Barbarians did not undergo very substantial changes with the new reqs. Here are the highlights: * No more 5th Weapon. It was silly to only require it very late in the game. * Conversely, 4th weapon is a real requirement now. It's small, but barbarians aren't called weaponmasters for nothing. * You have a Mastery requirement on par with your primary weapon reqs. This means that you need to decide on a branch of weapons (melee or ranged) to stick with. * You have a minor Tactics requirement. It's pretty stupid easy to maintain, and it's more of a flavor requirement than anything - Barbarians should have some knowledge of position and such. * Your Inner Fire requirement is on par with a Ranger's 1st Magic req. * Your first and second Supernatural reqs mean that you can choose which style of ability to use most. However, when ranks are grandfathered, they will be in this order: Augmentation - Grandfathered at a rate of 1st Supernatural Debilitation - Granfathered at a rate of 2nd Supernatural Warding - Grandfathered at a rate of 1 per circle * Since your app, mech, and scholarship requirements were utterly asinine, they've been removed. * You have far fewer survival reqs now. Where you had 10 (ten!) before, you now only have 4. * Consider, though, that your 7th-10th survival reqs were worthless - Once you had 20 ranks, you essentially never needed to worry about them again. Thus, it's really safest to suggest that you only had 6 survival reqs. * Evasion is now a hard requirement. It does not count as an Nth Survival. You're barbarians. Your top survival is always going to be evasion unless you're sitting in namby pamby classes all day.
