Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – Barbarian Guide

Brutes. Madmen. Berserkers. Though city-dwelling people often use the term “barbarian” with a dose of disrespect, these rural warriors are respected by their communities for their ferocity and fearsome presence on the battlefield. Barbarians have a special, almost religious role in some cultures, but in many circles, the undisciplined, fearless style of the barbarian is simply how warriors conduct themselves.
