physical damage, but they still take full magic and poison damage, which is what will separate a Barbarian from something like a Mountaineer, who will try to avoid taking damage to begin with and have more feats to pick up stuff like Wisdom saving throws. A Shadow Tamer can add as much as +8 damage on every attack under the right circumstances without using any resources.

Rangers also benefit from the homebrew to Favored Enemy, increasing their damage substantially. Marksman Rangers get a ranger attack as a bonus action, so they will play almost identically to a Fighter if they are an archer except that they have spells, giving them quite the edge in Solasta since Fighters don't have good archetypes for archery. I haven't had the chance to try lvl 11 and 12 yet, but the Shadow Tamer Ranger looks like it has a potentially great ability, adding another way to attack on the enemy's turn. Paladins get so many other abilities that they are always good. It is hard for Fighters and especially Rangers to keep up without their own stronger subclasses from tabletop. We even miss out on the 2 best ones from tabletop: Totem Warrior (better tanking) and Zealot (better damage). Rage and Reckless Attack make them relevant at all levels and that's before we get into subclasses. Barbarians are a very powerful melee class indeed.
