Setting:Hail and Kill/Barbarian

Barbarian [150]

You are a fearsome berserker of the Blackened clans, or a self-reliant raider of the Wastelands. Perhaps you hail from the beast-ridden lands of the Helgrad Highlands. The traditional tattoos of your people make your body and mind stronger than steel. You are also taught the 'Strengthening Shout', a guttural scream that amplifies your already fearsome strength.
