Shifter Barbarian[edit]

Although all Shifters can manifest signs of their lycanthropic ancestors, the Shifter Barbarian understands this intimate connection between man and beast far better than most other classes, perhaps even moreso than the vaunted Druid.

Making a Shifter[edit]

Honestly, the general concept for making a Shifter Barbarian does not differ greatly from a normal Barbarian

Abilities: As with a Barbarian, strength and constitution are your most important attributes. Your secondary scores are Dexterity and Wisdom.

Races: Shifter Only.

Alignment: Any non-lawful.

Table: The Shifter Barbarian

Hit Die: d12

Class Skills (4 + Int modifier per level)
This Class Shares it's class skills with the Barbarian, but adds balance to the list.

Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Shifter Barbarian.

Bonus Shifter Feat: At level 3 and every three levels after that, the Shifter Barbarian gains an extra feat, so long as he meets the pre-requisites. A Barbarian who chooses this ability does not gain Trap Sense. The feat selected must either be a Shifter Feat, or a Rage Feat.

DR X/Silver and Magic: At the indicated levels, the Shifter Barbarian gains DR that can be bypassed by weapons that are both Silver and Magical. This damage reduction explicitly stacks with the damage reduction from Shifter Defense and Greater Shifter Defense (The DR from these feats becomes 2/Silver and Magic and 4/Silver and Magic, respectively). A Shifter Barbarian who chooses this ability does not gain the DR X/- that a Barbarian normally gains.
