Arelith Changes

Change Level Description
Class skills - Barbarians on Arelith get access to Animal Empathy, Sail and Spot as class skills.
You're Drunk - When sufficiently drunk (below 0% sobriety) the Barbarian gains a boost to his strength. Three kinds of beverages decreases your sobriety: ale, wine (different kinds but same effect) and spirits. Drinking these will decrease sobriety and rest meter. How much they decrease depends on the CON stat of the character. This covers all character and not only Barbarians.
  • When a character gets drunk their DEX is decreased. More drunk means larger decrease.
  • getting a sobriety of -10,0% - 0,01 % means a DEX decrease of 2, is sobriety -20,0% - 10,1% the DEX decrease is 4 etc etc.
  • For every tick in negative sobriety the Decrease stacks. for example having a sobriety at -15% for one tick would mean a DEX decrease of 8.
  • Reaching -100 % sobriety means the character dies of alcohol poisoning.

Only Barbarians get the following benefit:

  • When reaching a negative sobriety, the barbarian gets a +2 (Soft) STR bonus. At next tick the bonus rises to a +5 (Soft) STR bonus.

TIP: when a tick takes you from Drunk to Sober the barbarian drunk-benefit remains for the next tick but at a +3 (This happens wither your bonus was +2 or +5). This means a carefully drinking barbarian can keep themselves in a two tick routine where they have +2 and +5 to STR with only minor DEX penalties. Any change to any meter (rest, drink, rest) will remove bonus STR when the barbarian is sober.

when drunk
  • Character has chance of stopping current action and laugh - frequency seems to increase as Sobriety decreases. Laughing and falling will make you flatfooted
  • Very low sobriety means the character also start falling
  • To stop the laughing emote the player can emote sitting and it should stop momentarily.
Barbarian Rage -

The Rage doesn't have any of the vanilla effects of NWN, but it will instead do the following:

  • Physical Immunity
  • Level 4: +5% Physical Immunity
  • Level 16: +10% Physical Immunity (Total)
Note: If the barbarian has lower than 16 base (Hard) CON, the bonus Physical Immunity reduced by 5% (minimum 0%)
  • Attack Bonus
  • Level 1: +1
  • Level 12: +2 (Total)
Note: If the barbarian has lower than 16 base (Hard) CON, the AB bonus is reduced by 1 (minimum 0)

Damage Bonus:

  • Base Damage Bonus
  • Level 1: +2
  • Level 7: +3 (Total)
  • Level 14: +4 (Total)
  • Level 21: +5 (Total)
  • Level 24: +6 (Total)
  • Level 27: +7 (Total)
  • Level 28: +8 (Total)
  • Weapon Damage Bonus (1H / 2H):
  • Level 1: +2 / +3
  • Level 7: +3 / +4 (Total)
  • Level 14: +4 / +6 (Total)
  • Level 21: +5 / +7 (Total)
  • Level 24: +6 / +9 (Total)
  • Level 27: +7 / +10 (Total)
  • Level 28: +8 / +12 (Total)
Note: The damage bonus will only apply to the melee weapon you have equipped or gloves if no melee weapon is equipped, at the moment of raging. The only non-melee/gloves weapon that will benefit from the Rage are throwing axes. Unarmed attacks do not benefit from the increased damage unless the character has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat.
Note: The damage types stack for unarmed damage: Gloves: Bludgeoning, Pugilist: Piercing, Rage: Slashing
Note: Twohanded weapons (excluding double weapons, including -twohand mode weapons) have the damage multiplied by 1.5, rounded down
  • Will Bonus:
  • Level 1: +1
  • Level 4: +2
  • Level 8: +3
  • Level 12: +4
  • Level 16: +5
  • Level 20: +6
  • Level 24: +7
  • Level 28: +8
  • Movement Bonus:
  • +50% movement rate for 3 rounds.
  • Temporary HP Bonus:
  • Gives temp HP = 3 * Barbarian class levels.
  • Duration is changed to 2d4 + con mod rounds.
  • Infinite uses/day but has a 1 turn cooldown, starting the moment the rage ends.
  • Rage is a free action.
Epic Rage - Epic rage feats are updated as well. Each epic rage feat updates the visual effect of Rage. Epic Rage Feats no longer affects rage tiers.
Thundering Rage
  • Prerequisite: This feat requires 20 Barbarian levels.
  • Prereqs lowered to 23+ str (previously 25+ str)
  • +1 Attack Per Round during rage, which stacks with Haste.
Mighty Rage
  • Prereqs lowered to 19 str 19 con (previously 21 str 21 con)
  • 20+ Barbarian level requirement removed (still requires 21+ character levels)
  • Crowd Control / Debuff removal now reapplies every 3 rounds for a total number of applications equivalent to the characters (Soft) CON modifier.
  • Does not Remove Turn Undead fear malus
  • Regeneration added at a rate of (Hard) CON modifier
  • Extends Rage by 1 Turn
Terrifying Rage Upon entering the aura of a raging barbarian with the Terrifying Rage feat, a hostile creature or player must make a will save.
The save DC is [(Intimidate/5)+(character level/2)+(Base CON Modifier)+5]. This is treated as a saving throw vs fear.
For example, a level 30 character with 35 points in Intimidate and a base CON of 22 would have a DC of 33 against Fear.
Against non-PCs, Terrifying Rage causes a 3-round stun and its debuff effect lasts three times longer.

Hit dice comparisons have been removed. Anyone that fails the saving throw is subject to the following effects:

  • Debuff: -1 to AB and Saves per 7 Barbarian levels
  • Debuff: +5% Automatic Spell Failure per 7 Barbarian levels
  • 1/2 round stun

The debuff duration is 1d3 + base CON mod rounds. Mind protection defends against the stun effect, but not the debuff. Fear immunity protects against Terrifying Rage.

Passive Damage Bonus 1

Barbarians gain bonus physical damage based on their Barbarian Class level and capped by their base Constitution (Hard) score, as long as they are wielding a melee weapon or throwing axes.

  • Level 1: +1 Damage (Total) w/ 12+ CON (Hard)
  • Level 14: +2 Damage (Total) w/ 14+ CON (Hard)
  • Level 21: +3 Damage (Total) w/ 16+ CON (Hard)
  • Level 28: +4 Damage (Total) w/ 18+ CON (Hard)

  • Level 14: +2 Dodge (if +2 hard con modifier)
  • Level 21: +3 Dodge (if +3 hard con modifier)
  • Level 28: +4 Dodge (if +4 hard con modifier)
Epic Bonus Feats - Barbarians gain Epic Bonus Feats at the following levels: 23, 26, 29.

Path: Tribesman

The Tribesman is a Barbarian Path. The barbarian loses the rage ability (including epic rage), and instead he gains, through deed or right, the loyalty of his clan: A tribesman can call upon two tribesmen to aid him in battle any time.

  • The Rage ability can be used to summon a Tribal Warrior. It does not have a limit of uses per day, but it goes on a six-minute cooldown if a tribesman dies or is dismissed.
  • The tribesmen act as henchmen, so they have no "duration" and will remain with the barbarian until dismissed or slain. A summoned creature can be conjured as well.
  • They share race and armor type of the Barbarian. Tribesmen don't use the fat phenotype and are always randomly gendered.
  • They share the Barbarian level (not character level) of the player character.
  • They don't share racial abilities with the Player character and they don't share any enchantments the player character has on their armor.
  • The tribesmen don't have any rage abilities.
  • A player may RP through the barbarians using the Associate Tool and the -a command.

Progression of Tribal Warriors

  • Equipment: The Tribesmen are called to battle dual-wielding a battle axe with a handaxe.
  • Enhancement: Every 6 levels, they gain +1 magical enhancement to their weapons. At every level, they gain +1 AC, up to 20.
  • Ability Scores: Tribesmen start with 16 Strength, 16 Dexterity, 14 Constitution. At every 4 levels, they gain +1 (Hard) Strength.
  • Saves: Every 2 levels, gain +1 universal saves. Follow normal barbarian save progression.
  • Feats: The tribesmen start and gain all normal Barbarian feats. They also start with Blind Fight, Spring Attack, Cleave, Weapon Focus in both weapons, Ambidexterity, and Improved Two-Weapon Fighting.
  • At level 9, gain: Toughness.
  • At level 12, gain: Improved Critical.
  • At level 24, gain: Epic Weapon Focus.
  • Skills: Follow a "martial" skill progression.
