The Barbarian's life is a simple one, but not an easy one. The field of combat is our crib; the blood of foes is mother's milk to us. Stand with us, and flesh your sleepless sword in training in the field. Live with us, and steel your mind against the taint of Magic's aid. Die with us, and drive your body to a warrior's dogged end while those of lesser mettle cower at inglorious range!
Inner Fire is the measure both of rage and of control, and the substance of Barbarian heart and guts; in purity, it fuels the bloodlust of the battle-hardened and stills the mind of the meditator. But be wary - the taint of magic will disrupt this fragile balance of body and soul, so leave the mana-meddling to those who lean on magic as a crutch!

Skillsets and Common Races
A barbarian's primary skillset is Weapon. Survival and Armor are secondary skillsets, with Magic and Lore as tertiaries.

| Gor'Tog | 29% |
| Human | 17% |
| Dwarven | 14% |
| S'Kra Mur | 11% |
Crafting Affiliation
Guilded barbarians receive three free technique slots in the Weaponsmithing discipline of the Forging skill.
See: Crafting
Barbarian Abilities
Barbarians gain new ability slots at the rate of 1 every other circle, starting at 1st. So 1, 3, 5, etc. Abilities will cost between 1 and 5 slots.
Inner Fire
The driving force in every Barbarian - that which is alive in all, but strong in few. A Barbarian's Inner Fire is the source of his/her tremendous courage and strength. For training, this skill occupies a space analagous to Primary magic.
Form
Forms are long moderate duration abilities offering a wide variety of buffs primarily to combat related things, such as stats, burden, offensive factor and warding. Will train Inner Fire, and then either Augmentation or Warding.
Berserks
A berserking Barbarian is able to push through physical pain and increase his/her strength and stamina. The barbarian could literally die on his/her feet when the battle rage wears off. These will primarily train the Inner Fire and Augmentation skills.
Bonus Stance Points
Barbarians gain an additional stance point for every 60 ranks in the Defending skill, like all armor secondary guilds.
Dual Load
Allows two arrows to be loaded and fired from a bow. Requires 201 Bows, 30 Agility, 30 Reflex and Eagle Form active.
Magic Resistance
Because of both Inner Fire and their disdain for the magical, Barbarians are much more difficult to affect with magic than any other guild. In previous version of DR, this was an innate feat. Currently this magic resistance takes the form of premier anti-magic abilities, such as Swan Form, Turtle Form, and Mage's Lash Roar. Barbarians have no more passive magic resistance.
Meditations
Meditations are long duration buffs which cover a wide territory, including damage reduction, such as Tenacity Meditation, or skill boosts such as the Focus Meditation.
The player cannot be in combat, and must be sitting or kneeling, to start a meditation.
Roars
Barbarian roars are strictly debilitators. Then can unbalance foes, knock them out of hiding, or reduce the power of a mage. They train the Debilitation skill.
War Stomp
At 100th level, Barbarians learn how to shiver the ground with their rage, knocking opponents off balance.
Whirlwind
The Barbarian-only ability to rotate in place, making an attack on everything within your weapons range. It also can be used to free oneself from webbing. The attack version of this requires 350 in the weapon being used and 30 agility and reflexes.
Barbarian Verbs
Different Verbs useful for roleplaying.
