Is it just me, or does the barbarian get no love from Wizards of the Coast?
I can only think of a few PrC for the barbarian, I don’t recall many items for them, and even in splat books there isn’t usually a lot of info about them, where as IMO, the fighter, wizard, rogue have tons of “stuff” for them to enhance themselves. I know the barbarian is an ass kicker by himself, but shouldn’t all of the classes be equal from point zero.
It just seems like WotC said no barbarian your cool anuff we are going to give the special new classes, equipment, variants, dragon crap to every one but you.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much what happened. In a perfect game, all classes are perfectly thought out and equally appealing to everyone, but as we know perfection does not exist.
Bah! Barbarians NEED no mamby-pamby splatbook cheese! WE CRUSH OTHER CLASSES BENEATH OUR SANDALED FEET!

In the last game I was in, I played a Nezumi barbarian. All the players loved him, the PCs respected him, he had proven himself numerous times in combat/dire situations, was a valued member of the party, and even had a ballad written in his honor. All this, and he was chaotic evil and a mere INT of 4.
Barbarians multiclass well, most gear works for them, and they can be just as varied/specialized as fighters, rangers, or rogues, while still keeping their own feel, imo.
But when you take it too far you get the Frenzied Berzerker. Nuff said.

Barbarians get a prestige class that lets them turn into a pissed-off dire bear.
Why would they need two prestige classes?

I love the bear warior, but honestly it's weak compared to the rest of the party at the same level. I had a reworked one some where. Basiclly I was kick, but in a grapple but lacked in everything else.

Did you have to threaten the wizard to make him write this entry for you?
