Unrestricts Barbarian Faith#6552

A eora barbarian, or astarta does not make sense imo, it was limited before because barbarians are savage brutes who are likely to be worshiping savage gods, but i do agree with the hunt being added |
that would be funny as fuck though. the 15 strength horc going "I LOVE EORA!!!" before raging and obliterating a goblin |
I guess? Just kinda seems like another class change watering down the original idea, and i dont think Eora would like a barbarian following her, given shes all about beauty, love, hugs, and so on, and violence is about the furthest you can get from that (Ignoring that fact she's a spiteful bitch). Not to mention the big'o X god, god of trickery and whatnot should not be something a barbarian with sub 10 int should be following |

Barbarians are supposed to be strange, brutal savages, making them less of what their core essence is a bit of a mistake imo, even if it allows player freedom |
I mean, like almost everyone playing Barbarian is going to still be strange brutal savages? If people don't want to do that, then... fine. They can be regular dudes as Abyssorites or Ravoxians as well. All this does is remove an arbitrary restriction. Players will do what players will do. |
Arbitrary is a bit of a stretch, I kind of saw it like how you need to be tennite to play church. The only people I see playing barbarian as a 'regular dude' ravoxian is Cliff Anderson in the sense that he doesn't act like a savage and instead like a typical fool hardy (annoying) hero, using it for his own means (demanding duels while in full plate...) and in that sense your correct in that players do what they do. However, people should be leaning into the class idea imo, instead of using it as a stat and skill sheet to play OCs. A class shouldn't stop you from playing your own character, but when it stops mattering besides its mechanics, what's the point of it being a unique class? |
|
I'm fine with this. players can come up with their own reason why a bare chested axeman loves Noc. More choice = more unique characters. its not like barbarians have particularly ingrained lore anyway. |
About The Pull Request
It's in the title, this PR makes the Barbarian Adventurer class available regardless of faith.
Why It's Good For The Game
More character freedom is good where possible, and a Barbarian who's following a faith that isn't Dendor, Abyssor, Ravox, Necra, Graggar, or none of the above makes perfect sense. Plus this didn't include the Great Hunt, which makes perfect sense for barbarians.
