These fierce warriors channel their rage into devastating combat prowess, relying on sheer strength and survival instincts rather than refined tactics or magic. We’ll explore their evolution throughout D&D editions, their real-world inspirations—from Norse berserkers to legendary warriors—and how different subclasses bring unique flavors to this unstoppable force. Whether you’re drawn to the ancestral wisdom of the Totem Warrior, the elemental chaos of the Storm Herald, or the pure, unrelenting rage of the Berserker, this episode will give you everything you need to know about playing (or facing) a Barbarian. Get ready to rage!
