Editing Barbarian (section)

===2nd Edition===
Raging, being the core feature of the class, pretty much behaves the same as Unleashed, granting THP and extra damage, but taking -1 to AC and losing access to certain actions that require concentration. Notably, Rage is no longer restricted to any number of times a day, but you instead just rage for a full minute before falling out of it and then being unable rage again for another minute. Of course, a majority of the class feats focus on adding new abilities when raging, almost all of them being focused on combat.

Most significant among the changes to the class is the fact that they now have subclasses called "Instincts". They're pretty much last edition's Totems, granting a Barbarian special powers when they rage, but for whatever reason, they also have their own "anathema" - because Paizo couldn't let [[Paladin]]s be the only ones who fall. That said, this has a slightly less awful penalties, only stripping powers related to the Instinct for breaking the anathema for a day.

* '''Animal Instinct''' grants the Barbarian special unarmed attacks based on a certain animal, with later feats granting natural armor and shapeshifting. This is absolutely necessary, as their anathema forbids them from using any weapons. If you're not raging, you'd better consider multiclassing in something like [[Monk]] so you're not hosed when fighting.
* '''Dragon Instinct''' makes the Barbarian's attacks deal elemental damage when they rage and eventually develop resistance to that damage, depending on what dragon they descend from. Notably, the feats tied to this instinct give special powers like flight, breath weapons, and even literal transformation. Not only is refusing a challenge considered anathema, but there's a second one depending on whether you worship your dragon (in which case refusing their orders is considered bad) or hate them (in which case you need to beat any dragons of that type). 
* '''Fury Instinct''' represents your basic vanilla Barbarian who just gets real mad without superpowers. In place of any weird powers, they get an extra class feat and develop resistance to any weapon damage, but not to anything besides that.
* '''Giant Instinct''' lets a Barbarian pick up an oversized weapon, though its exclusive feats let the Barbarian grow big too. Fighting with this weapon lets them deal extra damage when raging, but they suffer the Clumsy condition while using the massive thing. Refusing any personal challenge is considered anathema.
* '''Spirit Instinct''' makes the Barbarian spooky and deal either positive or negative damage, though most significant is that they get Ghost Touch built in so they can hurt ghosts. Their anathema is disrespecting the dead, though any unruly spirits and undead don't count.
* '''Superstition Instinct''' (from ''APG'') gives a particular disdain for magic and thus Barbarians gain a bonus to saves against spells as well as dealing bonus damage against casters. Their anathema forbids them from accepting any sort of magic assistance, though potions and magic items that don't cast are still fair game. Notably, this lack of any healing spells means that they'll need to rely on their Rage's ability to recover HP instead of just gaining THP.
