Why cant Berserkers and Barbarians wear Armor?
>>96650591Because they get a bonus to their AC went they don't. Duh.
>>96650591They can? They're proficient with medium armorDo you even play fucking games?
>>96650604>slop OPTake a wild guess.
>>96650591Play DnDetarded games, win DnDetarded prizes.
>>96650591Depends on what system, which is?
>>96650863Yes, you are retarded nogames who knows nothing.

>>96650591The real question is why the fuck Barbarians are pigeonholed as berserkers? Whenever I see a Barbarian class and everything about it is centered around a rage mechanic, I never choose that fucking trash. Rather just play a fighter and limit my armor choices while also not have "common" as a language.
>>96650591Because "muh fantasy is loincloth and bikini chainmails"
>>96650591Because 11th century pop culture had Berserkers being immune to Blade, Fire and Point and hundreds of years later nothing Scares Italians like dipping yourself in blue paint and running at them naked.
>>96650591Stay in your fucking ghetto.
>>96650591> Can'tFalse> Don't Entirely different question with a variety of answers, but mostly boil down to "it's cool and I like it that way"
>>96650591they're poor and uncivilized, they can't afford proper armour. that's why they're barbarians. that and their terrible sounding language.
>>96650863Except D&D literally lets barbarians wear light or medium armor and still use shields to benefit from their Unarmored Defense, so you're a retarded nogames who needs to fuck off back to xitter/pol/.
>>96653917Castles & Crusades has a more interesting approach, where the Barbarian is more akin to a wild mountain man and all the knowledge that entails.
>>96650591Why does she look likes she's made from some sort of donut glaze/cake fondant? Red Sonja is great but this just looks weird
>>96653917Because it gives them a niche unique to Fighter as a class. It's simple game design. Also, nobody cares about your autism of ERM AKSHUALLY BARBARIANS WERE JUST NON-ROMANS or whatever, fuck off and stop trying to water down the genre of fantasy to a bunch of samey gray slop.
>>96654810It's AI-slop.
>>96655091It's simple game design to just miss Conan? It's simple game design to make a class and just miss what it's supposed to be portraying?>water down the genre of fantasy to a bunch of samey gray slop.Quite literally, barbarians turned slop when they became the rage monster. Now the only barbarian to play is the hulk and different variations of hulking meat. 2nd ed at least had different kinds of barbarians. From endurance runners to berserkers.What about a Harald Hardrada Character? How about we take it western and make someone reminiscent of Geronomo?
>>96655159>Quite literally, barbarians turned slop when they became the rage monsterNo, they gained a proper identity, because Conan doesn't have one. He's just generic fantasy adventure warrior guy. He's THE Generic fantasy adventure warrior guy.>Harald HardradaNobody knows who that is and it shows you're just a hipster faggot.>GeronomoDruid.
>>96650591What game?
>>96650591https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaesatae
>>96653917Not in Dungeon Fantasy RPG. Barbarians there are focused on being a strong dude who is good at outdoors adventurers.
>>96655201Conan's identity is as a AD&D fighter. He's intelligent, charismatic, practical, an expert disciplined combatant, and driven by profit or pussy. People who came into D&D in the false modern 3e era don't recognize this obvious fact because fighters can't talk, have no skills, lead no one, and can't even fight.
