On low levels I would recommending only recklessly attacking when facing creatures without multi attack. If the action economy is in your disadvantage it can very quickly turn nasty, but as you increase in hitpoints giving the enemies advantage to hit you is a great way to convince your DM to actually attack you which means they aren't hitting your weaker comrades. The reason I know this I did reckless attack against a night hag and she utterly gutted me because she has multiattack and I didn't.

funny thing is both of travis' characters helped to inspire one of my favorite characters to build ever. Gan'on'Venom a Tiefling Barbarian/Warlock who actually thinks before letting his rage consume him meaning it's not only his barbaric rampages you have to fear but his cunning traps. There was one encounter where he was alone with a gang of pirates who had attacked one of the party members. The pirates were screaming out to attack before he could rage to which he smiled. "Rage? Oh no no no dear boys and girls I think we can go a little darker after all you hurt my friend...rage would be too quick...I'd like to savor this hunt..." before snapping his fingers casting darkness over the area. He then proceeded to take his time slaughtering the lot of them letting their screams echo in the darkness for dramatic effect. All they could do is cower and stumble blindly while he picked them off one by one as he had Devil's Sight allowing him to see in magical darkness clearly up to 120 ft.

Plus the terror of running into a Barbarian that can think. He's much more complex than your generic barbarian or warlock and has actually used words to end conflicts as well. Also since I took path of the storm herald on barbarian he is resistant to lightning damage and can breath underwater with a 30ft swim speed. Still waiting for a chance to use it for an ambush scenario cause I want him to make creepy whispers with Thamaturgy and then just rise from the water to cleave some poor shmuck in two that or grab people from the water and rage activating my storm aura (I know it wouldn't increase the damage but the imagery is just too beautiful to ignore >=D )

I used to have fun with the character before Xanathar's Guide came out and there were UA invocations. Namely: Claw of Acamar (before they scrapped the idea of patron-locked invocation, which I personally think were very cool). Claw of Acamar is a 1h flail with reach property (which in itself is awesome as hell) and smiting with it reduces the target's speed to 0 (but doesn't knockdown like the today's smite does). With that invocation in mind I went for a Great Old One warlock and Totem barbarian with Bear totem at 3rd level, just reflavoured to be an Umberhulk instead of a bear, since my character was an escaped slave of Illithids, and spent much of his life in Underdark. Since we were playing up until 20th lvl, I ended up as 15 warlock / 5 barbarian, using the pact flail and a magical shield + unarmored defense gave me quite a high AC, resistance to all damage (all except psychic from bear, and psychic from great old one) with some bursting potential due to smites and rage. Granted, at the highest levels my DM rolled a Rod of Absorbtion in the loot (look it up - amazing for Warlocks for their smites), and indulged me by creating a circlet that allowed me to concentrate on (any) spell and cast cantrips (and only cantrips) while raging, which was cool.

Grog is one of those characters I will remember on my deathbed (hopefully) many many years from now. Such a memorable and delightful character.

Travis is by far my favourite voice in the cast. he is just such a fucking delight to listen to.

"WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS APPLY MORE GREATAXE!" I'm so sad that wasn't said in Grog's voice

Remember that you only get so many rages per day so don't waste them on peons early on. Also Tavern Brawler let's you bump up your unarmed attacks for those unscripted battles in places that make you check your weapons at the door. Dex is also a good stat to keep high because it will also make you harder to hit

This is such a quick, and simple build, I see it as a great base to build something more interesting on. Because you don't have to invest much in Game Mechanics to make it effective, you can then focus on affectations, and other nifty things to make it more interesting. In games where Role Play>Roll Play. It's always handy to have a Barbarian in the party, but that doesn't mean he has to be a Boring one. Even Conan had a rich backstory.

Polearms are also pretty fun on a barbarian, especially with the Polearm Master feat. Put a blade on the bottom of that thing plus a 10ft range and get ready to slice and dice all the things!

"Also ale...." Ahhhh classic throwback

It seems like the constant play for Barbarians is, "Fuck it why not?"

Btw here is a quick tip for Berserker Barbarians want to always be hitting things? Go with Mageslayer and Sentinel feats. They swing at you, you hit em. They cast a spell you hit em. They try to bounce you hit em, they dare to attack anyone besides you?! You hit em.

Duck! The best totem animal

My firbolg totem barbarian is a big softie who only rages if his friends are hurt or if he sees tree-abuse. He'd never been indoors before he met the party and is a massive lightweight.

TRAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved this episode! Funny and informative :) Sam's jingle is stuck in my head once again lol

Wow, that seemed like a quick one. Building a barbarian seems to be pretty straightforward. I want to play one.

I wish the cast of critical role would do a vox machina themed stretch goal next time they fundraise, like VM as old people doing one last adventure together or a chat show completely in character.

I just love Travis so much. Such a good human being.

Watching today, As I start playing my new Goliath Barbarian, for last minute guidance and inspiration

Im whole-heartedly suprised there was no mention as to the importantce of Dexterity in a Barbarians build. More AC with their unarmored defence, better initiative, having better reflex saves against at least 60% of offensive magics. Never forget my DnD brothers that you can make an incredibly potent dex build barbarian. Let that advantage on strength checks whilst raging be your bonus to strength and enjoy smacking away at your enemies. (Yes I understand strength also has it's uses and playing a dex build severely limits your weapon options. But Dexterity in 5e is as fundamentally important to every class as Constitution is)

I'm low-key in love with Travis.

This has been the best video in the series so far. Also ale.

THIS IS THE BEST!!!!! Travis makes playing the barbarian seem like the best thing ever XD

Absolutely the best one yet!

And remember, you would like to rage. Gold.

Barbarians: Apply Great axe directly to problem, repeat if needed

I feel like "Because fuck it," is/was Grog's life motto. XD

I made a Kobold Barbarian who used to be cowardly but when a thief stole from his colony and killed a fellow guard he trained with totem warriors. The spirit of the Elk helps him fight and when the thief tried to come back after one rage attack the thief scrambled to his feet and ran away.
