ADDITIONS/ERRATA:
-Yes I knew while recording that Animal Instinct's "you cannot use weapons" is only in effect while raging. What is more restrictive is that you simply cannot use weapons while raging, PERIOD. Now leave me alone so I can get back to work! >:(
-The Animal Instinct no longer gives the deer antler and frog tongue attacks extra reach at Level 7.

It’s kind of surreal we’re so excited by - -1 AC. But it’s true, less crittable is huge.

[duncbot]

Personally I like the video documenting changes to be separate from "how to play" the class, otherwise it gets muddled like the Alchemist video.

Keep em coming but don't burn yourself out!

[Kiaulen]

I like that intimidation feat. Demoralize is my favorite third action. And getting the extra skill feats for free is great.

Barbarian has been one of my favorites in any system I play where they exist. I was SHOCKED at how brittle they were before the Remaster. Even after taking the time to build what I thought was a broken Great Gnoll Giant Instinct barbarian, he got absolutely schooled by super low level skeletons. I was not mad at this, but I was surprised.

We don't rush you, cook the videos as much as you want, 10 minutes videos on such a cool theme is too little,
GIVE ME SOMETHING
Love you, Ronald Daddy

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS CHANNEL AND OUTSIDE OF IT!!~

[agentamls]

One thing that I love about the new rage is that it no longer REQUIRES enemies! Lasting until the encounter ends, it now allows you to use your raging abilities in non-combat encounters as well!

we all were expecting the changes to oracle, champion and alchemist, but the buffs to barbarian and swashbuckler took me totally by surprise, and I love them

The -1 AC was the main reason I never wanted to play a Barbarian. They seemed somewhat squishy, or at least not especially tanky to me. Sure, you could always go for a shield, but that´s not really the angle of a Barbarian now, is it? But having STR as your main attribute while also wanting to improve the three important stats (DEX, CON, WIS) made Barbarians somewhat MAD. The -1 AC really hurt their beefiness, as it not only meant getting hit more often, but also (more importantly imo!) getting crit more often. The few times I played a barbarian I did not feel tankier than, let´s say, a monk or a fighter. And characters specialized to be beefy with shield and heavy armor often out-tanked the Barbarian by a fair amount.

Fury barbarians getting a single total extra point of rage damage compared to their current version is funny to me. (Not good or bad, just funny)

[TheLrdfSpace]

I am annoyed that they removed the AC penalty from rage, since it's such an iconic part of the barbarian from earlier editions.

I wish they did something else to improve his survivability, like giving substantially more temp hp, rather than removing the ac penalty.

[daniellemurnett]

I'm vary happy about the Barbarian changes. It was my favorite class in D&D 5e but it just didn't vibe with me in the original printing of Pathfinder 2. Overall this is more in line with what I liked about barb so I'm very excited for PC2!

[michaelcharlton]

My greatest nitpick for the barbarian has always been that the bonus damage from rage is reduced on weapons with the agile trait. It makes no sense to me that they can't hit as hard just because the weapon is capable of being wielded that way.

A favorite fix has been to allow barbarians to ignore the agile trait on a weapon if they attack while raging. Obviously they don't get the standard agile benefits in that case either.

[javiernovoa]

Can't wait to rebuild my 6th level PFS barbarian into this. I took Fury and more damage?! Hell yes!
R.I.P. Deny Advantage, you'll be missed

[peikonpoika]

willingly means you do not roll save against it even if you could, unwillingly means you will roll a save against beneficial spell

[legendarydigitize]

I only just saw that bit even if i read the entry
You can indeed rage whenever you want now, cooldown doesnt exist
You are only unable to get temp hp is the drawback

[numimio]

Kinda sad the AC penalty is gone because that was a really cool way to portray the barbarian was losing their sense of preservation but it is better this way!
When I had a barbarian player they just never wanted to rage.

Also I think Animal Instinct's anathema is for the better.
Players who wanted to do the animal stuff are gonna want to use their animal stuff, and it'd be a little awkward to tell them "hey man you're better off just using your weapon"

[AgentForest]

I'm sad that the Inventor Remaster didn't give the Dedication access to Overdrive. Barbarians still get Rage and don't have to roll a skill check to do it. There was nothing broken about letting someone who dips into Inventor have their nerd rage.

[KalaamNozalys]

I really wish they could do a little pass on some other classes like Magus and all x)
