Rescued Kelen Chambliss stared in shock at the pale pink screen above her head. After weeks of fighting, struggling, and barely surviving on this half world, rescue had finally arrived. I think you are seriously undervaluing Dexterity as an ability and overvaluing strength. For example, using the standard array with your suggested abilities your strength Barbarian would wield a Greataxe, have a Str of 17 (+2 from Race), Dex 12, Con 14 for an AC of 13, a to-hit of +5 and damage of 1D12+5 (While raging).

It is a history of migrants and migrations, of colonizers and colonized, of households and servitude and slavery, and of the freedom all craved and some found.
Above all it is a history of the law that framed the entire process. Freedom Bound tells how colonies were planted in occupied territories, how they were populated with migrants - free and unfree - to do the work of colonizing and how the newcomers secured possession. It tells of the new civic lives that seemed possible in new commonwealths and of the constraints that kept many from enjoying them. It follows the story long past the end of the eighteenth century until the American Civil War, when - just for a moment - it seemed that freedom might finally be unbound.
Too much reading. Don’t get me started. No, the best fantasy characters, whether in fiction, games, or even real life, are covered in animal skins, have really high constitution scores, are savage brutes, and preferably wield a humongous axe (though we’re flexible on that last one).Collected here are the 11 best barbarians of all time.
If you can think of other barbarians, that’s great, but they’re nowhere near as good as these barbarians. These are the best barbarians. AttilaNot all barbarians are fictional. To wit: Attila the Hun.
After killing his older brother and taking control of the Hunnic Empire, Attila set about more or less wrecking the Eastern, then Western, Roman Empires for almost two decades. Naturally, both sets of Romans tried to paint Attila as some kind of brutal monster — and I mean, he kind of was — but he was also a total badass who held the decadent, decaying Roman Empires for ransom so that he could keep riding around on his horse wrecking shop. Total barbarian move.LoboSome people might say that a barbarian can’t ride a motorcycle, that the only steed a barbarian should sit astride is a horse, or possibly some kind of oversized goat (see the Grokla entry below). There’s a name for that kind of person though: dork. Lobo is a barbarian if I’ve ever seen one, and I’ve seen a ton of barbarians. Plus, check out these barbarian bonafides: massive arms, long hair, blades covered in blood, killed his entire race, drawn by Simon Bisley. If you think that Lobo isn’t a barbarian just because he’s from another planet and rides a space motorcycle, you reveal yourself to be beholden to outdated notions of barbarianism.
You also reveal yourself to be, as aforementioned, a big ol’ dork. Aric of DaciaAric of Dacia is fictional, but he’s the nephew of a real-life Visigoth barbarian named Alaric, who achieved the barbarian dream of sacking Rome in 410.
Alaric was a total badass, and would probably earn himself a spot on this list if not for his even more badass nephew. So, what does Aric have that Alaric doesn’t? A suit of alien space armor, that’s what. Aric wears the X-O Manowar armor in the appropriately named X-O Manowar comic, and he’s basically Iron Man, but instead of being a drunk with a stupid mustache, he’s a time-traveling barbarian. Genghis KhanReady for another real-life, historical barbarian?
Well too bad, because Genghis Khan is coming at you, just like he came at practically all of the (at the time) known world, and even some of the unknown world back in the 13th century. He’s coming at you on a horse, with a bow and a horde of Mongols wearing unwashed clothing made from the skins of hundreds of field mice, willing to murder absolutely everyone in your village. But you know, who wasn’t murdering entire villages of their rivals back in the 13th century? He was really no more murderous and bloodthirsty than any other wild, steppe-born warlord of his era, and that’s how we should judge him. The BarbarianIf you didn’t know he was a wrestler in 1980s WWF, the Barbarian’s story would sound like the greatest fantasy epic of all time. As a teenager, Sione Havea Vailahi was sent by his king to learn an exotic martial art in a far away land. He then took his knowledge to an even further away land, where he added new techniques to his arsenal.
With this knowledge, he became a successful prizefighter known for his massive physique, painted face, and the antlers he wore sometimes.The WarlordWrestling fans might see “The Warlord” immediately after “The Barbarian” and start getting worried. But calm down! There’s absolutely no need for alarm, because the Warlord I’m talking about is a DC Comics character.
Travis Morgan actually started off as a Vietnam veteran and pilot, which earns him bonus nurture-not-nature points. After finding himself in the savage world of Skartaris, Morgan went all in on the barbarian thing, becoming the Warlord and donning a helmet so rad that it gives Thor wing envy. Best of all, Skartaris is a fantasy setting that makes use of the absolute best bonkers conspiracy theory: the Hollow Earth hypothesis.
Sorry, Lizard People. ThundarrBig boots? Fur vest and loincloth? Terrible haircut? Double check. Thundarr might look like a classic barbarian, but here’s the thing: that crazy world he inhabits, the one full of unimaginable savagery and arcane magicks, is not in the distant past — it’s in the near future! Plus, comics legends like Jack Kirby, Alex Toth, and Steve Gerber worked on the show, which gives it its awesome aesthetic.
And as if you needed any other proof of how rad Thundarr is, the dude carries a “Sunsword,” which is basically a lightsaber, except better because it’s held by a guy who actually works out. GroklaGrokla isn’t as well-known as the other barbarians on this list and that’s a shame. She is the beautiful and powerful half-orc leader of “Grokla and the Geeks,” a group of adventurers whose acts of derring-do are well-known all up and down the Sword Coast.

She’s not just gorgeous though, she’s also a monster. Look at these stats: STR 17 (19 with a pair of Gauntlets of Ogre Power), DEX 15, CON 16, CHA 10. Don’t worry about her INT and WIS scores — they aren’t important. What is important is that she once did 19 points of damage just by grappling a guy and kneeing him in the grapefruits, and she basically looks like NXT’s Dana Brooke, but with green skin and about a foot taller. She also has a pet goat named William J Goat.Barbarians: breaking hearts, breaking faces, breaking records. Whether in comics, film, prose, or my weekly Dungeons & Dragons game, barbarians are the absolute best fantasy character type and these are the best examples of that esteemed categorization.
That said, bards are pretty rad too. So:. Barbarians. Bards. Everything elseDone.
