Barbarian, Neverwinter Nights 1, NWN 1

Barbarian NWN

Barbarian is a NWN class in BioWare's cRPG of 2002, Neverwinter Nights 1.

cf. Barbarian PC Games.

Barbarian Description

Barbarians are brave, even reckless warriors, and their great strength and heartiness makes them well suited for adventure. Barbarians scornfully reject the fighter traditions of arms training and discipline, instead tapping into a powerful rage that makes them stronger, tougher, and better able to withstand attacks. They only have the energy for a few such displays per day, but it is usually sufficient. Constant exposure to danger also gives barbarians a sort of "sixth sense," a preternatural ability to sense danger and dodge attacks, and their running stamina is legendary.

cf. Barbarian Build NWN.

Note that Daelan is a Barbarian.
