My first char will be a bard who can talk his way out of things.
Later I want to be an idiot who smashes everything in his way.

Origin: The dark Urge - Killing more stuff? Yes please.
race: half orc - extra crit damage, hard to kill and darkvision, plus it seems fitting.
background: outlander (athletics and survival, other skills would be perception and animals) - civilisation is not my thing
stats: 16, 14, 16, 8, 12, 8
classes:
1-5 barbarien berserker: rage, bonus action attck or throw, second attack, str to 18 at lv 4
6 - 9 fighter battlemaster: great weapon fighting style, action surge, maneuvers (riposte, disarm, prone), great weapon master feat
9 - 12: rogue thief: expertise, cunning action dash/disengage/hide, second bonus action

Equip the biggest weapon you can find, medium armor and whatever increases your damage most.
I am antisocial and too dump to cast spells. But I am all in for killing stuff and maximizing my power.

about subclasses:
- I was not sure if berserker or wildheart barbarien. (and what animal if wildheart)
I chose berserker for attack and throw as bonus action plus it fits the theme, but attack penalty for every bonus attack sounds bad.
Definitely not wild magic, I don´t like this kind of random stuff.

- I was also not sure about fighter battle master or champion.
Regarding champion, barbariens can give themselves advantage and orcs get more damage on crit.
I chose battle master because disarming enemies or attacking them when they miss me sounds very useful.

- for rogue I considered assassin because it fits the dark urge,
but another bonus attack sounds great if you can use it for an attack with a huge weapon (if possible via GWM so you get no penalty) or throwing an enemy into the abbyss.


any comments?

You’ll probably get more use out of thief than Assassin. Since you are using big weapons you won’t get sneak attack bonuses, so the auto crits in surprised enemies might not be as useful as the mobility you can get from 2 bonus actions or all of the uses of enraged throw or frenzied strike if you go berserker.

Berserker gives you special bonus actions. Thief gives and extra use of bonus action. Natural synergy there.
