Barbarian - Class Tree
Barbarian (Playable in Starter Set)
Fierce and relentless hunters who draw power from primal instinct and raw physical dominance, Barbarians trade refinement for devastation, excelling in brutal melee combat across every environment from frozen mountain peaks to untamed wild plains, where rage is a resource and restraint is a weakness.

‡ Abilities from their respective trees are summarized below. Ability Cards are released with Module and their expansions, supporting various Character Levels, and list the DIFS for any check an Ability requires. Refer pg. 6 for more on Ability Cards.
Note: Main Class baseline stats, Armament requirements and thresholds, and other Class features change depending on the Classes Tier, Path or Branch as noted in each respective Sub-Class.
Alignment: Alignments range from Lawful, Moral, Ambivalent, Amoral and Evil, and are Path and Branch Dependent.
To use the Abilities of this Path or Branch, you must fall within the Alignment's Spectrum. To devote to the Path's Higher Power you must fall exactly at that Alignment (see Alignment, Basic Rules pg. 2).
Higher Power: Path Dependent (see Path below)
Barbarian's Paths individually restrict by alignment from LVL 4 on, see each Path above for its specific Alignment.
To learn a Path's Abilities, or any of its three Branches', your own alignment need only sit inside this Class's Spectrum.
To draw a Path's Higher Power bonus you must hold that Path's exact base Alignment, and that same base is what its three Branches require (see Alignment, pg. 2).
