Ii) Fighters other than Second Wind do not seem to have many survival tricks on their sleeves for being on the front line, while Barbs gain resistances with Bear totem. I won't have chance to get really further than 10 levels) I) I don't like very much any of the offered Martial Archetypes of the class (maybe Battlemaster is a bit better, but i 'm not really impressed with the Maneuvers in general and its 7th level ability looks really situational.

Plus they are more short rest based, so their feats will be used theoretically more often. I highly doubt if we will have often that luxury going through this campaign.įighters offer the sweet Second Wind and a Fighting Style from early on, and Action Surge looks pretty important for early levels plus the frequent ASIs and the Extra Attacks.

I) Barb skill tree lacks Extra Attacks and Ability Score Improvements (comparing to Fighter). Thematically, Barb is more appealing & i am hugely attracted to Rages, Unarmored Defenceand Reckless Attack special feats, and Totem of Bear seems to me an amazing boost to survivability but as far as i have read: Now, both Fighter and Barbarian seem quite interesting and solid choices for that role. I want to create a character heavily based on Great Weapon Master.

I would love, though, a Variant Human, due to picking up Great Weapon Master or Polearm Master feat from Level 1. So Half-Orc and Mountain Dwarf options are probably the most preferable, at the moment. I agree, since i guess it will be difficult to survive with normal vision in a difficult Underdark campaign.

The DM suggested all characters to have Darkvision -although that's not 100% obligatory. We will start at level 1 and we expect to play till level 10 or 11. Our group (3 players) is about to begin an Out of The Abyss campaign and i want a PC for filling the front line gap -2nd player has already opted for a wizard PC and the 3rd player is between ranger and warlock.
