Dire charge and battle howl: worth it?

[Hrafnar]

I can see how that could work well with enhanced power attack! Alright I'm gonna roll with the frenzied berserker and see how it goes. Thanks for all the pointers.

you want expose weakness your ab isn't that great :9

also there are gloves in hell that give 2- pricing/bludg/slashing which really means it extra 2 dr on top of barb dr

I have 20 barb/5 frenized/5 rager at 30

9 dr + 5 dr + 2 from the gloves = 16 dr which is pretty good

a cool idea i had for a barb would be

barb 20/frenz 5/ ranger 5 (also gives tumble)

this opens up to enchanced power attacks via feat for 2 specific monsters

enhanced favored power attack(triple dmg) + Frenized power attack + barb rage = run times

so if you wanted a elf who hates drow or something like that it might be cool


20 barb/5 frenized + really anything would be good

It's true. +10 Str while raging is gonna help with that somewhat. I already have an elf ranger on the go so trying something different. Thanks though Good to know about the gloves.

Ranger does not get tumble as a class skill.

After all those years every melee topic that started with something completely different ends with "get expose weakness". That's sad

Ha! So actually I'm going for Northlander Hewing, on advice from a different topic: exchanging my low AB attacks for max damage on my high AB ones.

Question : does charge improve KD check? Second question : can we give Half Orcs Improved Initiative instead of Blooded?
