'''Unofficial Description:''' Barbarians are warriors from a culture outside the dominate culture. Barbarians have the reputation for being overly-muscled, uncouth, superstitious, quick-to-anger foreigners. In reality, this is just a misunderstanding of their cultural traditions and practices. It is true that most barbarians have developed their {{5e24|Strength}} to equal or best even the top soldiers. It is also true that they can focus primal power (often manifesting as rage) to perform neigh-superhuman acts of strength and intuition.
