Barbarians and magic


Rules Discussion


Can Barbarians while raging cast somatic spells? Ie. Heal. This is assuming without Moment of Clarity.

Yeah. Lay on hands is pretty decent to pick up on on barbarians.


The remaster has, as far as I am aware (i scrolled through a few pages of both normal spells and focus spells, did not see any without concentrate) made it so that all spells have the concentrate trait by default.

That makes it very clear as to when a barbarian can cast them (assuming that the concentrate trait restriction isn't removed from the barbarian as part of the remaster).

Heal doesn't have it. Most spells are going to have it because its basically just if they had originally had verbal components.

baseline 1 action heal doesn't have concentrate. 2 and 3 action heal do


That was preremaster. Now there's no more concentrate trait to Heal.

The Barbarian + Vibrant Thorns combo becomes even better.

I've seen a barbarian with wizard dedication put Jump to good use. Extra mobility to get past all kinds of obstacles and get to archers and casters trying to stay on high platforms and all that.

Yes, there is. That's why it says "(concentrate)" after both the 2- and 3-action icons in the description.


Ho, you're right, I missed it. So that didn't change.
