Henry VII.'s page

Welcome to a big issue of Chained Barbarians. Generally speaking, you shouldn't need to be that low of HP unless you lose initiative and suffer multiple full attacks from high CR baddies, especially if you have DR rolling (as most Barbarians should).

You're right. However, our group has high level of difficulty (approx from CR+2 to CR+5)... So I'm almost every fight at low HP.

Unchained Barbarian raging instead permits Temporary HP (with cheese prevention of course), so if you're concerned about dying due to lack of HP, Unchained Barbarian rage will be comparable.

I know about this option, but GM do not allow it and I have to do some research... Generally speaking, Chained Barbarians are better 2-H than Unchained because of STR bonus plus they have everything as morale bonus... So, Courageous+Furious is your best friend. But this is for the long discusion...

Barring that (because of obvious reasons), Moment of Clarity will let you bypass all of the issues that Superstitious proposes, but you only get one round, and it's only once per rage. (At least it's not once per day, so it's usable throughout a given adventuring day. Just make sure to watch your rage rounds.)

Perfect! God bless you! Darksol. That is exacly I was looking for.

And as it turns out, there isn't a magic item that gives you moment of clarity as a rage power. Whoops...

Тhat's a shame... :-/

THAT SAID, CONSIDER VIRTUE. AM GIVING 1 TEMPORARY HP THAT AM NORMALLY LOST FIRST, BUT AM NOT GIVING SAVE THROW SO IF AM ENDING RAGE AM TECHNICALLY HAVING 1 HP. GM AM MAYBE SMACKING WITH BOOK FOR TRYING, THOUGH, BECAUSE STRATEGY AM LIKE GOOD PIZZA: EXTRA CHEESE.

Sorry, what do you mean?

AS AM PROGRESSING, CONSIDER GETTING DESTROYER BLESSING FEAT ALONGSIDE MERCIFUL WEAPON AS AM LEVELING UP. MERCIFUL AM LETTING BEAT THE CODSARN SNOT OUT OF EVERYTHING THAT AM IN WAY, ALLOWING FOR TAKING ALIVE OR DEAD. ALSO AM LETTING DEAL NONLETHAL DAMAGE WHEN SUNDER, WHICH AM IMPORTANT. DESTROYER BLESSING FEAT AM ALLOWING BARBARIAN SUNDER, AND ON SUCCESSFUL SUNDER CHECK AM GETTING 1 RAGE ROUND BACK IF AM SMASH WHILE RAGING.

MERCIFUL WEAPON AM ALLOWING BARBARIAN SUNDER OBJECT OF NEARBY HEALER TYPE WHO AM NOT ACTUALLY TAKING ITEM DAMAGE DUE TO MERCIFUL WEAPON ENCHANTMENT WHILE STILL SUCCEEDING ON CHECK BECAUSE BARBARIAN AM AWESOME AND NOT FAILING SUNDER CHECK. THIS AM GIVING BARBARIAN INFINITY TIME OF RAGE AFTER BATTLE AM DYING DOWN FOR CASTY TO CAST PIDDLY D8+1 CLW SPELLS ON BARBARIAN FROM WAND, GET HP UP EVEN AFTER SUPERSTITCHIN SAVES AM HALVING DAMAGE.

ALTERNATIVELY, MIX MERCIFUL WEAPON WITH BOOTS OF THE EARTH, AM GETTING FAST HEALING 1 AS MOVE ACTION UNTIL BARBARIAN MOVE OFF SQUARE BARBARIAN AM SPENDING ACTION ON. STAND AROUND SUNDERING OBJECTS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, LET RAGE GO.

ONLY PROBLEM AM DEFINITELY ADDITIONAL FATIGUE HANGOVER FROM MULTIPLE BONUS ROUNDS IN RAGE. AM MAYBE CONSIDERING STOCKING UP ON ALLNIGHT, NEGATE FATIGUE PENALTIES. AM NOT LIKE BARBARIAN AM USING SKILLS ANYWAY.

Interesting idea! You're genius! Wow! Is it Destroyer’s Blessing + Merciful weapon technique legal?

Have you considered ranks in Diplomacy? Interacting well with others is a fun part of the game.

How about some ranks in crafting weapons? It's good to have other hobbies besides rage killing everything, and it may keep you from taking so many mortal wounds.

As far as your question, it's not unique to your build. How does any character avoid dying? We have been asking ourselves this since the beginning of time and will continue until we take that final rest.

PS Avoid Dying (words to live by)

I am not the face of party. This role belongs to other. We have rogue, Sorcer and brawler. So I am the muscle and meat of party :-)

My hobies is drinking, crushing skulls and japing around with arcane magic classes. I am playing character like The Hound from GoT.

My build is based on the edge of death... so can't just stop fighting to stop dying...

I'm making barbarian build inspired by Mike Schneider.

This Barbarian build is very strong, because you have double amount of HP, strong damage in the one hit(when raging, averange if not), high saves (thanks to Superstitious and +1/3 human favored bonus), but it has very low AC (nevermind... you have huge amount of hit points).

The build hasn't any weakness except one... when you get under 0 hit points, you'll die because of stop raging. However, this build working best, when you under 0 HP....
So, I need your advice...

Questions:
1)What you will do to survive this situation above?
2)Is there some possibility to overcome/bypass Superstitious?
3)Would items be used through the Superstitious?
