If you want to play the superstitious class JUST LET EVERYONE KNOW AHEAD OF TIME “If you use spells on my character consistently without consent he will leave the party. So for my on entertainment, don’t try to force my characters hand before I say I want to retire the character.”

I'm expecting the fighter video to just be titled: "Sigh... fighters"

The Superstition Barbarian benefits heavily if you have a party member invested in the Medicine skill. A Forensic Medicine Investigator with the Medic Archetype could serve as a party's sole healing source and never clash with the Barbarian, same with a Chirurgeon Alchemist, even their Healing Bomb should work with the Anathema.

While barbarian isn't my favorite class, Amiri is tired for my favorite pathfinder iconic. Tied with Seeoni ofc who's just the most badass ever EDIT: 15:20 I know why!! They explain why those traditions are related on page 297 (I think. I'm in mobile) where they talk about the four essences. Arcane and Primal deal with matter, Arcane and Occult deal with mind, Divine and Occult deal with spirit, and Divine and Primal deal with life. That's why you can't pair Arcane with Divine; they don't have any overlapping essences.

Hold-Scarred Orc heritage can start with 27hp at 1st level con 16 (+3) class hp 12 ancestry hp 12

gonna just skip over the fact that spirit instinct resist ALL damage from undead. no matter what they do, a spell, and attack, an ability, anything you resist that. and undead you will be fighting at all levels. the fury instinct is only melee weapons, and at higher levels or even mid levels you stop fighting guys with swords, the bestiary is mostly monsters with abilities and strange melee attacks that are not weapons. where all undead, i mean imagine being resistant to all the dmg a vampire can do to you. hell even a lich, your resistant to ALL there damage spells. its super super strong

Ah Barbarians. They have a special place in my heart, one of the best characters I ever played was in dnd 3.5 barbarian frenzied berserker. I enjoy the barbarian in 2e. Thanks for the video!

For that one feet that allows the barbarian to use concentrate actions… The primary used for this would be for a barbarian that takes some sort of a spellcasting multi class the best use of this would be healing yourself in the middle of battle

15:18 now that secrets of magic is out, we do know why the superstitious barbarian is limited in his choice of "opposing" traditions. He has to choose one magic ESSENCE (which is a concept developed in secret of magic). Basically and essence overlaps two traditions and represent what link them. Here's the essences and associated traditions (I recommend this chapter in the book of unlimited magic in secrets of magic, very insightful) : Matter : Arcane and Primal Mind : Arcane and Occult Spirit : Occult and Divine Life : Primal and Divine As we can see, arcane/divine and primal/occult are at the edges, and share no essence ; that's why so few spells in common (only 1 and 4 as a matter of fact, excluding spells available to other traditions as well). Note that guessing the traditions related to a specific essence might be a good guess game while the wizard is looking for a spell or you have some dead time at the table :D but I might be boring. Hence, the superstitious barbarian opposing traditions falls into one of these essences, hence the choice limitations. Thanks for reading

animal rage might be useful for gaining different types of movement like climb or swim speeds

Shake if off: Imagine Taylor Swift as a barbarian raging on her exes.

Hey nonat, great video, but i feel i should point out yet again that(according to RAW) you cannot get an 18 in an ability score that is not your key ability score even with voluntary flaws, because voluntary flaws take place during the ancestry phase of applying ability scores.

I stated out Danny Phantom as a spirit barbarian multiclassed into sorcerer

Thank you for covering this class. I'm going to go dive into your explanation series cause I am trying to understand them better. Can't wait to see more of this series.

Isn't it amazing that this small slice of the Core Rulebook needs so much time just to go over it? (I love Pathfinder 2.0 btw.)

Damn dude, you've been making so many videos lately, it's crazy. Keep up the great work!

giants stature makes you large. the other feat lets you wield a weapon 1 size bigger than normal so does that mean if you are large you can wield a huge weapon if you can lift the bulk? the barbarian tries to enter the tavern but cant the tree he has as a great club couldn't fit in the doorway. lol, barbarian invents the first drive threw window as he makes the door fit the club.

I really really love the deep dive videos keep them up

Surprised at the lack of thirst for Amiri in this video after the Kingmaker playthrough. Some great art of her

I'm finally starting a game as a Barbarian, and I'm glad I found this channel. Focusing on unarmed thanks to the Slag May feat from the Changeling heritage. Gold Dragon Instinct as well. Gonna stack those damage types and eventually persistent damage!

15:25 the reason you can't mix and match, as I can tell, is that the two traditions share a magical source. I don't remember the official names of the magical sources, but as I understand it, it goes as follows: Arcane and Primal share the material source, since both affect the material realm primarily; Occult and Divine inversely affect the spiritual realm, so they share the spiritual source. Additionally, Arcane and Occult both share an academic approach to magic, so they share an academic source, where as Primal and Divine both share an intuitive approach to magic so they share an intuitive source. (and as stated, I forget the official names of the sources, so I know the names I gave are wrong) So it seems to me that the Raging resistance is designed to be about one particular source of magic, which makes it not really mix-and-match-able

It's weird how the class with the most hit points feels the squishiest of all. Considering how deadly crits are and how often you take them as a Barbarian, Rage should give you Level x Con temporary hit points instead of Level + Con.

I just made an Unbreakable Goblin Fury Barbarian with the Gladiator Background wielding a Greataxe. He's going to be a literal tiny terror on the battlefield.

Subbed! Looking to either start a PF2e game or play in one very soon, trying to binge all the info I can on it. Looks like a fantastic system.

I am currently playing a spirit instinct barbarian. Lore wise she is a young catfolk who is one of the last members of her tribe to survive a troll invasion. Her dead father possesses her when she rages, lending his strength and prowress to his daughter's side. I am taking her down a shadow dancer path to play with a blend of shadows and spiritualism. Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a spiritualist archetype in the game (besides the spirit barbarian themselves) and needing to take something for the free archetype, I went with Shadow Sorcerer as they are the closest thing besides undead, which I was meh on. Might retrain the charge feat for moment of clarity once I get a few spells, but otherwise, she is just fun to play with and smash things with her father's greataxe.

Just as a note, Titan Mauler has been errata'd - if you're small or medium, you get a large size weapon. Small characters don't get a medium size weapon.

Pathfinder 2 Barbarians are great. I have no interest in playing one in 5e but the PF2 version is very very good

31:30 i'm fairly certain that spells in 2e have versions for 1/2/3 action casting and you can pick and choose which actions you use so you could just not use the 3 action cast and not have the spell casting have the manipulate trait. 34:39 i'm fairly certain that temp hit points don't stack, so no duration but takes an action to replace your temp hit points. not nearly as good as you paint it. generally temp hit points last 10 minuets or until the effect granting them ends, so they should last until the rage ends.

omg the image of Amiri raging through my bedroom window made me almost choke xD

Necro comment (the OGL debacle has moved me to PF2e and boy am I regretting that is what made me do it so late because I love this system) That being said Giant Stature would increase you damage as your weapon would become huge as the text states “your equipment grows in size with you”

about renewed vigor, i think you would need to use the feat allowing you concentrate stuff first

Swipe and Cleave work together. You Swipe. If one of them dies, you can then use your reaction to hit the other one again. Kinda fun.

I feel like they dropped the ball with forcing barbarians to have a Athena. Like a paladin… While it might be true that some individual barbarians keep to a code of honor in general if you’re talking about them as a group the only thing that they have in common as a group has been chaotic… It really makes no sense to give them the same sort of restriction that paladins have

my favorite class

Here are some of mine opinions/add-ons on some of the feats. Keep in mind if never played pf2 this is meanly from a built perspective. 19:19 Acute Vision: you need to be raging in order to gain darkvison so a little more situational feat. 19:24 Moment of Clarity: this feat is meanly useful with archetype dedication features that have the concentrate trait without the rage trait (like rangers hunt prey) will still gaining rage bonuses mostly spellcaster dedications so you can rage and cast 1 or 2 action spells (maybe 3 action if you find a quickened condition for spells). Other then that it can have some situational moment with basic actions like the ready action or skill actions. 20:11 Raging Thrower: probably mine go-to 1st feats if I were to play pf2 barbarain because even if I don’t make a build around this feat it still good at dealing optimal damage against flying creatures and ranged attacker out of reach like: higher ground or on the opposite side of a chasm. Other then that it’s good for fun and thematic builds. For example a level 8 barbarian with a zeus complex adding a shock rune to a thrown weapon or a Giant Instinct barbarian with Rage Thrower having a Large weapon with the thrown trait.

Personally I'd say that for Superstitution Barbarian, I'd make it so you only have certain areas of magic as Anathema. Like you pick two and it counts for those two but the other ones are fine. The most obvious would be Arcane and Occultism though it could be flavoured a few different ways depending on which you have as Anathema. Like Divine and Primal would be someone who hates the natural order and wishes to destroy it or who's one of those witch Hunter sorts who considers those magics taboo, Divine and Occultism could see those magics as unnatural and needing to be purged for interfering with the world, etceteras

My thoughts on the Is throwing weapon barbarian It depends on your team and your GM If you are The tank of the group and the only competent melee class I think it is an extraordinarily bad idea. Same for if your GM dislikes scattering terrain around your combat arenas and only ever does open fields with no obstacle. One of the best advantages of this feat is that you have an easier time taking advantage of cover and avoiding getting surrounded by enemies, Plus it meets fewer double move and dead move turns. But if they need you to tank then it's probably better to take a sword in board et cetera Stopping said, I also thinkThat's the draconian instinct Makes it significantly better, because their rage gives additional bonus damage without any major downsides to dexterity. Dealing 10.5 damage on average with darts is no laughing matter. Plus eventually you get wings, and you get to take advantage of the real power of wings which is mobility . Play keep away Being in the air means that any enemy that relies solely on their Melee attacks is going to B easy pickings for you

I love the barb bully, but does brutal bully work with effects that guarantee a succesfull shove or trip, like knockback and furious grab. And do you think that furious bully works with the atletics check for awesome blow, and does brutal bully work with awesome blow? I find these questions are being overlooked by paizo and there are good arguments to be made for both sides of the discussion.

Barbarian in my party is taking shared rage and I'm a ranger taking the feat that shares my hunt prey. It should be crazy I am excited for it.

Giant's Stature does "potentially" allow you to deal more damage. The Titan Mauler instinct says "If you aren't small or medium, you can use a weapon built for a creature 1 size larger than you." Since GS makes you large, you can now wield Huge weapons (if you have one or can find one).

27:50 What you said is actually correct. "*While raging*, when you successfully Disarm, Grapple, Shove, or Trip a foe..." You had it right the first time! Then edited incorrect text over the video ;)

Superstirion Barb mage killer is the most fun to roleplay. You only need a good drug dealer, i mean alchemist.

Supersticion Barbarian does work well if a healer simply respects your choice to not be affected by magic. If they just bring a healer's kit to use on you instead, it's fine. Also another handy workaround is a ruling where the barbarian doesn't even know he is healed by magic. Most barbarians aren't very smart and will probably not be proficient in any skill to recognize magic. So a little loophole i always accept is, to trick the barbarian into thinking it's non-magical healing, when it in reallity is. Like telling them to hold still and whipping out the Healer's Kit, but in reallity using a Heal Spell on them while they don't understand the difference. However if they make any kind of check or are told that they were healed by magic at one point they have to refuse any further healing in that manner to keep their power. (Also i usualyl just scratch the part where they cannot even travel with healer)

Don't forget that renewed vigor has the concentrate trait, so you can only use it with Moment of Clearity.

Does spirits interference stack with actually being concealed, meaning they would have to make two DC 5 flat checks to hit you

Hey, Nonat; I know this is an old video but maybe you still didn't know this. Giant Stature's hidden benefit is providing lesser cover to your entire party during fights.

valeu amigo, eu não estava entendendo algumas coisas, um abraço

Are you going to continue the archetype series?

Hold up, can you not use weapons while raging? Since you gain animal instinct perkd while you do? Or do you activate animal instict as a seprate action?

You didn't care about Moment of Clarity, but did you count the number of Barbarian feats that had concentrate? Dragon's Breath, for example.

I am fairly new to the system and have a question about large weapons. 9:30 a large wweapon doubles its bulk and price. That's it? Is there anything else to consider I might have not read?

Do Ranger, please!

i just created a barbarian that i havent used yet. at level 1 it does 1d12 + 10 damage. i'm pretty happy with the results. but i'm still looking for ways to optimize that damage.....

So Monk with Barbarian Archetype Animal Instinct (Ape). Do I get d10 damage + Rage bonuses when using Flurry of Blows since the Ape weapon is Fist?

Take the throw a wagon feet and the giant stature and you can just be a giant.

When you say barbarian have resistance, is the half of their levels or full?

"Every barbarian has Darkvision"... Not my Lizardfolk~

Hey can you use gluttons jaw while raging?

Does anyone knows what kind of AC penalty is applied by the rage ? Proficiency/Item/Status/Circumstance ?

YEAH,SCREW ELVES! NEXT VIDEO IS GOTTABE BARBS!

Am I the only one waiting for someone to build a legal 6 level Giant Instinct Barbarian with +14 Athletics and (using the Giant's Stature and Titan Wrestler) will suplex freaking ANYTHING?! Titan Wrestler skill feat allows you to use Athletics against creatures up to two size categories larger than you are... And Giant's Stature makes you Large... Which means that these two combined allow you to use Athletics against both Huge and Gargantuan size creatures... Which means any possible creature from any sourcebook (except for incorporeal ones) can be suplexed by that son of a mom when he (or she, who knows) decides to rage. Do the Giant's Stature and Giant Instinct Ability abilities combined mean that a medium sized human while raging can use weapons meant for Huge creatures? If that is true, then I can make a pretty scary thing... I can LEGALLY attack a dragon with his own ripped off tail. When my character is level 6. Using it as an improvised weapon... Or even improvised thrown weapon with Raging Thrower class feature. 2d10+4 from his own tail tossed at him... That sounds... Amazing! And you can then become a Huge creature if you take a feat at level 14(?)... And you can use weapons made for Gargantuan creatures with practically NO PENALTY! If you are allowed to use Free Archetypes you take Weapon Improviser and become unstoppable machine that can use a sword of a statue with no penalty or you can beat the s**t out of a dragon with another dragon's corpse... Or throw something like a Huge Boulder...

Does looting corpses constitute anathema for a spirit barbarian?

I know im coming to the chanel kinda late, but im having trouble, its informed and communicated well, but the volume contrast from the pop in audio effects are at a much greater volume in several videos, its actually painfull when someone os listening with headphones, and suprising to others in the room if running on speakers, it kinda reminds me of when somw networks have tv commercials much louder than the show

Dude I want to play a pixi giant barbarian, go with the thrown weapons level 1 feat and the oversized throw feat and just chuck shit at people.

That is wrong on giant stature, when enlarged your weapons are considered large weapons, a large character can dual wield two double handed weapons as if they where one handed weapons. Now a gnome and dwarf can wield there two handed weapon like a shortsword. RULE SAYS LARGE CHARACTERS DEAL LARGE DAMAGE add a 2 dice to your damage of your unarmed or weapon damage unless a feat or item says otherwise.

giant's stature does technically increase your damage. it says your equipment grows with you, and that would include your weapons as well, and larger weapons have higher damage dice (or +2 per size increase if already a d12)

Fighter with a Spiked Shield and Power Attack is a better Barbarian... just saying! lol ;) Great video as always.

Scouring rage requires an instinct that changes your damage type. Doesn't animal instinct (have the potential to) change your bludgeoning unarmed strikes to piercing? Would that qualify?

Witch next please!!!!

All of the different instincts are very playable, but you’re right in most cases players will choose animal or dragon. The spirit barbarian may do well with the spirit eidolon in the future. I feel some great synergy coming from that. The superstition barbarian is just a barbarian who ultimately wants consent. And I think you can get around that anathema of magic being used on the character, is simply getting consent to do it. Could give examples, but it all boils down to analogies of protecting oneself against unwanted physical/mental....”things”. I can’t say what cuz of youtube policies. But if you roleplay with that in mind, it could lead to very in-depth character and party development.

Ooh, dragon barb would be fun... Someone insults you? Punch them in the fac..e

Don’t know who the character in the art is but I want her to step on me

30:43 20%

I mean you could get 18 in con, but you'd have to sacrifice strength bonuses to do it

I learned today that I have been pronouncing that word wrong!

Comment for the algorithm

Couldn't Swipe trigger Cleave? Cleave requires killing/downing a foe with a melee Strike, and Swipe makes you roll a melee Strike. So you expend two actions to Swipe and, if you only kill/down one of the targets, you could use your Reaction to Strike *again* the second foe. Heck, if you were surrounded by enemies you could even use it to target a third foe, wouldn't you?

I really like Barbarians but I think I like Fighters more than Barbarians in Pathfinder 2e.

Altuis here )

Supernatural is great with alch or medic healers

I refuse to play a throwing weapon barbarian if there is no feat in the game that lets you throw grappled opponent as weapons.

I just hate how some roleplay and flavor options are so tied to the game mechanics. I like when sometimes there are some interesting mechanics tied to this things but not the way PF2e where you are forced to those things.

Barbarians don't actually have to do the Atonement ritual to get all their features back... they just have to take 1 day of downtime to 're-center' themselves. Basically, the fact that you did something that's contrary to your nature throws you for a loop, and you need to take a day to process it before you can channel your inner nature again. It's far less punishing than the Cleric/Paladin anathemas, but the Barbarian ones tend to be more restrictive.

got to hand it to the 93 points damage charge possilble 2 nd level bard deer charge...YEAH gross.

The Anathamas or whatnot just annoy me here. Like, oops, I used a sword one time while angry, now I can't be angry that way. Like, the concept can work, but it feels just annoyingly restrictive when you forgetting it for a moment in a cool scene could raw make you lose your stuff... That's just... Bleh.

PLEASE SHARE THE BUILD IN THE COMMENTS AND PIN IT !!!

First! Lol

I don’t think you should spend a fee for role-playing such as giant size… I would not spend a feat on that… Role-playing should be done simply with your imagination but don’t waste one of your few precious fits on it

pathfinder 2e has to either be the best, or worst TRPG ever made.
