I am currently starting The Keep on The Borderlands using 2.5 rules but I would like to include a Barbarian Character class. I am interested in some ideas for abilities and restrictions I could use.
Here is a general outline which what I'm looking for.
HD12
Some type of restriction on magical items used.
no rods, wands, and non warrior misc weapons
Beserking ability.
I figure I could just adapt this straight from 3.5
sometype of movement bonus.
An Armor restriction
this is the one I having the most difficulty with. I know in 3.5 barbarians can wear up to medium armor but I haven't found anything which specifies what types or armor are medium and which are heavy. Ideally Id like them to be able to be moderately armored. Should chainmail be the cutoff and which side would it fall on?
damage bonus? I'm not sure if this is needed in 2.5 as other classes do not have it and they are able to use magical weapons.
all thoughts appreciated
