    Hey. I got a question you can probably answer. I’m thinking about playing my first game of D&D and I want to create a character that is both useful and hilarious. I was thinking something like a barbarian/thief gnome. Would that work? And if it does is there anything I could do to enhance it? Considering that it’s a gnome.

    I took Path of Beast on a simichybrid and a multiclass into rogue to get around this. Take acid spit attack as one of the mutations so you always have a ranged attack to continue proccing rage, and Path of the Beast gives you an extra 10 feet of movement speed per round plus half your total movement speed when you rage, and Cunning Action let's you dash as a bonus action so you don't waste a whole turn doing nothing when you could be smacking people around. Flying enemy? No problem just use your lvl 6 Beast barb ability to add an athletics check to your jump distance and make an insane jump to grapple the enemy, which you have advantage on thanks to Beast subclass. Enemy gets grappled 9 times our of ten and plummets to the ground. You both take damage but they always take more than you. Then proceed to slaughter. Rinse, repeat. Enjoy!

What the fell handed feat does is give you a +1 to hit with axes and hammers, and if you attack with advantage and the lower of the two damage dice hit you knock enemies prone. The feat also does other stuff, but those are the parts which really matter.

    Here's an alternative solution to dealing with flying enemies, jumping. A path of the Beast barbarian with the Jumping option of their Bestial Soul feature, with advantage on strength checks you can get some huge athletics skill rolls and jump surprisingly high, you just need to get in close enough to make one of your attacks, but rather then attacking you use it to grapple. Again with advantage on your athletics checks and high strength there are very few things you won't be able to grapple. Grapple reduces a creature's movement speed to 0, a flying creature with 0 speed can't fly anymore and they begin to fall. Sure you might take some fall damage as well when you both hit the ground, but who cares, you're raging. Even if the creature can hover and doesn't fall, you're still grabbing on tight so you can stay in the grapple and keep hitting them with your claws. I also did this with a Rabbitfolk from the fey creatures UA (though that should soon become an official option) for that extra hop of jump distance. If you wanna get REALLY nasty take a few levels of rogue, like suggested here, and take expertise in athletics. At that point you can wrestle dragons to the floor.

    Damage resistance doesn't stack. Tieflings resist fire and bear totem rage resists fire, you will still only receive 1/2 damage, not a 1/4.

    Another good tip is to take the readied action outside of combat specifically for the dash action because barbarians need to be up close and personal with whatever their fighting, and taking the dash action before anyone even rolls initiative means that the barbarian can run right up to whatever he wants to stick his axe in then still have their movement on their own turn making it great for gap closing.

    very good tips here! I'm playing a barb myself right now, who's whole stick is that he's a disgruntled town guard who really just wants to fing die but won't (he's a zelot because Ilmater thinks he'll find his way) and he's got a combination of polearm master (his trusty halberd is his main weapon) and tavern brawler (he's all about fighting dirty and going for nutshots and just smacking people with barstools, just last session i beat a wizard to death with his own spellbook) so what i like to do is rage, use great weapon master to be a threat to protect my squishies and then i smack with the halbard, move in, punch and do a bonus action grapple with advantage. alot of the time I have trouble keeping rage after that so fing lighting myself on fire is the perfect tip, depending on how the DM rules it it might even hurt whoever I'm grappling XD

    One fun trick about Barbarians is that they're possibly the best class for grappling, thanks to their high HP, getting advantage on Strength checks while raging, and an extra attack to get multiple attempts or to make sure you can maintain your rage. You do have to build around it a bit - 2-handed weapons aren't great for grappling - but it can be real handy, especially against more mobile enemies. For extra spice, multiclass into rogue for expertise in Athletics, giving you a very difficult to contest grapple.

    I am mostly sure Halberds are applicable to each of the feats mentioned. There is also the tough feat which is +2 hp per level. If you rolled solid stats taking all of these could give your DM a healthy challenge for balancing future encounters, keep in mind it wouldn't be possible until 12 at the earliest and an average of 16

Like, Imagine seeing a man whose already built like a tank and ferocious and stuff; proceed to light himself in fire and charge toward you like a bull on crack, screaming his head off. I think that is a "DM have them make a Wisdom Saving Throw at disadvantage." Moment...
