Super excited to try out DW for the first time in a couple days. I have devoured the book and loads of online material, and I’m finally ready to explore this pulpy world my group is going to create together! In preparation for the session, I just wanted to send the players the classes–no rules, just the narrative descriptions. The book is so wonderfully written, and strikes such a great tone.
One problem I’ve run into–I can’t seem to find a description for the Barbarian class! Barbarians are such a staple of tabletop fantasy (with my groups usually), and I was excited to see the authors had made the class…but is there a description written by the authors?
Thanks!
I don’t think there’s an official one, like in the main book. I’d use this, though:
“Hither you came, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the dungeon world under your sandaled feet.”
Love that Robert E. Howard-esque take. Thanks, may just use that as a jumping off point!
The brazilian version has one, i’ll to translate it
The authors did a Barbarian class as a kickstarter bonus. It should be around somewhere.
Yeah, it’s in the set of official character sheets, here:

+colin, thank you. I actually knew about the class already, but I was talking specifically about the flavor text–wondering if the authors had one for Barbarian. In lieu of that, and taking inspiration from the Conan intro, I wrote my own
Oh! I see. Yeah, I’d definitely go with the line from “The Phoenix on the Sword”.
