You're going to give him a headache with that much information! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Put simply, Barbarians are brutes: fast, strong, and tough. They have more hitpoints. They move faster. They are better at dodging traps. They can rage for short periods giving them a big melee combat advantage at the expense of some defence.
One thing to watch with this class is that raging can give you a false sense of security. You gain hitpoints when you rage, but lose them again when it finishes. If you have too few hitpoints (2 x total level), you will die when the rage wears off. Heal yourself quickly!
better to have a headache from information overload than a headache because of no information to crunch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
just imagine a dwarven barb with maxed con. wohooo!!! massive hitpoints plus all the racial bonuses that dwarves get. you'll be a tough nut to crack in battle.
