this since you’re not really suited to do anything about whatever you find out, but it can be a load off of spellcasters who learn spells permanently if they’re the only casters in your party. As someone who has previously really only dealt damage at range (I have a fondness for Rangers and the occasional Sorcerer), just charging in and swinging an axe around has been pretty great. In most systems you have orthodox/unorthodox methods, but I’ve never seen one where Qi is the standard and then Dao/Path based is viewed as heretical! Apart from the standard "young master" tropes, it was nice to see that not every cultivator was a dickweed.

As a defense barbarian, you may wish to use a shield and a one-handed weapon to improve your AC, and Shield Master will help you make the most of that tool. He uses emotions as a source of power, doesn’t matter if they are his or others, and can sense them which is a good concept.

Path of the Giant offers numerous tactical options which expand the Barbarian’s capabilities beyond dealing and enduring damage: larger size imrpoves your ability to block space on the battlefield, Elemental Cleaver allows you to bypass resistance to weapon damage without a magic weapon as well as providing the Barbarian’s first meaningful ranged damage option, and Mighty Impel allows you to control the battlefield by throwing both friends and foes to wherever you want them to be, potentially while dealing a great deal of falling damage.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this, Rick has managed to weave all the best bits of cultivation novels into one story with a progression system that fits well with the broader conflict.

Much like the Wild Magic Sorcerer, the Path of Wild Magic Barbarian is a choice for players who enjoy some chaos and unpredictability in their game. Helives in Seattle, Washington with his partner Hannah and two wilderness defenders, Mei and Marzipan. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood, where anger for anger's sake is king.

While many builds can achieve this AC easier or faster, they also don't have a d12 hit die nor the ability to reduce nearly all damage to half, making Dex a far more viable defense stat than Strength. Unarmored Defense:This ability allows you to live out the classic fantasy of the bare-chested, Conan-style barbarian, but it essentially boils down to just giving you some free armor.General disclaimer: I want to be clear in that I do not factor cost into any review and as such, this is simply a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.
