Armored Hulk - Suggestion for new Barbarian Path

Post by Chaosrook »

Greetings all, I wanted to make a suggestion for a new barbarian path; the Armored Hulk. Where the normal barbarian moves quickly through life bringing rage fueled destruction; the Armored Hulk brings unbridled determination and unstoppable fury. The Armored Hulk is a Heavy armored barbarian which focuses on defense instead of offense to un-relentlessly pursue and defeat there enemies but this ain't no Earth-kin Defender.

Provide heavy armor proficiency at level 1.

Replace Rage with "Indomitable Stance" (Same as Defensive stance). They are relentless and will not loose focus on their goal.

Replace uncanny dodge(s) with "Armored Swiftness" (Same as Rogues ability Lightly Armored but for Heavy armor). They live and train in their heavy armor to such a degree as to have almost unnatural stamina and grace in their full plate.

Replace the barbarians passive damage bonus(s) with "Resilience of Steel" Will saves Increase for mind-altering and fear, as again they are relentless. (similar to how normal rage gives will bonuses and also Cavaliers Fearless ability)

They should also get, armor vigil (3) & (10) as sleeping in their armor is second nature and would not fatigue them with the slightest discomfort.

Perhaps sprinkle in a few +1s to armor, shield, helm and such and we have ourselves a relentless juggernaut of Armored Hulk.

This is stepping too much on the toes of fighter and earthkin defender. Denied.
