Barbarian Subclass
| “ | They are Rage, Brutal, without Mercy, but you, you will be worse. Rip and Tear. Until it is done. | ” |
Most Barbarians are subdued in their rage, holding themselves back and only using their anger when it benefits them. A Brutalist's rage is never-ending, a constant anger that burns until the Brutalist can no longer hold it back. A brutalist uses their rage ability to amplify the already potent anger they exude. A Brutalist is the purest form of a barbarian, someone fueled by no motivation other than their never-ending rage. A brutalist is never not angry, waiting for the slightest provocation to unleash their anger on the nearest unfortunate soul.
