	Barbarian characters have been a staple of fantasy at least since [[Conan the Barbarian]] (ie. since the beginning) as "noble savages" (to a varying degree of "noble") who impress with their might and courage. Today, barbarians in fantasy retain this image of a savage warrior, clad in simple or primitive clothing that rely more on brute strength and chaotic violence than any precise fighting style or cunning.

	Barbarians in 5th edition D&D are largely unchanged from 3.5 barbarians, except their rages are better. While raging they get resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, damage bonuses and advantage on strength checks, including athletics for wrestling people down. Barbarians can add their Con bonus to AC if they don't wear armor, meaning that you can now be a truly manly berserker and charge into battle without a shirt on, all the while having the AC of a knight in full-plate as enemy blades bounce off your manly abs (just don't ask where this effect is actually coming from). Their rage only applies to melee attacks now, though, so bows are less viable than previous editions. Barbarians have the easiest advantage generators in the whole game with Reckless Attack, which makes them the best class for great weapon master feat, offsetting that -5 to hit for massive massive damage.

	That's right, every two levels your barbarian bro learns a new way that getting ''really fucking angry'' can give him superpowers. These powers range from the useful (making combat maneuvers in place of regular attacks) to the impractically awesome (beating an opponent with another opponent) to the outright supernatural (sprouting claws and horns before gaining a pounce attack) to the ''hilarious'' (gaining big bonuses on swim checks)... That last one makes sense ''mechanically'' (rage buff strength, after all, and strength is the stat used in swim tests), but the mental image is never not funny. ("''FUCK YOU WATER! WRAAAAAAAAGH!''")		That's right, every two levels your barbarian bro learns a new way that getting ''really fucking angry'' can give him superpowers.

WRAAAAAAAAGH!''")

	The most powerful of those abilities can be used once per rage only, which usually means you can either use them once per combat, or have to cancel out your rage and fight without almost all of your abilities while also being fatigued. But, if you manage to somehow get immune to fatigue, you can "rage-cycle" every turn and use those powerful abilities once per round. In practice, it means going berserk, calming down for a few moments after a couple of seconds, and then turning nuts again, which looks ridiculous, stupid and outright cheesy. This usually involves some multiclassing, but then Paizo released this belt called Cord of Stubborn Resolve, which makes you take a tiny bit of non-lethal damage instead of getting fatigued, which both lets you rage-cycle, ~~save~~ your rounds of rage when you can't smash stuff in combat, and protects you from getting powered down by enforced fatigue. It's still pretty cheesy, but also not even close to some stuff casters are able to do.

	It's not necessarily top-tier, though it may be the best among its fellow beatstick classes, and it's certainly fun as hell and much more customizable than before. It's still tier 4, but the skill compression and rage powers make them more versatile. Lost a lot of its draw in 2014 when the [[Bloodrager]] class was released. Why play a guy who fights by getting angry when you can play a guy who fights by getting angry, grows claws, wings, and fangs when he gets angry, and can cast spells like a weak sorcerer? Shoot, with the "this really shouldn't exist" Primalist archetype, you can even get enough rage powers to make it practically obsolete (though practically everyone knows this to be utterly fucking cheese and thus refrain from using it). The only draws left are basically the few archetypes that can do things it can't, like the Invulnerable Rager for Damage Reduction shenanigans. Also the Bloodrager's rage is classed as a supernatural(Su) ability and so is affected by anti-magic. Whether it some how stops him being angry all together or just cancels the magical effects is down the GM. The PF Barbarian is also the foundation for [[Wrassle Baba]], the D&D equivalent of Brock Lesnar.
