I'm thinking Brian Blessed for Raseri.

Flash Gordan Brian Blessed?

Or Tarzan Clayton Brian blessed?

In reply to Raseri Frostguard (msg # 135):

Flash Gordon,of course.

Yeah I could see it.

In reply to Reizzok Stoneaxe (msg # 131):

Such a great miniseries, love his character so much in that one. Always recommend it and watch it like a movie.

In reply to Kroland 'Ironleg' Rocksinger (msg # 138):

Yeah, if you can afford the time to do that! Totally worth it.

I've heard rumor that like everything else there is a chance it will be re-made coming up soon.

Are we all supposed to be posting in all three IC threads?

I'm waiting for the DM to tell me that Korg is approved.

THAT was confusing me. I asked the DM in a PM as I wasn't sure and I didn't see anything posted.

From the way I see it, the IC threads were split so people have a chance to catch up with introductions, statements to the fearless leader etc while not slowing the story down. So from the view of the battle thread, the other happenings are already in the past but you can still fluff it out.

I do that a lot in my PbP games,too.

In reply to Reizzok Stoneaxe (msg # 139):

Not sure how I feel about that, not liking a lot of remakes and reboots these days

It makes sense to me to have multiple threads like that due to the sheer number of characters in one spot. Easy to lose a reply on just a single page if everyone posts. Will get much cleaner once everyone starts to group up and split up.

Edit: Also, if you mean a reboot of the Shogun miniseries, I really REALLY hope they fix all the inaccuracies in it. Like Memoirs of a Geisha as well.

Yeah sometimes they ruin things with remakes/reboots etc.

Which is the norm lately, as they have been remaking everything under the sun.

On another note. Is it worth dipping into Fighter or should I just stick to the Barb class.

Unless you're really keen on the capstones of a given class, taking a dip into Fighter is rarely ever a bad idea.

In reply to Raseri Frostguard (msg # 146):

I find a 4 to 8 level Dip in Fighter is absolutely worth it for a Barbarian.

I say 4 or 8 level as a fighter is worth it for the barbarian. Just for base features alone for second wind and action surge + anything from the archetype. Champion would make ideal if not maxed out in taking all physical skill proficiencies example and helps to get crits as a barbarian (or battlemaster for maneuvers). With 8 levels do note you get three ASI's than just two so that itself is good.

Albeit if you think can reach Str 20 and Con 20 by 20th level, the barbarian capstone is a pretty sweet deal.

However, I advise *avoid* multiclassing until you reach 5th level where martial types get a second attack. Or you multiclass as a fighter and stick to it until you reach 5th level and then consider continue barbarian. As the second attack is a big spike of damage to martial classes.

I was thinking of taking Champion. For like you said Millie that extra crit chance.

So either 4 or 8 levels. Hmm...

Yeah I like that Idea.

I haven't decided if it'll be Rune Knight for the extra Strength boost, and enchantment options, or Battlemaster for the extra damage and combat versatility.

I suppose its depends on what your feeling for the Character.

Is he the type to be more of a tactician while in the midst of battle, or is he more likely to prepare before hand then enter battle ready for whats to come?

The alternative is go also eldricth knight, albeit raging and spellcasting don't mix but you got options outside raging/combat (and also able buff yourself with a spell and then keep concentration as you go mad with fury).

Albeit rune knight is strong and thematic pic for dwarf combatant as runic magic is common among dwarves.

Also, samurai, albeit name indicates sort eastern influence but it can fit any 'lord devoted' warrior with sense of honor. Albeit getting an advantage to all attack rolls you kind of already get as barbarian (but without giving advantage to enemies + temp HP is a nice trick). Also makes you better at social situations in 7th level + extra mental save (and also bonus skill profiency in 3th).

You can't keep concentration when your raging. They nip that right in the bud, if you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

I entertained the thought of a Barbarian Monk, because that just sounded entertaining.

You only mix monk in if you're going to dip fighter for the unarmed fighting style so your fists become d8 weapons instead of d4, so your unarmed strikes don't suck. Cool monk stuff also tends to use your bonus action, so depending on your barb plans you may not be able to use most of your cool stuff anyway due to action economy.

Base Monk stuff tends to rely heavily on Unarmed Strikes in order to even trigger their effects at all, however.  So short of getting DM approval to activate them via a Monk Weapon or switching to a non-weapon combat focus, Monk combat perks don't mesh all that well with other martial types from my own experience.  Honestly, I've never understood why RAW Monk relies so heavily on unarmed combat when there's built-in rules for Monk Weapons as part of the class itself, let alone with the Way of the Kensei being a weapon specialist.

In reply to Braelig Stonehammer (msg # 156):

Yeah, if go frenzied berserker archetype which fits for big 2h swinger types, they get an extra attack via bonus action (and can get a third attack once reaching 5th).
