Customer Reviews

Not quite the UA version, but nice to see nonetheless.

Although not quite what you'd expect if you are familiar with the UA barbarian, the 2nd edition barbarian still fills in a void that the fighter's "barbarian kit" just never could fill. Its quite an investment for what many would argue is just a specialized fighter kit, though, so if you're not terribly interested in barbarians (or unfamiliar with the UA barbarian), you might prefer to pass on this book.For those of us who missed "real" barbarians, though, this is very welcome. A few things may seem silly, but always remember that the great thing about AD & D is "house rules" being a recognized force. Just because the book says something, the DM is always free to modify it to better suit his/her tastes. The ultimate establisher of rules is the DM and his/her playing group. The rest is just a baseline to work from.
