The big advantage to Unchained barbarian is the temporary hit points, so when you are dropped unconscious or stop raging you just don't drop dead. The only drawback I found was you get +2 to damage instead of +3 a core barbarian would get fighting two handed. Also Core gets the +2 to fort saves when raging. There is probably a good thread that already has this that I should be reading...
I have a mad dog barbarian and never considered unchained thinking it illegal. Can't say it's mattered, he's only got 4 barbarian levels and I don't think has even raged once. I imagine I'd keep the Core Barbarian just so I don't have to fork over another $10 to HeroLab for the Unchained add-on (I already have the book but have converted all but my -01 to HL). My impression was Unchained was a bit less cumbersome math-wise to use. |
