Barbarians are nice and simple. : D
Nicely done

So the angriest halfling ever is mechanically finished.
:twitch raised by bears?!?

We're just waiting on the board to be created,then i'll also bring over the setting info and the IC and OoC thread. Would you like a thread for Who's Who of the city, or would you like me to keep that in the setting thread?

Hey, I'm some Jarl's daughter sent out to earn glory and learn the world. I'm not raised by bears. :P

A THIRD BARBARIAN ENTERS THE FRAY, though if needed I'll play something else.

I had a player with a Halfling Barbarian in my home game. She was fierce!

I'm thinking either Warlock or Rogue.

We could be a party with 4 Barbarians and 2 Warlocks... XD

I will need help building this: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=76593

It seems I still get two skill proficiencies and two tool or language proficiencies.

Nevermind figuring out what items I have.

Quote from: EDIT
So I think I did backgrounds right.  Following a template, I got this...

From "Bouncer" Background
•Two skill proficiencies: Investigation and Perception.
•Up to two of the following: Brewer's Supplies (tool) and Tapdancing Outfit (tool).
•A Feature (usually a non-combat benefit, such as having a contact, or getting access to shelter/healing): When standing guard in front of a path, gain advantage on Intimidate, Perception, and Insight. 

I don't know if this works or not.  Am I doing this right?

Wouldn't intimidate be better than investigation based on your background as a bouncer ?

I have intimidate from my class already, but I could probably switch them around.  Well, maybe not since I don't think barbarian gives that, but maybe with the skill proficiency from human?

(EDIT: Yeah here we go....

 Better.)

By the way, am I doing it right?  I have no idea how equipment goes.  The closest I could find was that you apparently get something like 2d4x10 gold for a barbarian.... or some kind of pre-made package which for the life of me I could not find.  Any idea about that?

It's the background that gives you the package

Yeah, I.... I couldn't find those.  All I found (indirectly) was that apparently the backgrounds were examples and it was a template (the thing above, with two skills, two tool/languages, and a "feature".    So I made up my own.

I suppose I just make up a reasonable package of items for a "Bouncer" then?

(EDIT: I took the average of 2d4x10 gp, or 50 gp, and worked things out.  The items are filled and as far as I can tell, the character sheet is now done.  Awaiting approval, or figuring out if I messed up anywhere.)

You don't get a human skill proficiency and the ability score increase. And your statline only works with the increase.
