“The Barbarian is still bouncing back between design and editing and needed more time before it was ready for prime time.

Sorry, it will be ready for Oct.”

It looks like they’ve editted the Barbarian playtest out of that Dragon table of contents. Now I’m sad!

And here I thought you guys had gotten an exclusive occasion to playtest the barbarian yourselves.

Still way cool!

My first 3.0 character was a Barbarian, and I was a bit disappointed that they were not putting them in as a Core class for 4e.

I will be very curious to see how they are done up in 4e. It was a fun 3x class, but got a bit flat at the higher levels, when you just had a bunch of rage and a lot of attacks ever turn.

With the powers system, it will be fun to see what other things they come up with besides just the Rage aspect. I would like to see something closer to the Iron Heroes Berserker.

I hope they go Striker. I also hope they go with Damage Resistance instead of high armor class. And in a perfect world, Barbarians in full rage should scare the party as much as the monsters.

Anyone know what role the Barbarian will be? Defender? Controller?

I concur…

I was going to express my excitement for the barbarian by claiming to have a raging something, but that would’ve been a crude pun…

Plus, that episode was on last night…I couldn’t help myself…

“I’ve got a raging clue.”
“My clue’s pointing this way.”
“Mmm…I’ve got such a big clue right now.”
“Ugh, now my clue’s pointing this way.”
“Ooo, let’s follow THAT clue!”

Needless to say, I’m psyched…
